Don't know anything about the fields, we have a holding tank system. 5,000 gallons costs us $250 to have pumped out. Disposal fees have gone way up in the last two years. How often do you have that one pumped ? 8-10 weeks. Its just the wife and I, and we are pretty strict when it comes to water usage.

We are too close to a creek for a mound system, not that those things are any better in the lung run. We had a metal one at the old house, it had a few holes. If it was dry, there was no real problem. Once it started raining, that baby filled up fast. I am NOT paying to pump out rainwater.

I just had the Septic Pumped and he said
Some minor roots cut all the volunteer elm, boxelder and Sumac around the drainfield.
Tell the kids no more " Flushable wet wipes"
Insta Flow or any products are FAKE News
yeast products don't help
?????????,????????????.
$295.00 pump Sounds like good advice.
Eh...wot?

do you have your shower and washing machine re-routed to go out as ground water at least for the non frozen months?
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

My tank was put in in 1989. Have not pumped it yet. No wet wipes ever and single ply toilet paper. No fake beneficials added either.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Those are some pretty expensive pumps! The local drunk here was pumping for $75 for the longest time. But I don’t like him so I pay $120 from another outfit from another town.
They try to convince me it should get pumped once a year, but they can suck it. I call every 3 years to get my tank pumped.
Cold as ice!
