Its amazing that you were able to give the beauty of the gospel message in the middle of dealing with a septic tank. I should start a RUclips channel and put gospel messages in it. Thank you thought I was only going to figure out my leech bed issue, now you gave me an idea on how to witness as well! Thank you!
Wow a gospel presentation in the middle!!!! You are the man! Lets include Jesus in EVERYTHING!!! :)
Wow. This help. Literal tears thank you for understanding we cannot always afford repairs this is such a blessing to others.
Dealing with this at my daughter's house. Thank you for your help and your testimony!!
How has this worked for you?
I really needed to hear some soul saving words. God bless you!
I sincerely appreciate your show of faith.
As you said its not just saying the words , but opening up to offer of peace and eternity.
No $$s involved for those out there that thinks thats what this is about . $$s nor actions will suffice, only giving over to Jesus your thanks and and receiving his gift . No mankind involved , no money
involved , it will change your life .
This is the best video on the subject I've found thank you so much
Excellent work sir. Thank you.
I’m gonna burn for eternity but I really appreciate the video and the kind words. Great info. If you want to pray for my salvation I appreciate it. I’ve just never been able to wrap my mind around it.
Thanks for the nice comment. Understand we all have done things in our past that we are not real proud of for the bible says, "for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". Jesus knew that neither you or I could live a life good enough to earn our right standing with God so that is why he laid down his life on the cross taking the punishment for your sin and mine. Salvation is a free gift there for the taking. I will be praying for you. I would encourage you to pray, "God if you are real and out there show yourself to me in a practical way." He will answer that prayer!!!
Praying for you and everyone in the same place you are. I ask that you not think so much about "Burning for eternity" but instead think of how much better it is to live as God's obedient child. He provides us with all we need and He guides our efforts and blesses us when we seek His will. I believed my whole life but only lived as His obedient child for the last 10 years. And I am actually still working on the obedient part. I will be 60 years old in August so you see that some of us take a long time. He understands and He judges righteously. I hope this comment gives you good thoughts about the matter.
Was pleasantly surprised to hear the Gospel in this video. Amen, brother!
Same!
Me too.
I though it was an embedded commercial for the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) until I figured it was just him pumping for Jesus. Same difference I suppose, all looking for cash carrying sinners to fill the seats.
@@rickdees251 No Rick you are wrong.
He is trying to keep people from going to Hell not looking for money and you had better heed his advice because you will stand before God and if you did not trust in Jesus as your savior then I would not trade places with you for Bill Gates money.
@@rickdees251 that is an interesting strategy: go for the money by reaching out to people who can’t afford to pay for septic repairs.
This guy knew that he was going to receive a lot of negative responses to his presentation of the Gospel, and yet he cares enough about the people who would be saying bad things about him, to make an appeal for their soul. I pray that someday God will remove your heart of stone and bless you with a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26).
Fantastic! The most useful end comprehensive video how to fix the septic system. Good bless you!
Very informative . Thanks for making and posting.
Thank you so much for the practical and spiritual wisdom
Fabulous succinct advice and great design feature rationale/guidance - All made perfect sense too unlike most others - Thanks so much for all your hard work to create this video and for sharing this with those of us who really cant afford to just ring a contractor to make the pain go away! 🙂 God bless you brother!
This was very helpful and I really appreciate the message of hope in the video. God bless you!
Trying this myself soon. Thanks a lot
This is the best! Thank you for this video!
Thank you for taking the time to make this informative video, very helpful info! I’m dealing with my leach field this week. Also I was pleasantly surprised to hear the Lords message too! Thank you!
Thank you brother, only wish I had money to fix mine!
LIKE YOUR PENCIL 🤗
Thanks for your video
Very informative thank you very much!
May God bless you real good for sharing your faith and the septic info.
Thank you for sharing the good news!!!
thank you for sharing
Excellent dual purpose video! Thank you for sharing the Gospel!
This was helpful. Thank you brother. MOST IMPORTANTLY, thank you for being a doer of the Word of God and not just a hearer. That was awesome of you to take a moment to evangelize for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I wish there were more out there who did this. Jesus bless you.
Great Tutorial Brother!!!
Great video!!!
Great job!!!
Wasn't expecting preaching in a very informative video of an issue im facing but Was pleasantly surprised, God bless you mate, from Melbourne Australia! 😊👍
Thanks, that is so cool someone so far away got the video. Thanks for commenting.
God bless you & your family brother. Great video my dad & I are working on our septic / leech field this memorial day weekend
How has this worked for you?
Thanks. Good info; fast-forwarded through the proselytizing. To each his own.
