PROBLEMS ALREADY! How To Replace Septic Distribution Box.

Along with purchasing this property, we acquired all the problems that came with it. The septic system is a very important part of a functioning home. So I got the tank pumped and looked over the system. There are two issues... the distribution box is deteriorating and the leach field is seeping up due to hydraulic pressure. It may just need some healthy bacteria introduced to clean up the drain bed. Hopefully this video will help you with any septic issues you might be having.

I’m a septic inspector. It could be leeching up in the yard because that finger was getting all the water. Like you said, they weren’t all getting the water. So that one finger could be over saturated. Close of that one finger for a month or two. Let it dry out. Then rotate the cap back so it accepts water

I had to test my septic out while watching this great video. Man you're a handy man of all trades. Happy to start seeing some videos again. Thanks Kyle and Spicer family for the great video. Cheers.

If your effluent is seeping to the surface it means your leach bed is not accepting the water. It's either saturated because the soil cannot accept the water anymore (its past its life span or it was put in a bad spot to begin with) or you've had solids make their way to the field clogging the holes in the leach pipes and/or the passages in the gravel trenches. You will ultimately have to abandon that line and add another at some point in time. I would suggest removing anything from going into your septic that doesn't absolutely need to go in there (water softener discharge, laundry, etc...). A grey water system is a good idea, or find a hill and pipe your grey water to it.

God dang I have missed you guys! The new place looks absolutely killer!

I put a lid on our tank 2 years ago. Now it only cost $100.00 to get it pumped. I just got to find the distribution box. Looks like rain all weekend, maybe next week.

That D Box looks really deep. We install septic systems in Kentucky and our D box’s have to be kept shallow for the lateral lines to work properly. Maybe a difference between Kentucky and Indiana. Great video

You should have run a Baby Ruth into the box😂😂😂

[@chasstan]

Appreciate you making video. Wasn't sure on the distribution box on AMZN. Looks like it's gtg

[@stevenandkimmetzger880]

My concrete D box is on the way out, not quite as bad as yours yet. Glad to see that it's not going to be the terrible job I thought it might be. Great video and you've got a new subscriber!

[@12341walkman]

For being you hadn't done that before you sure made it look like you have. Great video as always.

[@localcrew]

I’m getting ready to expand my leach field. Going to be doing all this. Great video. Just subscribed!

I wonder how soon we’ll be watching a “I got a backhoe for my tractor” video? 😂

[@roberttoomey1755]

Nice work 👍

[@MultiShermanater]

I think you did good! I like the bloopers!

[@johnspoon923]

I had same issue. Just needed more topsoil over a couple of the lines. Great video on a crappy subject.

My probe is short and fat, like a tuna fish can...It's like sticking a marshmello in a piggy bank. Sorry had to leave the joke since you asked LOL
