Clint Britt Repair, Tank Replacement 0

THIS WAS A TANK REPLACEMENT ON AN EXTREMELY DEEP TANK. TODAY’S CODE DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A TANK TO BE DEEPER THAN 8′ FOR A NEW INSTALLATION. THIS HOMEOWNER WAS GRANDFATHERED IN, BUT DID NOT WANT TO BEAR THE EXPENSE OF THE SPECIAL ‘DEEP’ TANK. WE DECIDED TO MOVE THE TANK DOWN THE HILL, ABOUT 120′ WHERE A TRADITIONAL TANK COULD BE INSTALLED.

Step 1 was to crush the tank. Not very easy being 8′ deep. We then had to locate the inlet and outlet lines connect them using a repair coupler. Code calls for a pre-tank clean-out every 100′ so this was a perfect location.

Moved about 80+ feet down the hill and located the mainline. Fortunately we where at 4′ deep!

We dug and installed the concrete tank, and glued the sweeping T.

We added the tall risers and reconnected to the leach field…had the inspection and then back-filled.
