You probably did a more professional job than most who call themselves a professional. Great job!!
I agree. .my system is not near this large he should never have a probem!
I agree super quality thinking . great installation .
I’m a certified septic installer and you did a great job! Good work!
That system looks HUGE!
I thought the same, that looks like enough for a 7 bedroom house in Iowa.
@@jytheiowaguy1897 In the municipality I am looking at now they require a backup septic area And I don't know but I think it needs to be a distance away from the original so that's a HUGE problem as you can imagine!
By far the largest I've ever seen
I could have used this a week ago when a contractor dug into my system. I’ve learned more about septic systems than I really wanted to know.
At last I think I've caught up on the early episodes that I'd missed and hope to continue watching to the end Paul.
Firstly, "I am not a builder" but I do possess a lot of common sense. I am extremely impressed with your `seemingly endless knowledge`.
I have been glued to these videos and thank you very much for sharing this project with us.
Cliff from London UK.
Thanks for the encouragement and taking the time to comment. We really appreciate it.
nothing more satisfying then when the Tank goes in smoothly.... and they show up early so you don't lose a day lol
You’ve done a great job with that install. A couple of things I noticed that you might consider. Make sure you compact that area next to the tank under your inlet/outlet to prevent settling and shearing the pipe. The 2x4s under the pipe should be removed as they will cause a humped inside the pipe after backfill. I’ve been in excavation almost 32 years and a certified installer in my area. Good job!
Yea what he said. Just dug up my drain from the house to the septic. 20 feet of mangled line the whole 20 feet. Wasn’t a good spot on it. They had chunks of 4 by 4’s, bricks and firewood under the line instead of taking the time to do it the right way. And of course the line was under my concrete patio deck so had to bust through the concrete to get to it. Makes it much nicer when you can do it yourself and no it’s done right.
Was going to post samething you just posted. Ive seen about 300 cavedin pipes at both ends of tanks. 👍😎
For years I have been reserved about installing my own septic system. I'm somewhat of a contractor myself but everything that I've seen about codes and such when dealing with septic installations has given me caused for worry. And that's with all the videos that I have watched over the years. Watch your video has me thinking that I will be able to save $1000's and install in myself. Thank you and keep the videos coming.
Eh do you really want to do stuff out of your element while you could be making money with what youre good at..Thats how I see it. !
Great install! Great video! Don’t forget to fill that tank with water real soon. I once saw a buried septic tank float out of the ground after a heavy rain because the contractor failed to fill the tank. Best regards, Gottfried
I'm pretty sure your thinking of a plastic tank and not this big heavy cement one that were looking at I couldn't imagine a giant heavy cement thing floating out of the ground
Cement tanks float too! Yes there’s a lot more weight but there is still a tremendous amount of buoyancy due to their surface area. It may not totally pop it out of the ground, but it could float it enough to cause it to backup into the house
@@zorroonmilkavitch1840 not sure if you've ever seen a houseboat, but the ones I have seen have a concrete box under them like a basement. They do indeed float.
@@thedaddiiiwow I'm just thinking they have cement boats and now that I think of it about it wow they would they would float wow you woke me up
Concrete is similar to steel when making a boat, pontoon, etc.; it is all about bouyancy. If an object is less dense than a liquid the object will "float" in the liquid. I have seen a 1 1/4 inch steel nut float in molten lead. If an object displaces its weight in a liquid which is less than the volume of the object it floats. Ice floats in water even though the ice is water because the ice is less dense than liquid water; ice is about 90% of the density of the same volume of water.
I worked for a small 3 generation septic company. You did a great job! The outlet filter is cheap drain field insurance also 👍 .
english20002000 but you have to have access for maintenance because they have to be hosed off every 6 months to a year.
@@richardrobinson5085 Yeah there's a riser on top with a lid for you to access it and pump the tank out.
First time I watched your job and i should say you are doing a great job.
Well slowly and clearly spoken.
Paying attention to details that are nessarry and video is well done as well.
I built a house 30 years ago with hammer and a circular saw.
And i am still learning.
As a regulator for New Mexico he did a really good job, proper tank bedding, dbox set and speed levelers, didn't cry about the large field size requirement and did not advocate non-compliance because compliancecosts too much. Proper pipe bedding was the only thing not mentioned. Great job. I may recommend this for training sessions for installers and regulators.
