Installing a septic system wrong (chamber) Failed Inspection!

[@jessejohnson159]

This video gave me more advice than the couple of other septic field videos I've viewed so far. And it's given me the RIGHT questions to ask the local 'Regional Building Department'.😍 The best answers come from the best questions! 😁😁 Thanks TAA!

Whats the max allowed slope on pipe from house to tank and tank to chamber?

[@Liledgy100]

No distribution box from tank to chambers? How much pitch can you have between the chambers when the elevation changes? Nice video.

[@dbugman1]

The chambers are actually 35" wide hence the 36" ditch

[@gsconst59]

Excellent instruction and education

[@theappalachianamerican8607]

Thanks

[@ProductKingReviews]

Is there supposed to be a pipe inside the entire chamber? I saw one video of a septic guy that did that but my septic guy did not put a pipe inside the chamber, only pipe connecting the chamber. It is level.

[@theappalachianamerican8607]

Your guy did it right!

[@brucebrogden1769]

Yeah, no pipe inside. That would defeat the purpose of the tunnel. The idea is to get rid of perforated pipe.

[@batsquatch1987]

What happens if the ditch is wider than 36"?

[@goldenchild369]

Is using a pump system vs gravity fed a bad idea with the chambers?

[@fitzymon]

So you saying dig everything 36 inchs wide and all chambers are laid level. How deep do you dig the trench. Is the pipe out of the house level as well?

[@erict7327]

Could this be repaired if a section is crushed?

[@brucebrogden1769]

With 24 inch wide tunnel system and the top being 18 inches from the surface you can drive over the top of them (dry dirt) with 16,000 lbs per axel. They are tougher than they look.

Have a hard time believing the waste water ever makes it to the end of the tunnels. Id say the first half gets totally saturated over the years while the last half stays relatively unused. Be nice to put a camera down the inspection hole after a few years and see if thats the case.

[@UnderTheFloor79]

Depends on the dirt.

[@tgschaef]

An example in the extreme, but think of a river. It’s not impossible for a water flow to outrun it percolating.

[@codyharris3741]

Is a gravel and pipe better than the chamber system

[@daleolson3506]

Depends on the soil but yes I think it is

[@jeremyking5684]

Hard to beat the gravel lines! I've got some I installed 28 years ago still working great. I've installed alot of 10" graveless lines but really don't like it as good as gravel. I've installed some of the easy flow lines.

[@michaelohara2161]

I wish you would have shown the inlet baffle.

[@74nativemtman]

Like the dirt closer to the tank is not any better than down there. Bullshit.

[@JoseCruz-r7i]

Thanks for falling, and showing us how to do it right Thanks

[@mooosestang]

why wouldn't he just put all the rows right next to each other? I've seen this done in other videos and it passed whatever inspection. These plastic chamber systems don't make sense to me. Aren't they just open on the bottom? Who's to say you don't have one spot that just soaks up water a lot better than other spots and all the influent soaks in there? PVC with rocks makes a lot more sense in my mind.

[@Mike-px8rc]

NOT CORRECT BY LAW!! MUST BE 6 FT APART.

[@thomasalley4944]

20 minutes of saying level

[@db0nn3r]

lol “the wife”

[@BrucePotter]

Thumbs up for failing?

[@greenlantern1174]

I hear a lot of yak yak and no work getting done.

[@tomhetherington5586]

This is just a bunch of nonsense

[@GoldenTails23]

Comcrete baffles are garbage
