THIS WAS A SIMPLE DEEP RISER JOB. I BELIEVE THE RISERS WHERE OVER 6′ DEEP.

Usually the septic tank pumping company will dig up the lids and add risers by hand. Not this tank. It had never been pumped and needed a tractor to find the lids!

22725 Manning Dr., Elbert CO

THIS WAS FAILED LEACH FIELD. THE SOIL HAD A HIGH BEDROOM LEVEL. WE ADDED A GIANT BED OF C-33 SAND AND PLACED INFILTRATOR CHAMBERS OVER THE SAND.

Aggregate Supplier: Miller Pit

Plastic Supplier:  Plastics Inc.

Tank Supplier:  N/A

County: Elbert

We excavated a 12′ x 84′ pit, that was over 6′ deep.
Here is another pic of the bed (rough before we cleaned it out). Notice the large rock down at the end. We were not able to excavate that puppy out. It kept going and going.
We then imported a few hundred tons of c-33 sand and placed 4 rows of Infiltrator chambers over the top. (not pictured)

22111 CR 150, Agate CO



THIS PROJECT WAS AT THE OLD EXOTIC ANIMAL LOCATION (LIONS/TIGERS/BEARS OH MY!) THERE WHERE TWO TANKS IN THE GROUND WITH ONE NEVER BEING HOOKED UP. WE HAD TO LOCATE THE 1ST TANK, CRUSH IT, AND CONNECT TO TANK #2 AND ENSURE A CONNECTION TO THE LEACH FIELD WHICH WAS CHAMBERS. THE MAIN LINE FOR THE 2ND TANK WAS LEFT IN THE GROUND ABOUT 12′ FROM THE HOUSE. FURTHERMORE, THE EFFLUENT LINE FROM THE NEW TANK TO THE FIELD HAD A PINCH, AND WE NEEDED TO REPLACE. JEFF, FROM HIGH PLAINS SANITATION, DID ALL THE LOCATION FINDING WITH HIS CAMERA. WITHOUT A GOOD CAMERA MAN, THIS JOB WAS NOT POSSIBLE.

We crushed the 1st tank (see the top) the re-routed the line around it to a random line that was left in the ground. We were able to find it, exactly where Jeff left his flag.
Here is the pinched line from tank two. You can barely see the black chamber to the left where the T is.
Here is the creative contraption we glued up for the pinched outlet line. The manifold to the field was offset from the tank and we did not want to disturb it or recreate it.

This was a leach field expansion and repair for the sale of a home in Peyton CO. The field was only receiving effluent water on the west side, a common issue when the manifold is not level. We installed a distribution box with speed levelers to ensure equal effluent going forward.

Step 1, bring out the beast.
We traced the effluent line to the manifold. We then installed a Tuff-Tite distribution box with speed levelers.
We like to pour clean water into the d-box to make sure all lines are receiving the same amount of effluent water.

We didn’t get near enough pics on this job, but here is a pic of the soft soil we encountered when digging up the buried valve box.
Here is a shot of the heat shrunk wiring job we did for the alarm and pump control. The alarm was moved outside and someone had tried to splice it. We completed the job fore the homeowners to sell their home!

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.

THIS WAS A SIMPLE RISER JOB THAT FAILED THE SEPTIC INSPECTION FOR A HOME SALE. RISERS MUST COME TO GRADE (OR ABOVE). THE TANK WAS A 7′-8′ DEEP TANK WITH RISERS ONLY TO ABOUT 6′. WE ADDED CONCRETE RISERS TO MATCH THE CURRENT RISERS.

Here is a shot of the 24″ tall x 20″ wide concrete riser sitting directly on top of the riser stack.

We added lids and backfilled. The house can now pass inspection and be sold.

THIS IS A FAILED LEACH FIELD REPAIR. THE EXISTING FIELD WAS SATURATED AND THE HOMEOWNER CALLED US TO REPLACE. WE DESIGNED A SIMPLE GRAVITY FED CHAMBERED SYSTEM, USING 3 TRENCHES APPROX 80′ LONG. WE ADDED A ‘DIVERTER’ VALVE SO THE OLD SYSTEM COULD BE USED FROM TIME TO TIME.

This is the 3rd of 3 trenches we installed (level) on the side of this customer’s hillside. We used a distribution box to evenly divide effluent water.
Here is the 1st of the 3 trenches. Notice the green grass of the old field on the right side. We don’t like the grass to be THAT green in the winter time.

4 feet of rises on this small 500 gallon Infiltrator tank! That’s as deep as we can go!

This customer needed a new tank and field.  We started with pumping, then destroying the old tank.

More digging of old tank; from the 1950’s we believe.

 

Here we hooked the septic line, sink, and laundry lines, with all had separate lines.

 

We had to trench an electrical line for the pump and alarm float. This trench unfortunately went through the client’s front yard to the breaker box. =(

 

100′ trench to the field.

 

32 trenched lines 100′.  4 Values systems.  Sniffer valve at high point.