Great job Paul, nicely explained, loved the drone footage, very effective visual. Greetings from the south of England.
I've got a 3 bedroom home on clay sub-soil ground with a plastic onion design septic tank that all the waste is first fed into from where it's pumped about 50 ft to top end and the start of herringbone pipe layout.
Once a year the solids are taken away in the honey-wagon costing about £180 ($220) to take away. We have a 100 ft garden about 25 ft wide. Before getting the council permission I had to dig out 3 square holes 1 mtr deep for the percolation test which took about 90 mins to drain away.
Lived here since 1995. The first septic system consisted of 3, single skin, brick chambers, one lower than the other with the final end coming out into a footpath. The house had been a holiday cottage for about 15 years.
I have never install a leach field like that but I must say it looks like it will work great. Nice video Marshall.
excellent job, I am an Architect, and I just wanted to say you did a fantastic job by showing us the inside of the tank and explaining really well the functionality of it. A high five to you my friend, great job.
Thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated.
Wow, you sure did an excellent job installing the septic. I admire your "can do" approach with a desire to do it perfectly. Thanks for sharing a very well done video!
I liked how you mentioned calling the Inspector. They are there to help!
Awesome job. I stumbled on it while rabidly researching French drains to fix my wet backyard. I appreciate the encouragement about researching and then gaining the confidence, then DOING IT!
I have retired just this year from residential contracting. I live in a rural area of northeast arkansas and have put in many of these type of systems. I can appreciate your attention to details. I have used distribution boxes and also a Bull Run valves which distributes water coming out of tank to three 100' lines equally.owners are to switch to three alternate lines twice yearly or so to give time for first lines to dry out. Around here seems the installs are changed by health dept. from time to time. your install is very professionally done. good video!
Thanks for watching!
I almost went by because I was looking for a really quick overview video. Glad I stayed. This was a really concise and super informative video. Well Done! This falls under the old adage "you learn something new everyday".
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not only a great job on the install, your video production was a professional quality tutorial. A+
Very informative for this city plumber.
Thanks for watching!
Marshall I think you executed a thoroughly perfect hands on, common sense approach! I will need to install a septic system for my home. But it is a little different, an aerobics system. Due to my property is about 75 yards from a large lake. Here in Texas there is a state code we have to abide by involving waste solid waste treatment. I also have been in the home remodeling for many years. All it really comes down to, is mind over matter, and I can do all things in Christ Jesus who strengthens me!
Thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what I needed to understand how the septic concept works. Everything else in therms of installation is a piece of cake.
Thanks for watching!
As a professional Septic Installer, I am Impressed with your work. Everything looks great. As said before, make sure you bed your inlet and outlet pipes with gravel, pack gravel underneath both with a sharpshooter. Only thing I don't like about your whole system is the Infiltrator Chambers. They make great tanks but the chambers can be a pain down the road.
The only problem I've seen with them is when the septic pumping truck drives over them.
A great job. Methodical and well done. Since it's yours, you care about installation.
Always!
Its nice when you can use original soil. Up here in Connecticut sometimes you have to strip and haul in state approved septic sand, thats when it gets expensive. I used 200 yards for my system that alone was over 6 grand.
Excellent work! I worked my way through college as a sewer layer in the city ~100 miles to your west. The only thing that would've failed were the 2×4's under the pipe & the abscence of gravel backfill under your pipe. That's not to say those things are make or break items, code differs from place to place, but overall this is one of the only septic videos on YT that didn't make me cringe👍! Nice job!
Just hope after all your work the inspection goes well. God bless
We passed with flying colors! Thanks!
THIS VIDEO IS VERY EXPLANATORY YOU ARE THE PROFESIONAL OF THE PROFESIONALS
Great job on septic. Without attitude very nice.
Thank you!
Not at all boring or maybe I'm a weirdo. I like your attention to detail.
Very thorough, very organized, good photography.
Very informative. I feel the same way, if one man can do it, another man can do it.
