- Опубликовано: 1 июл 2024
- Here's a step by step video of our complete septic system installation and cost in New Jersey. Luckily we were able to avoid installing an advanced treatment septic system and installed a relatively traditional system, other than the fact that we needed a septic tank, dosing tank, and pump. I hope you find this informative video helpful and enjoyable. Thank you for watching!

I bet Sam has done an awful lot of these and knows exactly what is needed. Looks like he's the man for the job.
100%! He's a pro!
I'm in a similar situation with a 60+-year-old system. I won't need to pump it uphill fortunately. I'm amazed it lasted this long.
Considering the cost of everything nowadays I don't ever see it becoming cheaper. Good for you getting in a new septic system! I just had to replace my roof and the price was painful but cheaper then a new car that needs replacing every few years.
Thanks. Now that it's done, I think it was not a bad deal in hindsight.
I’m glad you realize the work put into the project
Wow! Excellent overview about a modern septic system. Thank you for showing all the steps and what's involved.
Thanks Ross!
Excellent video, Ed! Here in MN we have to have our first (solids) tank pumped at least once every 3 years. The system will last 50-60 years if the solids tank is pumped out regularly. You did a great job explaining the system! Cheers!
Thanks Mike! We’re not required to pump regularly, but it’s a good idea.
Great job Ed! Very professional and quite informative! And your contractor choice was excellent! They learned from the best - their dad, and it looks like they learned it well!
Thank you, Gail! Glad you enjoyed it!
One of the few channels I instantly click on and thumbs up before even finishing the video.
Much appreciated!
My city sewer is $112 per month and goes up about 5% each year. Your $25k will pay off in the long run.
Damn! $112 Per month? That’s a lot.
Good job! Yes, you got your money's worth! AND they planted grass seed! wow!
Great video Ed showing the steps of way system works and built.
Thanks Bob!
Excellent video. Very educative. Took lot of notes. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Not new here but my first comment, I have the same set up as you BUT there is 3 tanks in my system. When I had our system put in 17 years ago it was set up for a 4 bedroom house so it is bigger than needed but we haven't had one single problem. You should be good forever!!! 👍
Hi Eric. Thanks for chiming in. 3 tanks!? Holy smokes!
How often do you have to pump it ?
Great informative video Ed. I can see what you mean about kind of overwhelming to edit and piece together. There was a ton of work done there and lots of material costs too. I can see why it was $25K
Thank you for taking me along for this video. Dan
Thanks Daniel!
Nice video, Ed. There's a lot of work involved in the process for sure! Even though it wasn't planned - I enjoyed seeing the old "traditional tractor" doing the work. :)
Thanks Chad. Yes neat to hear an old gasser!
This was really interesting and informative Ed, nice job. After watching this, I like your contractor and I've never actually met him! 👍
Thanks Chris. Yeah you can’t help but to really like and appreciate Sam!
Wow, this vlog was really good and informative to say the least...thank you for the time dedicated to this 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
It was. I never knew how a septic system worked. I thought it was just a tank that drained int the surrounding ground. I didn’t realize there was so much more involved
Lots of work for sure Ed, the system we put in at the Cay is definitely different than yours. We ended up with these big "infiltrators " 18" half moon things for flowing water through. Same as you though, I'm never going to have to touch it again! 🚜🌴👍🇨🇦🇺🇸 see you tomorrow! 19:00
Great video Ed. I like the narration format you chose to use. You had me laughing at 3:03 ... the contractors were all backed up, lol. Missed the live stream but will go back to watch it later this week. For some strange reason, this is a really interesting topic imo.
Thank you. And yes, I overlooked my own pun!!! I caught it while editing 🤣
Great video ED, I learned a lot. I see your birthday is coming up soon, happy early birthday.
Hey thanks Herb!
Great content, thank you for taking the time to record, document a post this Video.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Wow wee that seems like a big ouchie, but as you said, with all the equipment and essentials needed it wasn't so much. You could definitely see you had a professional. Awesome job Ed.
