Good Morning Folks, another week of clogs, backups, and systems needing attention… Preventative Maintenance while is an expense, is WAY CHEAPER than total replacement. The attached video is a 31 year old system, current home owner purchased in last 5 years, has required pumping at least once, however the other company that pumped it, did NOT dig up the and pump the Outlet chamber of the dual chamber tank… When we cleared the TP Clog in the Inlet, I noticed Effluent level was staying up in the Inlet… This is a sign the Leachfield is not taking the Effluent/Water… We proceeded to dig the Outlet Chamber and found it was really bad… notified the home owner of the situation and pumped the tank free of all material in both chambers… Tank was in good shape, installed new Effluent Filter, but I don’t know if the Leachfield will recover or if too much damage has already occurred… Time will tell, SludgeHammer might be a good solution, or New Leachfield might be in this systems near future… HOPEFULLY cleaning the tank and removing as much solids from the Outlet Baffle/pvc , hopefully the field will recover…
This home has 7 folks… by Texas A&M study of how often a system should be pumped by number of people, 7 folks on 1000 gal tank, system should be pumped every 1.2 years… SO this system was behind recommendations/schedule for service… Obviously it needed help…
