Letโs break it down:
1๏ธโฃ Irrigation lines over your septic tank = bad idea
Anything crossing the tank lid can turn a simple service call into a complicated (and expensive) problem. It's on automatic fail for a real estate inspection!
2๏ธโฃ That 90ยฐ inlet isnโt your friend
In our county, most inlets like the white pipe shown are capped or not easily accessible per code.
And hereโs the key point:
๐ Most backups in the home occur due to a blockage right at that sharp 90ยฐ turn.
Thatโs why we usually recommend calling a plumber first to snake the line before we start digging or cutting.
Otherwise, you may be adding unnecessary repair costs when the real issue is in the line, not the tank.
3๏ธโฃ Roots donโt care about your septic systemโฆ but they will wreck it anyway ๐ณ
Trees and landscaping should always be kept away from your tank and drain field. Once roots get in, they donโt leave quietly.