Thanks Dean! Lots of peace of mind now too. 👍
You got out of it cheap Ed! I paid $25K about 35 years ago when we built our house! Our soil is all clay under about 1.5 ft of top soil so they dug down about 6' until they hit the water table, had three large trash pumps running so as to keep digging several more feet. The pit is 30' x30'. The cellar floor was at the natural ground level so we could have a walkout cellar in the back of the house. The septic system is in the front yard. All the dirt taken out of the pit formed the mound that would be the front yard. I can't remember how many truckloads of sand were brought in to fill the pit that ended up being about 15 ft deep so we walk right out of our front door onto the lawn. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks, D! These systems are no joke. Especially compared to what we replaced from 1958. We did have thick green grass for many years though 🤣
You know why SAM's skid steer track Broke ? Cause he is taking 10-15K pay cut to do these Jobs ...SAD . can't afford to keep his equipment maintained . keep this up he will be out of business !
@michaelgrier3537 well I got multiple quotes and they were in line with one another.
Good Evening Sir, that is a big project for sure 😇👌👍Sir that is a investment for your property and you have made an OUTSTANDING videos Cheers 👍👍👌👌😇😇🍻🍻
Thanks David!
It really neat setup..I have a mound system..septic tank is right outside house then liquid tank is right next to mound..I had to take hydraulic cement n fill the round parts of tank cuz ground water was runnin in too…fun times n since owning this home I’ve learned a lot …living of the land😉
The joys of home ownership!
@@MyClutteredGarage that’s is a fact but I enjoy every min of it…sad thing is…5 yrs ago we when we bought it we had to have house lifted n new basement walls poured..at that time it was gutted from 1960 galvanized pipes bein clogged ect..house has new everything..wiring ,insulation,sheet rock ..hvac…appliances..fast forward to now…we are to close in Feb on deal with Fleet Farm n house is bein knocked down …
Great video and it was very interesting, thanks. It is also good timing as we will need to do something with our system too. As you would expect the rules are very different over here and I do not think (still looking into it) that the system you installed can be used over here now and we have to have some form of treatment system before the outfall goes into a soakaway
We’ve been watching Carlson’s Farm. If they are not exaggerating, you are definitely more regulated than we are. It would be interesting to see the differences in systems.
Lots of work there Ed. I did notice you felt a bit left out and got the Deere in the mix! Now you can check off that crappy job take care of!
You got that right! 🤣
Thanks Ed. Great video very informative. Makes me happy that we have city sewer lines. 30 years ago we were paying $90 every 3 months, today we pay $118. $472 a year is alot better then replacing a septic system.
Thanks Dennis. There were plenty of times I would have like to have public sewer. Especially while writing the check! 🤣
Awesome
damn that looks expensive. Here is Florida they just dig a few trenches and done. $25k was cheap for all that.
Can you recommend the company that did the work for a quote?
That’s a pretty extensive system, If you only had a backhoe. 😳
*Keep on tractoring!*
I’d like to have the excavator for a few weeks. 😄
Sam & Family are hard workers /& A well like family 💯 Frog Hollow farm 👍🏻
Thanks Curt. You are right! Are you nearby?
Heyhey Ed Just curious what happens if you skipped all the permits and stuff and just did it? I know here I have done a couple septic systems without permits or license and the only thing was if I sold the property it had to pass the inspection. They do strongly encourage to get permits but nobody knocks on your door if you don't
Take care
Hey Mike. I suppose we could sneak in a fix, but you’re right. If we went to sell there could be problems. The county and state are really cracking down on septic systems. Oh and anyone saw us, someone WOULD come knocking. 😄
How would you recommend repairing or getting rid of a leech bed that is basically just an eyesore cesspool swamp? Can't run a riding mower over the area it's covered anymore, and I'm gonna need to have installed this same septic system with a dosing tank & pump, as it stands right now we have only a single septic tank and that's it, so I'm probably gonna have the septic tank replaced as well.
I would think that old drain field will dry up when you install the new system and stop using it.
Do you know the perc rate where the leach field was installed? I had a special system put in recently but I have a decent perc rate of 60 min/in.
Hi, I did not receive that info.
Septic system contractors were "backed up". Toilet jokes.
🤣🤣🤣
My mother’s old house was built in the 1950’s. It was originally a Farm home. The owner put in a cesspool that holds over 1,000 gallons probably sometime after the 1960’s. It still works great. But I’ve been considering having a septic tank installed. But if it isn’t broke why fix it mentality keeps sinking in. $25k isn’t cheap but in the long run it isn’t expensive. Any thoughts people?
