- In this video we are installing a 1200 gallon tank and septic system, showing the steps and how to build it properly. We are using a cat 305 mini excavator and a case tv 450 skid steer for the dirt work. we used 2 inch minus leech rock, for the drainage field. Most people know what a septic system is but here is a short description. Septic systems are underground wastewater treatment structures, commonly used in rural areas without centralized sewer systems. They use a combination of nature and proven technology to treat wastewater from household plumbing produced by bathrooms, kitchen drains, and laundry.
Here are a few products to help out your septic system.

It's amazing to see that process being done, looks great! 👍👍
Thanks.
Thank you for making a great video that really explains septic layout and planning. Super helpful.
No problem
Fantastic video…Shows the the complete layout of the system…Thanks for this video!!
Thank you for watching.
Excellent video. One of the best i have seen.
Thank you Scott
Thank you for this video. It will help us to install our new 1500 ltr black septic tank. On the side of the septic we filled up with big stones and gravel and it pushed the septic in so we have to remove everything out. Tomorrow we will backfill with soft gravel and cover the septic. Once again thank you.
I'm glad it helped you.
Glad Forest Gump knows a lot about septic systems! Thanks
These comments are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
Good job 👍 keep up the good work
Thanks will do!
Grasias por compartir esa gran esperiensa
de nada
Great video
Thank you
Nice job
Thanks
Hot dam that sustem is deep!
I hope you lay tracer wire. That’s deep to be guessing in 20 years lol
Lol
Such a cool video
Well thanks I appreciate that
@@SolidworksUnlimited thanks for sharing
Usually I get engrossed in the video but this time I am blown away by the view the house is going to have. What a gorgeous area. What state is this
Utah
Nice job 👍... a lot of work goes into a septic system... when you live in the city, don’t ever see that, just flush and the turds go away... Anyway great explanation!
Thanks Evan, I appreciate the support.
Wow. I cannot thank you enough for this amazingly informative video. I am a realtor who only worked with connected sewer houses. But starting with houses with septics. I could not for the life of me picture what it looked like-until now! Question. That green tank doesn’t look like the sturdiest thing in the world. How long does a tank like that last?
Your certainly welcome, the tank will last 50 years ish, probably longer, just as long as you don't drive heavy equipment on it.
i wish we could put 90s on our mainlines in ga
Go 4 inch instead of 3 inch and they might
thanks for this very informative video. question: what kind of pipe did you use for the leach field? and how much gravel was below and above the pipe? thanks
Your welcome, we used 4 inch perforated pvc pipe the gravel depth is determined by the septic designing or engineering
Just curios, that D-box is puny. I live in the Northeast and my D-box is much larger and made of concrete. My Septic tank is concrete as well. Where are you folks and why are you using PVC? Armature questions, sorry! Thanks for making this video. How much did this job cost?
Just an opinion but would two 45s work better on the inlet, instead of a 90. 90 has a better chance of stopping up with paper and sewage.
You could definitely do that, but not totally necessary, just as an example you could flush 30 toilets at the same time into a 4 inch line and not plug it.
I was looking at buying a lot that requires a septic system, and building a 4,000 sq ft home with 5 bedrooms, but the cost of this will make me reconsider. Thanks again, great video. Would be awesome if you provide a cost explanation.
For a 5 bedroom home, make a note that if their is a nook or library, storage room, any room that could be turned into a bedroom they will add it as another bedroom just so you know, but 5 bedroom you'll need a 1500 gallon system minimum. The leach field is dependent on your soil, which has to be tested to measure its ability to absorb water etc. Super difficult to give you an accurate price without knowing all the variables, slope of the ground has a big to do with price, is there room to place extra dirt or will it have to be hauled away, most companies will have a rock clause in their estimate which is if they hit bedrock its extra cost, I'll tell you this it will be between 12k to 25k ish and I'm sorry it's so vague but it's impossible to get it accurate with the information I have. I've seen a lot that was so small and it was close to a river and you have to be 100 ft away he couldn't even build a system on the lot, so he bought a lot paid dearly for it and it was worthless to build on, so due diligence is real, be careful, sometimes only a 1 bedroom house can fit the system. Just be aware is all I'm saying, not trying to discouraged you from buying.
@@SolidworksUnlimited thank you so much. God bless.
I just had this project t done identical and the total cost was 9k with 2 1000gallon tanks
@@SolidworksUnlimited is this in Southern Utah?
Critical to have the riser on the inlet side. That's where all the sludge and the solid waste that need to be cleaned out is.
Awesome video!! Thank you for doing it! On a different subject, how do you like the case tv450? I'm on the fence with buying a case tv380.
I like it alright, I have 2 videos explaining everything, but I'll be trading it for the TV450b hopefully solving a few issues it has.
@@SolidworksUnlimited yeah I just watched your 700hr review. Scary about the crankcase. I won't be buying new so I have to be very careful. I love my 305.5e2 so I'm leaning heavily towards the cat 259d.
@@JerichoRallyI believe cat is doing 0 percent right now, unless their offer just ran out, but really tempting.
I thought you needed to put the tank on sand and fill the 2 holes with sand. Waht did you use for drain field lines? No black pipe?
Why is there only one riser on the main tank and why only on the water exit end?
Doesn't there need to be a riser on the inlet end of the main tank to provide occasional pump out access?
This tank doesn't have a baffle in the middle of it and that's all that is required by the health department, there's really no need unless you just wanted to look down it for a piece of mind to make sure you got it all when pumping it out, which will take place once every ten years I only do it if the health department requires it, which is only on tanks with a baffle.