Thank you, appreciate your explanation. New Sub. God talk was unexpected bonus.
Thank you for this video i give it five stars
Thanks for the comment.
Thankyou brother, God bless you for sharing the gospel, 🙏😇
Thanks great info !!!!
Thank you for this video, I have been saying this for the past 8 plus yrs, my home is only 14 yrs old & djainfield replaced twice & failed AGAIN! My lot was originally in a flood zone, & builder had it “ changed” so he could build. Yard was not excavated correctly, can’t keep going thru this, ( terminally ill) . Also believe in gravel over those stupid domes, BUT septic company keep saying it was the BEST! Definitely going todo this, THANK YOU, I worked for a builder yrs ago in another state, & NEVER installed dome systems, thank you , now I know I am not crazy.
Great, glad it helped. Interestingly all the septic systems I spoke about in the video are ones I have been responsible for for the last 20 +/- years so my suggestion aren't just things I have done and walked away from but rather systems that if there was a problem over the last 20 years I would have gotten a phone call.
Thank you for everything
Thank you brother
Great teaching video. And what a wonderful message in there too. Thank you.
Great video
Great advice to dig manually.
It's nice watching a video from a professional that actually knows what they are doing. I'm searching high and low for a true curtain drain video. there's a hill the bottoms to where my drainfield is supposed to be. I need to lower the water table due to poor soils and a clay underbed a few feet down. I need to block the water and divert it. Doesn't seem like anyone knows what a curtain drain is vs a french drain. thanks I learned a lot here. god bless
Thanks for the video. I am installing a small septic tank for a small cabin i am building and what you showed in this video will be sufficient for what i need. Thank you and God Bless,
Amen brother. Thanks. I got motivated to just man up and shovel about 40 ft myself with out machinery. But I'll have my father in-law use his tractor to lay in the gravel for me.
Ahhh good old easy Florida soil. I now live in clay ridden VA.
Thanks brother
So I didn’t expect to get a quick sermon in a septic tank video. But it made me go ahead and hit the like button, I love seeing a fellow Christian being open about it online. Looking forward to meeting you in heaven one day 😉
Thanks for the comment and encouragement.
Thank you and Amen
Love this. Be bless.
Thank you sir
Preach it brother, may GOD bless you and your family.
hi,thanks for sharing. I have a small question here. What is the type of fabric covering the drain field (above the gravel and pipes) and do I need to put some wood mulch on the fabric?
Good video explainer and testimony. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
We need more of this…
Thanks brother great great information. With the added bonus of the word of the Lord, perfect timing by the way. God bless brother 🙏
What a great video! Thank you!! God bless you!
Great video! Salvation for our septic and soul in one shot!
Im from New Zealand and Was stressing over my septic, then I hear the gospel, it put a big smile on me thanks.
Thanks so much for the video. I have to do this we have big problems septic backing up as we have added 2 people to our home. Thanks also for sharing the gospel with people on your channel.
God bless you brother, thank you for the help.
God bless you
Great video.
Best part was that you gave the Gospel. FAITH + NOTHING.
Inside the tank there should be "T" on inlet and outlets with a dip pipe about 14" , this prevent solids from backing to plug line from house, and keeps floating solids from going out to field lines and plugging them. Top of the "T" s should be open and 2" below top of tank so gases can escape, and the waste water can flow. If the 'T' is missing replace it that will help prevent plugging field distribution perforated lines.
Thank you for the video I think it was awesome how you included the eternal life portion in the middle and end that was great thank you for the information too
Thanks for sharing the word...
Thank you for the info on rebuilding drain field and greatly appreciate the spiritual message over conventional advertisements. This the first video that I have seen like that. I'm now a subscriber. GOD bless you!
Question.If the drain field is full and it’s coming up above ground at the end can you fill a huge hole with gravel and allow the drain field drain into the hole?
I love the Eternal Repair part. Well done. Youth pastor from GA.
Thanks for this video! Great work. Just curious if the Soil Separator you installed covers the bottom of the trench as well or just the sides? Just wondering if that should remain open for percolation
I put it on the bottom also.
Nice job but, where we live in NJ shale shelf, big rocks leech field stop draining coming up down the driveway.
Thanks for the idea brother.This should save my septic system.Thankfully my soul is already saved.
Hi quick question, would this work in states with cold weather or the water/ waste would freeze inside the pipe? Please help anybody, and God bless
Great message in the breaks. Thanks!
