I have to thank you. I am on a septic system and had basically forgotten to have it pumped for 10 years or so. Watching your channel made me realize I REALLY needed to get it dealt with before it got truly expensive. Lucky for me I knew exactly where the tanks were so dug them up (18" deep so not too bad a dig) and yeah, the solid side was.. solid. The liquid side wasn't too bad and using some 3/4 sprinkler pipe the bottom was 2' (ish) of sludge. Got on the phone and had the local guys get it done. Good to go for the next 3 years or so. Thank you and best of luck to all the pumpers out there, underappreciated but necessary!
I have lived in central TX most of my life and still dont understand why people have to have lawns. I have seen a lot of lawns of St. Augustin grass, which required a lot of water. Xerra scaping or natural plants handle our heat/drought better, and they are a whole lot less maintenance from what I have experienced. Either way, keep pumping and making that money!
Might not need a new leach field. You may be putting more water into the system than it's designed to handle. Check for leaks, like running terlits, dropping faucets, slow leak water lines, too much rain, etc.
Single compartment tanks have 1 lid, dual compartment tanks have 2 lids (inlet, outlet), and aerobic usually 3 or more lids. It's also possible to have more than one tank and tank type - lots more lids.
Is there EVER a situation where running the septic into a creek bed is allowed??? I'm asking because I know a situation that's taking place right now AAAAAAND this sounds very hinky
Hey i got a question. You probably dont usually mess with this but the pump that feeds the sprinklers on our aerobic system has gone out. Well not the pump itself, but the head of the pump that actually contains the impeller stack. I think it might be called a wet end? Not sure if thats right, but anyway, just wondering where i could buy just the head? The impellers are burned up and the pump itself works fine. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. Its a bruiser 12sb0521 pump. A rebuild kit would be even cooler. 😁

Im taking a job servicing pump trucks. So I'll be turning wrenches and smelling like money.
You guys rock!
Wish I had a septic system just to give you business. You're awesome!
You can always thank him with a YT channel donation. 😊
@@jbsimmons54it doesnt works for every single country my man 😞

I saw the crust buster!!!! Smells like money!!
Hello my friend! Hope you are having a very good day!!
Very educational thank you!!!
Great information thank you keep up the great work
Hey have you ever pumped out a camp sight like koa or those camp out houses
Great information and a great video.
I liked the video 🎉❤
Me too, keep the videos coming, Mmmmm,
Looks like dodo! God bless
My septic tank died after watching lmao. Just had it pumped 4 weeks ago and now it's full to the top and all the stuff is backing up.
Your drain field is failing. It's back filling back into the septic tank. You need a new drain field or maybe even worse, an entire septic system.
@@kingdong311 I hope I die
Just add a leach field next to the existing clogged drain field.
your SOL at this point get the best price for a new system or a price to repair your old system Neither one will be cheap

Stay safe in this heat. More heat is coming! To be clear, Im a Michigander, just aware of how bad it is down there because it isn't great here either
Thoughts on the ccls septic tank treatment?
I have a 35 year old gravity system. no filter on outlet pipe to drain field. should I install one? new home to me.
IMO, yes! If you can, do periodic maintenance and rinse the filter off yourself. Saves headaches and $.
In my 20 years I pumped a total of ONE syphon dosing system. Ever see one of those?
I was hesitant about the lime cucumber, but its definitely the best
The magic word!! "Effluent". Not dirty but not clean. Effluent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you need to relearn what that word means
effluent is definitely not dirty an not clean it’s your shit
It's shirt water very dirty 😊
It’s better then inffluent. lol
That constant stream from the inlet was ringing alarm bells for me. Edited typo😢
Cool 🥰
Hey man! I just dug out the lid of my septic tank but im not sure which way the second lid is or does it even have a second one. Any tips?
Single compartment tanks have 1 lid, dual compartment tanks have 2 lids (inlet, outlet), and aerobic usually 3 or more lids. It's also possible to have more than one tank and tank type - lots more lids.
I'm pretty sure this has been explained before. But what type of septic system would you recommend???? Thanks
Is there EVER a situation where running the septic into a creek bed is allowed??? I'm asking because I know a situation that's taking place right now AAAAAAND this sounds very hinky
No, unless you are allowed am emergency discharge by your local EPA, and govt authorities. A permit is required, as well as periodic inspections.
@@jbsimmons54 hmmmmm some how I seriously DOUBT they got that.

10:10 whoa, Americans are built different. Every Europeans blood would be boiling at this point 😂💀
I think its called a vault toilet
I love your videos ❤
How often do the pumps get air bound after leaving the pump chamber empty? They don't all have weep holes?
Love your videos, and your music choices and just sent you a Pokemon GO invite ... name is similar to my gmail id :-)
