What every you do DO NOT let any part of the leach area be done when the soil can freeze it will cause nothing but problems(sewage coming to the top of the ground for 1) some installer will do it just to get the job done and over with, and they are the ones that give septic contractors a bad name

 

[lordhighlama]

that's good info to have ozzy. The contractor I'm working with said that we would have to wait for warmer weather but never gave me the scoop on why.

What about the sand filter? Shouldn't be a problem to have that installed if ground is froze?

 

[ozzydiodude]

no just the leach area. when the soil freezes it causes a dead(for lack of better work) zone that microbes and water will not use or pass thru right. It forms a glaze almost like on pottery that holds water.

......because the last time I read this stuff I had my tank pumped out on Nov 16th.....and then it started to rain and rain and rain.....and the tank started to rise and rise and came right out of the ground ripping itself lose from the inflow and outflow....and 'they' never warned me about 'ground water' and never told me to 'fill my tank with water'....and they wanted $15,000 for a new system.....and they said that I had to pay DEQ $1,350 to do a test hole......

I am currently in a 'holding' pattern....and will figure out something in July when it should be dry.....

Hey lama, I'm crossing my fingers for you....ozz man....great advice

P=Dude 1) check you local septic laws in some places the pumper is required to tell the customer to refill the tank with water. 2) Talk to your local santerain(?) and see if you are allow to replace the tank only if you can show the existing leach field/system is working properly. They should not be allow to make you replace a working system that had had the tank float or cave-in if the leach works. 3) while you are at The local health dept get a copy of their records of the existing system.

The wifey and the doggie and the Pdude took a walk when we were in our small downtown.....called 'Oldtown' because it's older than the rest of Bandon

that looks so neat painter,, makes me really want to go their this year!

 

[painterdude]

WHAT'S UP MY FRIEND?

Glad you like our small town, it is quaint. Great golf courses out at the Bandon Dunes for you to play on. We've lost two fantastic restaurants last fall so the wife and I are eating mostly at our favorite Mexican place.

Hope you are well.

How's the septic coming?

 

[lordhighlama]

septic is coming along,, weather hasn't been our friend and we've had a lot of frost on the ground. My contractor thinks he'll be starting within the next two weeks. Light is at the end of the tunnel now.

I love little quaint towns like that, always very fun to visit spots!

 

[painterdude]

Lama my friend, glad to hear from you....here are some more pictures of Bandon, Oregon

The restaurant is now gone......but I really miss my Sat/Sun Eggs Benedict

The Airstream's bathroom is where I start my seeds under CFL's and they get to veg there for a few weeks and then go outside into five gallon buckets and nature takes over......last year was bud rot in September.....