Amen brother 🙏
Wow!!! Awesome brother God bless you!!!! But I still have septic trouble 😁lol
God bless you sir......everywhere I go there he is lol
Thank you for the spiritual message
Thank you,,,, 🙏🏻❤️✌🏼
Wow, thanks for the word. I needed some help with my septic issue, and then I heard the message. I really needed that message. Also your septic video was the best advice. Thank you and God bless you.
Amen brother
The video includes everything. Excellent! And best of all my Brother, You will get paid big time for the folks that you win! Nice job!
Thank you so much for your service, and doing Gods work. Getting my septic cleaned out, and being told my drain field may be permanently damaged brought me to your channel. I cant afford to do this. Please pray for me and put me on a prayer chain
God has nothing to do with septic systems.😅
@@raybin6873 Maybe so, but God can bless me with people or money to get the job done
@@raybin6873 God has control over all....not just parts
Clean the tank every 3-5 years, and you'll never have a problem.
Must be nice not to have any rock! That probe would bend in my ground! Thanks for doing this Video, a great help for a lot of people. What would you do for septic tank back-flooding? i.e. run off and ground water infiltration from leach field or through the seems of the tank.
Yep, compacted 8-10” of 1-2” smooth gravel to dig through. Sometimes seemed more like chipping off of an boulder…..
@@brandonclay6933 I put in a back flow valve to the drain field and sealed around the lid and outlet pipe. Seems to be working.
How long should this new pipe be?
What if you have pooling of water on the grass between the toilet and the septic tank? ( according to your drawing)
how deep did you dig
or is the deeper the better?
Awesome eternal message!
Hi there! Awesome information! Would this fix work in an area that has high water tables, for instance during winter heavy rains my sitting water level is about 10-12 inches below ground. The current gravity system has worked for 50 years but has been very slow lately. Thanks and God bless!!!
A sitting water level that high is certainly a challenge. Perhaps if you try a fix like this you should go more horizontal with your rock bed rather the deep. This might allow more discharge water to disburse above your water table.
how tight does the joint you made to t-off the additional pipe need to be to keep roots out over time?
Hi Phil, Thanks for the comment. The connection should be water tight by using either pvc glue or a rubber union with clamps.
WOW that is the coolest thing that you Shared the wonders of redemption in your commercial break. It gave me pause to ask myself how I can do the same in some manner. How creative.
Good evening. Awesome video and something I’m going to try really soon. The only thing I missed was the part where the T is installed in the line between my current drain field and septic tank. Is there anything special needed to do this part?
Use a 4 inch rubber union with hose clamps which can be purchased at home depot or Lowes. You can glue one side of the T to the pipe you cut out and the other side of the T if you glue a short piece of sewer pipe into it and slide the rubber union over it then once you put the T in place slide the rubber union into position over both ends of the sewer pipe and tighten the clamps
Ty for doing these videos, I got a couple ?’s for you, I pray you answer. Do you use perforated pipe or solid pipe, what size pipe do you use? Should you cap off the ends so tree roots can’t climb up the pipe?
That pipe is perforated. I believe you can buy them at Lowe's or Home Depot. If not, just buy a 3 or 4 inch pipe and drill a bunch of holes in it. The size of the pipe depends on the size of the exit pipe from the septic tank. I don't think the pipe size matters as long as it's 2.5+ inches in diameter. The pipe he is using looks to be about 3-3.5"? And yes, cap off the end of the pipe that way nothing grows in it and you can extend the pipe in the future if you ever have any problems.
Thanks for the advice and thank you for sharing the message of salvation!
I have faith.. 💜
Thanks for the video, I plan on starting my trench tomorrow. Maybe I missed it but did you put gravel on top of the pipe also or just cloth and dirt? Thanks
I did have some gravel on top of the pipe. Probably best to have minimal elevation drop from the tank exit pipe to the drain field pipe.
Best idea I've seen yet, and thanks for sharing Christ!!
Glad you liked it!
I very much Enjoyed you talking about God instead of a Ad,
Keep on shearing about Christ! 🙏
I appreciate the video I’m .doing 20 feet of pipe. How many feet of rock underneath the pipe would you recommend
Did you do it? I will be doing mine tomorrow.
@@kelvinfeliciano Still going strong a year later.Every now and then I look at the Tee to see the health of the drain field .Im happy with the results.
@@johnrobert2074 I did mine... 40 feet 8 tons of #4 rca added a baffle to the septic with it affluent filter. Added a T for cleanup etc.
Just had my septic pumped, full to the rim, week later about 10 feet north of my septic location I have water pushing out from the ground every flush of the toilet. This is also following a heavy rain. Any thoughts?
Biomat buildup or solids in trenches
