Clogged Septic Tank

Customer's septic tank was backing up. We showed up to help fix the situation.

[@gmshep717sdad]

I'm sure the blockage has nothing to do with the GIANT tree right next to the tank! No inlet baffles in my area, they cause more problems than they solve. Only outlet baffles. Great content for this septic installer! You earned this sub when you said "poop smoothie" in a previous video!

[@califdad4]

My parents were on a septic tank for 6 years before the city sewer line came out, and the leach field was failing because mom said sh😢 used low sud's detergent because of getting suds on the lawn, but I know she planted a tree right next to it about 3 years into it, im pretty sure that was the issue

[@mspromise]

You should end your vids with *Tanks for watching lol I love the content

[@ledfarmer4571]

God bless the men that do this type of work.

[@chanellewilson7094]

is there a difference between pumping it out and cleaning it out?

[@guitarado]

what is the price in USA for this ? In Slovakia EU, I have figured sorta thing out last week. My septic tank was full and the waste into the stream was blocked, so I release it with the WAP. I had to go inside the tank with a special mask and high fishing boots.

[@hsteeves]

Ours is underground 🙄 and currently backed up because bathwater has been coming up the sink, gurgling toilet, washer spitting out water. So we aren't sure what to do. And getting someone rn is so hard.

[@J_A_M_E_92]

Funny you sanitized your gloves with dirt. I work for a trash & recycle company and anytime i get some "trash gravy" on my gloves ill do the same thing if theres access to dirt anyway lol

[@johnmays2798]

You need a light to go over the hole so we can see inside better. Good content. Im subscribing!

[@LDSKIPPER1911]

At 10:09 you see a big tree right in the middle of their drain field. I guarantee that will cause catastrophic problems in the future if it hasn’t already.

[@PoorPumperSociety]

Good call. I recommended RootKill after we were finished

[@Earthcitizen4609]

Are you allowed to pump dirt that has fallen in the tank

[@outdoorssytube]

Our tank was over flowing yesterday. We got it pumped out, now debating on snaking the outlet line or trying to add some biomat chemical.. any suggestions?

[@docholliday4546]

does flushing active yeast really work to eat the solids?

[@walkingfreak]

You'll start to notice your plumbing fixtures inside the house starting to gurgle and do all sorts of weird shit when the septic system starts backing up.

[@asu-5748]

Our's Backed Up Last Mont Cause It Was Clogged, It Was A MESS. Poop Was All Over The Place🤢

[@J_A_M_E_92]

Well hopefully the info you gave in this video will help me with my septic issue. After i get off work im going to look into my issue using the info you provided.

[@kenbennefield9274]

Very cool videos , how long did you make your stinger in about to make a couple up and was wondering what works the best for you?

[@lindamorgan2678]

Geez you are pretty good at finding the exact spot for that lid and getting it off ! Go north young man and dig for GOLD !

[@esava2874]

Do you recommend using Roebic products for the tank and leech field?

[@michaelohara2161]

Move your stuff people. Workers need space.

[@Captainpook12]

Dealing with septic was a pain. Sometimes it the vent that won’t let the toilet flush make sure there’s no dirt or rust in vent tube.

[@felipec3476]

God bless you for doing this work. Please remember about cross contamination between the pipes that touch the sewage and you touching the areas the pipe touched the sewage with your gloves. The same gloves that touch the phone you were using for recording

[@onedeadindian]

Should I use antibacterial soap?

[@Cabbage_Town]

What do you do when your clean out is in the basement. I don’t want poop water on stuff in the basement. Should I pop the green cap outside to look. Septic is newish. Pipes old.

[@NickManCuso59]

💩 runs downhill alright !

[@nateanth]

Ever had one of those square lids fall in? The outlet one was on the verge. what do you do if it falls?

[@bmaiceman]

Ppl who don't flush scrappy TP instead put in trash can are just gross. 😝. Toilet paper is ment to be flushed PERIOD!! To leave it in the bin to be dealt with is disrespectful!!

[@BrassLock]

In South East Asia you're specifically PREVENTED from flushing shit paper into the Septic Tank, and MUST put all shit paper in the rubbish bin. Haven't you ever gone on holidays LOL!

[@califdad4]

You use a waste container with a lid and lined with plastic, and dump your container frequently

[@bmaiceman]

@@BrassLock I have never left my own country. Not likely that I ever will. Way to expensive and complicated. What does holidays have to do with travel abroad?? I'm not wealthy enough to even travel across my own country let alone LEAVE my country.

[@romaellodfranco72]

How much for the service depicted in the video. The tank is 500 gallons.

[@fionafifi7029]

Currently have this problem but the access where the cement is is huge i cant lift it. I thought there was a smaller cement block that is liftable? I dont know where it is though.

[@oakland002]

Probably drop a couple of phone doing this job 😅

[@jackpalumbo6949]

I don’t have those things for her outside can I put them in or would it be something that a homeowner could do or do I need to hire a professional

[@Forged721]

Your a hard working dude bro👍👍👍

[@LeicaGS18t]

what is the idea of having to dig op soil just to get to the septik tank ? btw im from Denmark so i dont know what rules there is over there :)

[@refused215]

Ever dropped your shovel in a tank? Lol

[@grasscutter88]

You ever dropped your phone in the tank?

[@vierdoesit]

Smells like money

[@PoorPumperSociety]

*inhales poo*

[@Daniellegarrow]

Thank you on information. Don't know what rizers are thou? My septic inlet is surrounded by red bricks, bought my house this way. I have leach field in front yard and they way I can tell how it's doing is by how green the grass is in that area. The only problem I have is during the spring after snow thaw is lines taking long time to flush through.

[@mikebelcher6692]

they make a replacement square lid with 10”-12” plastic pipe”riser” built in that sticks up several inches, and additional plastic only riser pipes if needed to get closer to surface level of yard. I installed one on mine.

[@viccw2366]

Great video thanks a lot!!

[@MyNathanking]

4:27: SNAKE!

[@candicebaker2663]

I wish I could work for you!

[@solarwinz8142]

Do the concrete hatches remain after installing risers? Tnx

[@MeliTX]

No

[@candicebaker2663]

Would that cap (pvc cap) be in the basement wall in the house? I can't find one outside.

[@douglascarpenter5433]

Yes mine is in the house in the corner in line with tank ouside

[@candicebaker2663]

@@douglascarpenter5433 Thank you!! :)

[@pmouldentattoos7378]

Bruh touching everything with them dookie gloves 🤣🤣 gunna play on the phone then hold that joint next to your mouth 🤢

[@Joe-ql6nn]

You would think the client would have cleaned their stuff off of the Patio , before the shit happens

[@MrGrandure]

If your septic backs up, consider switching to sewer or sell.

[@ArtistCreek]

You can't just switch ro sewer. If you have a septic it's likely you aren't on city sewer or water lines. If you have a septic you probably have well water and vice versa.

[@JDickracing1962]

Is digging up the lid included in price of pumping

[@fionafifi7029]

Yes everything is included, gas, digging, workers pay, bosses pay, companys pay, truck maintenance, and sucking out the excrement. My bill was $400 last year

[@dennisveazey4469]