Thanks for watching!
you definitely have common sense!!!!! looks awesome!!!! you do great work!!!! i'm looking to build, and i find it very hard to ask for help unless i absolutely have to. my favorite word is determined, no it can't be done is not a option
Thank you for an easy to watch and understand video of the entire process. Hopefully sooner than later I will be in the same position, as with many aspects of your build overall, and your experiences will indeed be rather valuable. Again, thank you for all of your efforts. As well as your positive influence, i.e. Casting Crowns. Many blessings to you and yours, Keith
You did a great job man very clean very professional should be proud of yourself be safe God bless
This will be an inevitable chore once we get our land. Thanks for the heads up!
Nicely done. Great attitude getter done and share it with others. Laser level is one of the most important with the septic system.
Building my own pole barn house. Starting the septic Friday. This video is very helpful.
Ben McCallum that’s awesome. Glad the video was helpful.
In my country we just digging a deep hole like 6 feet into the ground covered it with steel and cement and don't forget to pin a tiny pipe to the inside out so so the tank wouldn't blown. This is new for me!
Always interesting to hear what is done in other places. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video. Well done professional installation. Terrific training video for all. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!
I've never seen a septic system installed before, this was pretty cool to see.
Excellent video and clean installation! I do things myself and the key to your success is common sense and research! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you!
Looks Great!!!!! I have built septic systems. It looks like you will never have to replace that system. I had a 4000 sq ft house with 4 bathrooms and my system wasn't that big but I did put about 6' of sand under my Eljen geotextile system. I'm aerobic now in my new house, much cleaner and smaller.
I've been contemplating a future construction project: building a 1K sf container home...a septic system would be in the plans...your video has been tremendously helpful...while I foresee lots of work and attention to detail there's no better feeling than knowing you did it yourself and did it well...congrats...
In Texas we ran field dead level. No deeper than 3 ft depth from top of ground. In low rain areas, As deep as 5 ft if needed. I did conventional systems and ez flo and panels. Also aerobic spray and drip systems. We did 150 foot max length per run field lines. Good video. Never used distribution boxes just dead level headers.
Thanks. I always find it interesting how things are done in different places.
Nice job, well done presentation. you did much better than anything i've seen on the hgtv/diy type of "kapow-yeehaaa-yay" junk shows
Funny just came across this vid. I put the first infiltrator system install in the country. Back in about 1987/88. Stonington ct. they were there first ones proto type
Amazing the difference in areas. Where I live in Utah you get a licensed guy to sample your ground. They tell you how many feet of drain field. Then get health dept permit, if they will allow. We can use infiltraters or perf pipe and drain rock. I charge about 6000 to 6500 per system, I pay for everything. Good video.
Looking to buy some property and stage a house, so this video was gold. Thank you so much!
wow thats massive system, good job
Very profesional, I had a plumbing company install a septic system. After a year I started having problems with the liquids not leaching into the field lines and had to have it pumped out once a year.
Super Informative video. Thanks for making it.
Thanks for watching!
This has been the best you tube channel so far.
Thank you so much! We appreciate your comment.
Thank you for this video for i never got to see our septic as it was put in so its really nice to see how it goes plus i did not know about cleaning trap or filter once a yr either, which would mean lol we are wayyyy behind doing it. Thanks again!!
Glad it was helpful!
Mark Kinney plumbing here in charlotte NC, and this was a great show brother, great job .
Wow looks very nice!!! Just seems over kill. Laws there are strict....I just had use 3 runs 100 ft each. 1000gal take an red clay dirt...
This is about the only thing our county has an opinion on.
You've come a long ways Brother (215 subscribers at time of video to 340k now!) So proud of you...keep it up! 👍 👍
You have done a heck of a great job and made excellent videos simultaneously... Don't know how you manage it all, but I'm glad your do!
Coming along great! Diggin the drone shots!
i'm a septic and plumbing contractor and I install systems on a regular basis...I see a few things I would do different...(concrete box, less bends for the header lines) but overall looks fantastic! I'm impressed!
Thanks for your comment!
In our municipality they require 6" of gravel underneath the pipe and up to the top of the ipe. So 10" total gravel. And 12" on either side. Then cover. We have about 12" frost line so it needs to be down 12" minimum to the top of the pipe. We usually start at 24" deep to start then drop from there. You did a good job.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
That is one massive drain field... Well done video .