Ours was built in 1958. If you ever sell, you'll need to update it. We weren't planning to sell, but wanted to update the system even though we could have gotten by. Turns out, the farm opportunity came up and we sold the house. The new septic made it an easy quick sale!
@@MyClutteredGarage I don’t believe I’m gonna sell this home. I def can’t predict the future. But, I think for now I shall wait. If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it!
we had ours done a few years ago we're in S. jersey it was 20k, the amount of clay was ridicules they had to dig 35 feet to get off it
This is clay area for sure! Yet not too far away, there is sand and gravel.
What happens if the filter gets clogged? Do you have to take it out and clean it?
Yes you’re supposed to take it out annually and hose off any paper or small debris.
Great video sir. I have have a system put in and wanted to know if I can have the information for Sam's company please and thank you
Hi. Sam only works in the Salem County NJ area. Please email me if you’re local at contactmcgtv@gmail.com. Thank you.
Ahh I see. Yes that's would be a 3 hour drive im located in orange county NY
@@dr.richardnixon7125 good luck to you. Ask some well respected plumbers or builders for recommendations.
Do you mind share who did your system? I’m looking for someone to do mine in south jersey also. Thank you
Hi. Sam only works in the Cumberland, Gloucester, Salem area.
Yeap you will appreciate that second tank capacity if you have a failure with the pump.
Would you be able to share who youused? I am in central NJ and we can not find a contractor who is reliable and/or knows what they are doing.
That’s unfortunate. Sam only works in south Jersey. You should ask some trusted contractors or plumbers for a referral. Good luck!
a good trackhoe operator is smooth and wastes no motion, wastes no time. this gent is excellent..........uphill systems are prone to problems beware,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, why didn't the septic delivery guy put the tanks in the hole? ours do.... the tank only pumps 200 gallons due to absorption by the field
Thank you. I guess Sam likes to set his own tanks. What kind of problems are uphill systems prone to?
Great video, is it possible to get the contracto’s contact info? I live in Lindenwold and need a new system installed too, thanks
Hi. I'm not sure if he works there. Please email me at contactmcgtv@gmaiil.com.
Cost about $25,000. Details @19:50
Can you share Sam’s information?
Thanks, but all that permitting and design, not to mention pumping uphill in NJ, just not relevant for me in rural E. Texas out in the woods. Haven’t gotten to end, the cost of all that scares me. Your system must handle 20 folks living there, a small army.
Holy Batman, $25k. I’m somewhat shocked, but get it with all the details, materials brought in, equipment used and size. I guess you choice was hold your nose and fix it, once and for all
Hi Scott. I would think you’d have a similar system, minus the 2nd tank and the pump of you can gravity feed. Believe it or not, this system was only designed for a 3 bedroom house. 😳
Thanks for checking in! -Ed
@myclutteredgarage do you mind sharing the contractor's information. I have a project in Central New Jersey.
Hi. He only works locally. Good luck finding someone in your area. Maybe ask a trusted plumber for a referral.
So the “liquid” that is pumped into the leach field is basically poop and pee water. Doesn’t this contaminate your well water?
That’s why there is a minimum distance requirement between the septic and the well. Plus our well is 340 feet deep, so I guess the ground acts as a giant filter.
@@MyClutteredGarage I see, so the septic should always be put in first
@@markusr1308 probably so since there are more limitations on its location unless you have a property with great soil.
Your contractor looks like hes the one who gets the dirtiest! lol His workers look like they are dressed for church on Sunday. Contractor has got it going on with all of his backups. Ouch on that price man! Hope you never have any problems with that system.
He’s not afraid of work. And believe it or not, he’s over 60!
They are great at what they do but the problem I have is I bet their wasn’t 5000 in parts )pay the guys a wage the rest is profit they have you over a barrel most people can’t do it just like hvac most systems are under 3000 and they charge you 12000
You’re probably right about the cost of materials, but you’re also paying for skill, experience, and the cost of equipment. There was probably $300,000 worth of equipment on this job, so it takes time to pay for that. 👍
The digger driver sure did'n't mess around slapping those bucket rams ! Not a competent operator
wow. i have one corrugated tube running to a hump. this makes my setup look like a porta potty.
I only WISH that’s all we needed 😄
Woh hoho woh pump the brake they are septic designers not engineers don't getem thinking they are spacial k bad idea all around
Well we hired a civil engineer to design the system. 👍
