Not So Pro 3

Knocking on wood.
Ours has been good since we bought the place in 03.
Tank hasnt been pumped.
Bad sign when you have to have that done.
It means you have other problems.
As in drain field isnt doing what its supposed to.

Actually, depending on the family size, you should have it pumped every 2-4 years to keep from having problems. Unrelated to tree roots of course. Over time the byproduct of the process fills the tank with solids. Once they get deep enough to flow into your drain field, that's when your trouble will begin as it pluggs the holes in the pipes of said drain field.

In other words....the tank gets full of chit. And the last thing you want is for that chit to wind up in the leach field. Cause that makes for all sorts of *s-wordty problems.

How's wounds healing bro? Surgical, not taco induced in case there's doubt.

Yes. If "water" flows back from the drain field when they pump out the tank, you already have damage. Ours was new in 95. Pumped every 3 years. Guy says its textbook perfect and keep it up. My parents never pumped unless backed up. They always had trouble. There place is next to mine. Part of that was also the water table. We had to put an above ground as the rules changed. We opted to have the entire house put 5' above grade to eliminate the need for a pump station to lift up to the tank. Power outage don't effect gravity lol.

I'm good. Stitches out last Friday. Found i have an allergy to something called Mastisol. Its something they paint on you then stick the surgical tape to the treated area. Its to keep the alcohol from softening the adhesive. Anyway it basically chem burned me. Blisters, itching ect. Warning, TMI sharing in 3-2-1....

This was far worse than this surgery. Its in my chart now fir them not to use it.

Bury about 3 old demo cars at the end of your leach field lines!

We never really had any problems till we got those 9 inches of rain one night on top of an already unusually wet winter. The leach field just wasn't able to absorb any more water.

Digging deep enough for that would require some explosives. About 3' of dirt before you hit solid rock here.

That was the parents problem often as well. Saturated ground.
