Just as a bit of foreign information. The two chamber tanks are not allowed i Sweden anymore. We use three chamber tanks. Most common is round tanks where the first chamber is 1/2 the volume and the second and third chambers is 1/4 each. The walls between the chambers does only go a bit higher than the outlet to the drain field. This makes it possible to look down into all three chambers from the lid. Also the lid can not be covered with soil and the tanks are emptied every 12 months if it is a residential home.
I'm selling my home. My dad passed and I have no idea when he pumped it last. Potential owner came out and opened it. He used to clean septic tanks. There's a hard crust he poked a hole through and I can see sludge. It doesn't look hard. Just like thick mud. Pretty sure it needs pumping. My neighbor had his pumped two years ago and it was nearly full. It doesn't appear to be overflowing but I can only see down the hole of the too crust. I'm thinking it is dried up laundry soap.. love your videos!
Corn 🌽 there’s always corn 🌽. Dominick here’s a RUclips channel from down under in Sydney,Australia called “Drain Addict” his name is Oliver but everyone calls him Ollie. And one from New York called “N Y Drains” his name is Donald I just call him Don. Thought you might want to see.
Have you ever encountered customers with septic smells coming out from the pipes on the roofs? Every time I use a sink or showers, the pipes emit all the odor for a while after pouring water down the drain. Could a trap stop that smell before the septic tank?
I would check the following 1) P-Traps 2) possible clogged vent pipe If all else fails have someone run a smoke test to see exactly where the smell is coming from
@@PoorPumperSociety so I got my vape and opened the clean out and the smoke came out clearly on the roof vent when I blew smoke in the clean out. Almost like if it was siphoning air. It’s really fkn weird.
The filters are ok but don't stop the fines, they only stop 1/16 inch or larger. Cutting water usage as much as possible to max settling time will really help the most to preserve drain field.
I have question ❓.....Do you get clean your tools everyday like chemical cleaned for removing any kind of bacteria that might stick around to your tools and also where do usually go the things you suck out in septic tank like where you guys put or clean out the tanker inside of it i'm just curious where everything is go....
Wish you were in Ohio we are moving into a new home. That's been sitting a long time. An I don't know when was the last time the septic tanks been cleaned.
The house next to mine has a septic tank. I used to live there. But there is NO filter on the outlet..... So is that a concern?? Also the home is vacant right now as recently sustained fire damadge from a trailor catching fire next to it. Idk how long it will be vacant for.

Yes I’m stll hvn problems, wish yll was located whr I am…..!!
Hi good day I live in Florida and I have a septic tank system I recently purchased the house less than a year ago and the drain field was replaced in 2020. Now the water is backing up just like you were talking about and it is not coming out of the outlet to go inside of the tank, so what we had to do was take the cap off the pipe that's behind the house so that the water would not back up inside the bathrooms anymore. I have called the Septic company and they're giving me the runaround what do you suggest I do to get the lines cleared from the house to the tank. Yes I have already tried snaking the drain and that did not help.
I hate customers dogs. They leave their dogs out there to keep barking instead of putting them Inside. I deliver propane and man it’s one of my biggest pet peeves of my job is dogs!
hi, what could be the cause of that filter clogging just months after it was pumped? mine clogged and i got water back into my basement. not a good time lol.
I lived 25 years with 4 children but only using Scott's toilet paper and putting butter milk down my drain once a month and we had it pumped before we moved and they could not believe that there was no solids in the bottom just a little water in the bottom.
My daughter moved into a home in October with a septic tank attached to the home ,her family seems to be getting sick more than usual could it be due to the septic tank.
Smells like money haha I love that
👃💩💰
Dude I don't think I would ever want to borrow your phone to make a call. Lol
😂😂😂
That phone definitely needs a condom for use !
Haha, I hope he has a work one and a home one!
Oops I accidentally spent 3 hours straight watching your channel. I didn't realize how much I want to know about septic tanks and their relatives
Nice to see someone else living the dream and filming it 🤘🏻👍🏻
Dog was just barking just to bark fr. I mean come on 😂

And my builders still have not come back to check what’s wrong 🤦🏻♂️
In Bell CO Texas if your conventional septic system fails, you have to install an aerobic system. $$$.
Smooth(ie) music brother.

Am I the only one who thought that was a shotgun or something similar in the thumbnail? Lol
Idk why but I have found my satisfaction

Our customers sign a paper saying they pay for the tow truck if they want us to drive on the yard to try and save cost

Wondering if you know what the little,what looks like pine needles IS FLOATING IN TANK? WAS TO TO MUCH BACTERIA.
Wish you were in Ohio we are moving into a new home. That's been sitting a long time. An I don't know when was the last time the septic tanks been cleaned.
How long do jobs like this normally take?
In and out in about 45 minute. If we have to locate and dig it’ll take longer and cost more
That's cool. How many calls do you get in 1 week?
Whats the music at the beginning?
Also, have you ever dropped your phone or anything else in a septic tank?
you play Pokemon go
Yup. I usually go to Austin for community days, and I’ll be at Go Fest in Seattle July 22-24
When did affluent filters start being installed into cement septic tanks?
What happens if you don’t have enough hose and can’t drive on yard ?

I have a shower drain that’s running slow, our tank has just been cleaned. What do you think it could be??
Do you have to always pump your septic In order to clean your effluent filter? Also, what would be the best way to find the lids

5 months and no reply? 🫢 I better take back my question
Do you charge extra if you have to dig the lids up?
added you on my 3 accounts :P

Hey what do I do if my toilet bubbles?
hi, what could be the cause of that filter clogging just months after it was pumped? mine clogged and i got water back into my basement. not a good time lol.
Filters are suppose to be pulled and cleaned every 3 months for the best
I lived 25 years with 4 children but only using Scott's toilet paper and putting butter milk down my drain once a month and we had it pumped before we moved and they could not believe that there was no solids in the bottom just a little water in the bottom.
I'm curious, have you or any of your helpers ever got sick after you started pumping? Not from the bacteria, but from the sights and smells?
My daughter moved into a home in October with a septic tank attached to the home ,her family seems to be getting sick more than usual could it be due to the septic tank.
Not likely, probably mold spores in the walls.
Have you ever dropped your phone into the tank when taking videos/pictures?
Added you to my pogo I am ratbag359 from New Zealand.
I’ll be sure to add. Just did a Mega Altaria Raid with a new friend not long ago. It didn’t stand a chance 😈