If I have every piece of equipment to make the septic system, about how much would the average person charge for labor as in just digging the hole and refilling?
WOW that is pretty deep! Usually don't see one go that deep!
Would like to build a house with a basement bathroom -- DO NOT want a sewage pump but will most likely have a septic system since it will be a lake property and no municipal sewer. How deep can a system be so the top ground does not compact on the leach field components? I realize the sewer pipe from the basement must slope at 1/4 inch per foot.
They can design you a system that will work for you, just talk with your engineer designing your system and explain what your trying to accomplish.
@@SolidworksUnlimited Well thank you -- I am going to try and purchase a sloped lot with the intention of having a walk-out basement and then bring the basement plumbing out that direction to a plastic tank and leach field (most likely a Infiltrator* system)
Infiltrator is typically for shollow but might work
Can I use regular weed barrier fabric to cover the leach field ?
Yes, get the best quality, because if dirt trickles through it fills up your gravel with dirt plugging your field over time.
Why did you put your distribution box past your first drain field then back tracked to the first drain field?
Good eye, the homeowners wanted it to be in that location due to placement of their RV, and Casita so it would have a space between the septic access and distribution box access, they were crunched for space in that area.
That was a 35-40 bushing . For longevity if it is your house you shoulda used sch 40 pipe
I am looking into doing a modular 4 bedroom modular home in south western Utah, that would need a septic system. I was wondering what a ballpark cost of a job about this size?
12-15k probably for infiltrators
That wouldn't even pass code where I used to install them.
How deep must the field be? Can't you make it double wide but shallower to water the lawn?
I think you have to have it 2 feet under the ground minimum, if it was much closer you would smell it and it would be too strong for grass anyway. It would suck walking on it in your bare feet lol
Hey, I’m in your area and need a septic install next year. Could I get your contact?
A lot work. How much is the cost for this system? Seems expensive.
It's expensive, all depends on how many rooms you have in your home.
@@SolidworksUnlimited how is the length of the leach line figured?
They measure the ability the soil has to absorb the water, and the speed in which it absorbes, basically if you have tight clay soil you will have a much longer leach field than a place that has Rocky sandy soil. In a nutshell it's Saturation level
Where is install? State, county?? Some places are awful to install a septic system...try Bernalillo county (Albuquerque).
Sch 30 and 40 that's what coupler is gor
How much does it cost
This looks like Utah??
It seems the tank is too low in the ground.
And if the field is deeper than 4ft over time the field will suffocate and then the field will fail so keep that in mind u don’t want it too deep
Correction I’m stating Colorado health department codes for infiltration chambers systems so rock and pipe maybe different
Why do you run pipes and install the tank so deep?
They wanted the system on the end of the house, and under the house the plumbing has to be 2 percent slope and there was a sink on the far side, we could have raised it 1 foot at best, but the inspector for whatever reason didn't want me to sleeve the footing. Everybody sleeves footings, but that would have lifted it a foot due to length of the house. But instead we went under it.
@@SolidworksUnlimited got it! Makes sense. Thank you for your reply
Can anything be added/flushed to help dissolve the poo & tissue?
Coffee helps the system, alot, rinse all coffee down the drain instead of discarding. It's not totally necessary though, poop and pee makes methane gas which dissolves almost anything besides plastics and concrete. In just a few weeks it will dissolve a copper pipe.
@solid works- liquid coffee? Or the grounds?
Both
Also for longevity you want concrete tanks over time those plastic tanks will get crushed by the weight of the dirt I’ve replaced many plastic tanks because health department says the tank was being crushed by dirt
If the plastic tank runs out of water from non use and gets low it can cave in, especially if someone drives on it, plastic tanks are not meant to be driven on or over. I agree concrete tanks are better, but not always available and more expensive, in this case I gave the owners options and told them the pros and cons. They went with plastic, purely off the price difference, and said they will never drive on it.
@@SolidworksUnlimited ahhhhhh yes good choice then make the customers happy
My brother had a 1500 gallon, round, hard plastic septic tank installed underground for his 3 bedroom home...about 30 years ago! The reason I say this is because his home was financed for 30 years and he had the round, septic tank installed when his home was finished being built. He paid his home off about 2 years ago. His septic tank is still going strong...after 30 years! Now, he does not let anyone drive or park over it. He has had it pumped out several times over the 30 years but it was done at a normal rate of every 10 years or so. You must realize that products made 30 years ago were made to last. They were made of better quality and lasted. Nowadays, everything is cheaply made! Things just don't last like they use to because they are made of far less quality. I'd bet my last dollar that if you were to purchase a round, hard plastic, septic tank today, you wouldn't get NEAR 30 years out of it!
Little bit deep ya think
The sewer had to drain from 60ft on the other end of the house, so that's as shallow as I could get it
@@SolidworksUnlimited thats cool there rated for 3 feet of fill over the tank. Looks durable
@@SolidworksUnlimited yeah ure in the desert 🏜 won't freeze like here we have to bury pipe 3 feet from the frost
all that job is just for one home? 😳
It is
WHY is everything so deep ?Systems need to beneath this deep it will never get any air
The homeowners wanted it in a spacific location away from the house, the house had plumbing on the opposite end of the house as well requiring me to slope 2% under the house and 1% out from under the house, thus it's that deep, it's about 3 feet down from the top of the dirt to the leach pipe, it's not that deep, I'd prefer it closer to 2 feet but it's within the required depth and passed inspection.
Who do we call on this of the system telephone number
Tirds😂😂😂😂
Why so deep?
The septic is on the end of the house, so we had to have slope from the far end, also the top of the tank is only about 3.5 feet below dirt grade so the trench is quite deep because of that.