Tremendously valuable video. Thanks for putting it up.
If you have ground burrowing critters you should place chicken wire under the chambers. Adding viewing ports. Good job! Coming from a skilled pro installer.
Thanks!
This was a great video breaking down how it works and how to build. Thanks!
Thanks!
Very educational, didn't realise there maybe a filter on the 2nd chamber outlet
Thanks for watching!
93.8k subs as of when I watched this video. Congratulations I can see why you are growing. I am just about to start my own home build with septic and well. Thanks for the great info 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice job, that's a lot of work when you do it yourself with no help.
amazing determination - amazing effort. Good to see your confidence in being able to do anything you put your mind to.
How cool is that crane truck! What a handy thing.
Very impressive looks very nice, I am in a process of building mine too for a 2499 sqft house average I have to dig 8 trenches 75 ft long each, is going to be a lot of work but your video had encourage me to do it plus will be getting a little help from a professional plumber.
Thanks for watching!
Stubborn ? you are a top quality guy .. Well done . . this is easily the best video I have seen . The leach soakaways look like they are a better idea than tubular soakaways .
Hey thanks... and stubborn is one of the words for it haha! Appreciate your comment and encouragement.
i learned alot thanks for the thorough camera work ....helps alot to be able to see the details.
That will make a nice garden area.
looks great we did systems for 20 years
You did a very nice professional job...
beautiful space. Breathtaking location.
Ugh so glad I have town water and sewer
Thx for great video and the encouragement Sir!
Thanks for watching!
nice job, my man. we feel your heart, love, passion. keep on doing what you do.
Thank you very much!
I’m getting ready to do a system here in Oregon, I can do anything I believe . Your video was very helpful
Awesome!
Looks like you know what you're doing. (That's a compliment!) 👍
I'm getting ready to have company put in this same type of septic system you are doing. I'm keeping your video so I can see if they do as good a job as you. Thanks for a great video👍
You did a great job! Thanks for showing us the process...
Nice looking tank.
I have no intentions of ever installing anything like this, but damn was this informative and entertaining for me.
Thanks for watching!
My county inspector is pretty easy to work with. We are able to backfill as we go. Keep both ends and all plumbing open. Dig one trench and dump into the other.
I was wondering about that on how he can access the piles to back fill. The nice thing about this system is it is all gravity fed. I worked at a mountain resort that had to pump the fluids to the field. It is no fun when the pump fails because of tampons!
Another great video! Thanks Paul!
Amazing job, you are such a hard worker. Good job.
Thank you!
Hey man this was a great video! I really enjoy watching videos that will help me learn more with my time. You did a very well job working all this alone " Even though you could've had a hand to grab a thing or 2" good job!
Excellent video! Very well done!
Very good information with clear explanation thank u bro
Awesome and well explain. I like the aerial view it give a good perspective of the job
Thanks for watching, we published a cost breakdown video if you're curious th-cam.com/video/swCz8hxd1-8/w-d-xo.html
You're a cool dude. I am glad that it is all going well for you.
I appreciate that!
For your giveaways, Milwaukee is good stuff and lots of trinkets like LED headlamp, fold out ute knife, inkzall markers. Cool project. I am wrapping the finish work on mine, in PA.
That’s a huge field
Gotta make the county happy!
Marshall Remodel BTW how many bedrooms? Sorry if I missed it.
Septic tanks?....... TH-cam recommendation always suprise me...
Yey!
This is the first time I have seen those type of leach lines. The ones I am familiar with are the ones with rows of holes along the length of the solid pipes or slots in the flexible pipes and filter fabric is an option on either type of pipe. Of course nothing but grass should be planted or allowed to grow over the leach field to help keep roots out of the pipes. I also remember that the leach lines should be bedded in and covered by small washed gravel or coarse sand but it has been years since I have seen the suggested designs.
those septic chambers work far better than a lateral line and allow for vegetation to be closer. We are surrounded by trees and had our lateral lines replaced with these chambers and were assured that it won't be clogged by roots. If you think about it, the water just runs out of the pipe and settles on the ground...the roots will stay where the water settles. No worries of clogs like a lateral line.
awesome job
Thanks!
