Installing New Septic Infiltrator raised bed leach field on Homestead

Maybe I shouldn't show this but hey! Someone made a comment of other channels to watch on AC's latest and got 62 responses. I added the following as I feel it's TRUE: "AC is 10/10 and a very likeable PERSON - he's REAL. I also enjoy DIRT BOSS, an honest guy putting out lots of work with only beneficial talk. Well worth a looksee!" Sonny (CT)

Looks pretty good! Do yourself a favor and backfill your septic tank as soon as they set it, when you have high water table or rain coming those septic tanks will float! I’ve been installing septic systems for 40+ years and I’ve seen it happen!! Keep up the good work!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes I hear you

Nice job DB in over 30yrs in the business up there I only did one of those systems alittle advice don't get old the golden yrs aren't all that golden lol

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yeah they're not too popular but they are coming around

[@AllstarVentures]

Love using the infiltrator chambers. Super easy and quicker than rock and pipe. We also get a 25% reduction In length when using chambers vs rock and pipe. Friendly observation= the drip plate for the end caps has 2 tabs that can be used to snap that plate on longs ways. Also we are required to use a screw to secure the end caps to chambers. Good job! Keep em’ going! I was racking my brain as to why you were tilling the sod until I realized the system was set above it.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks for the tip I appreciate it

That machine and most other modern excavators of that size are incredibly quiet. Hard to believe. The hydraulic motors on my 2004 Bobcat 753 have always been incredibly loud. I've always had to use earphones. Nothing wrong with it. Like new condition still but damn those motors are so load. Now that clanging bucket! I just had all the pins and bushings replaced in my Bobcat E20 and the pin holes on the side of the bucket re welded and drill and the boom and thumb make no clanging noises at all. I absolutely can't stand that metal on metal sound. I just think it's destroying itself every time I hear that. I grease the heck out of things to quiet it down but once they are worn grease only helps for a minute. Love your work and thanks for sharing.

Dirt Boss...If you have the chance to film how you use the laser grading level do you mind showing us? I have a general understanding of it but would appreciate you teaching us. Thanks!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

[@rustrtal]

Nice job! Quick question…why not bring the material in off the parking lot where the truck and trailer were parked and avoid the lawn? Low wires or maybe it’s really steep?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes it was really steep there and our system was close to the edge.. plus you always want to put your material on top and work your way to the bottom so you don't crush the system

[@rustrtal]

@@DIRT-BOSS Grade never comes through on camera very well

[@jimmyware511]

So, the chambers don't have any pipe in them? And no viewing ports? I plan to have a gravity fed leach field sand mound and just elevate my house and septic tank, no pumps. Is a certain type of sand needed, or is gravel required under chambers, what about felt? Thanks!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Each system is designed differently to your ground specifications with perc tests this one had no pipe

[@davidpritch718]

I thought perforated pipe had to run through the infiltrator lines, or is there an internal pipe in each section?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I've seen them like that too but this one is designed this way

[@davidpritch718]

@@DIRT-BOSS Does the pipe only extend to just inside the starter piece, and the effluent empties onto the ground and runs as far as it can run before being absorbed by the ground? It's a very interesting install you're doing, I enjoyed watching it.

[@khandam7709]

@@DIRT-BOSS really? so the water just runs over the top of the ground? seems like the inlet would get soaked while the end part would not get much water flow.

what type of laser are you using? Also would like to know what type of receiver is on the excavator for grade?

[@muxxor9492]

If a homeowner wants a stone and pipe system will the town draw it up and let them do it or they require infiltrator?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

The engineer draws it up and I believe He could request that option

[@karinaswenson9106]

Great video! My hubs and I always enjoy watching and learning from your expertise! Question for you: Are there limitations for equipment being on these systems while backfilling?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Hey thanks! Yes that's a good question you want to use a track machine and just the way I did on this horizontally first across the system

[@drewmurphy2796]

Do you have to bring in a bunch of fill now to cover the system?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes if you watch the full video you would have saw all the dump trucks of sand

[@darrenp5495]

What’s a rust line? This is a strange system to have so close to the house/ backyard . Job well done Boss

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Rust lines are the result of the fluctuating water table and dissolved iron in the ground water

[@bhermon265]

Great video 👍

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks

[@KubotaManDan]

Which system do you prefer this Infiltrator raised bed leach field or the stone & pipe? And just a ball park estimate on cost comparison? Another great video, Thanks

[@DIRT-BOSS]

The infiltrator system is more money than stone and pipe a fill system is more money than conventional

[@gibsonlandscapeconstructio7984]

Good job Dirt Boss🤙

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks bro

[@lonewolfdesignsbylarry]

What is the benefits of raised bed over a buried system? I am asking cause my 1978 septic system is failing fast and I live on a sand lot and needing a solution!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

There is no benefit You need a raised bed if your groundwater is too high or your soil content Will not percolate.. You being in sand your soil is good so your system must be saturated.. You could install a new one next to it or if you don't have the room that will have to be dug out and more sand installed then new system installed

[@lonewolfdesignsbylarry]

@@DIRT-BOSS thank You! 😊

[@chi4life61]

I am wondering when you do this for someone do you replace all the holes and everything and fix them when you’re done?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Not sure what you're asking

[@bigredc222]

Why are they raised, why can't they be deep so there's no mound in the yard?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Soil conditions everything is engineered with perk tests

That design would not be allowed in Georgia. Only two inches of fall coming from the tank will push effluent back into the tank in the first lateral. The top of the chamber is higher than the outlet side of the the tank.

[@dalepremo3695]

Very interesting system, DB. Was that type of system installed due to water table/soil conditions or just due to possible lower cost?

It actually cost more than a conventional system and it was engineered because of a high rust line

[@richardgordon4673]

Really weird. In our jurisdiction you have to dig to the clay and the sand sits on the clay, creating a rectangular filter 36 inches deep. This one looks like it will be infusing the lawn with turd water..... good for your children and pets. We also use 3/4 clear to support the header pipes, way more stable than sand. A very poor design.
