Not that long ago I had some problems with my drainfield! It was smelly outside as well as there was resting water in the yard.
I knew it was a septic concern.
I was certainly sad about the cost, then anytime something is wrong with septic or drainage due to the septic, that is a hefty bill, then so I had a septic tank repair company come over as well as they looked at the septic, then nope, that component was fine. I didn’t need to have it pumped. I needed to replace my drainfield. It was leaking, out of date, as well as had to be fully accessed. I then got a price quote for six thousand dollars. I called around all the local plumbing businesses. A drainfield redo is around six grand no matter what. No way. I then got my brother who has a mini tractor, however he dug up my backyard so I could access the drainfield. I then detached all the old, flimsy piping as well as redid it with actual plastic. I watched a lot of youtube videos about drain field repairs as well as fastening it right to the septic. I only had one issue where I realized the water wasn’t going to drain properly into one stream of my piping. So I had to reconfigure as well as try again. It took me about a month however I got it done! Then my brother poured dirt as well as packed it down. I now have a fully functional septic system as well as drainage. It cost me around two grand in parts as well as it was a lot of work. I consider it a task well done though.
