Septic tank field lines have to be replaced periodically, so that the septic tank can properly drain and not back up. My septic tank’s field lines were around 25 years old and were no longer functioning properly. My septic tank backed up but fortunately only affected my basement before the problem was remediated. I learned a lot about septic systems as the result of this and wanted to share my septic system knowledge learned within this video. For starters, always reach out to a licensed septic technician to be certain that your septic system is pumped out frequently and correct and ensure that your field lines are functioning properly. My septic system’s field lines had failed, liked due to age but tree roots and driving over the field lines with a heavy tractor could have contributed too. There was a lot beyond septic system field line replacement that I didn’t anticipate. You lawn will likely be mostly destroyed when field lines are replaced, so plan to level the dirt as it settles and plant grass. That should be factored into the cost of septic field line replacement. Also, ask the septic technician touch questions. In certain situations, only the field lines may have to be replaced and the septic tank may be fine. Also, if your current septic system isn’t a capped septic system, you may want to consider adding a capped septic system because it may reduce the cost when your septic system is pumped out. Also, a capped septic system prevents the lawn from having to be dug up, whenever the septic tank is pumped out. I hope that you find this video to be informative and the key takeaway should be that preventative septic tank maintenance trumps having to deal with expensive and disgusting sewage clean-up, due to a backed up septic system. #SepticSystem #SepticTank #FieldLines #Plumbing
