Great video. My father and I are down here in Lewis county and having systems installed. This video makes me feel better about the price we are paying for similar systems. I would have wanted to do the installation myself, but I don’t have the time to stumble through it. The learning curve and all. Time is money.

Great video you guys. Good to see family helping each other out.

Literally just had my entire septic system replaced last week. In the Western New York area. Nice new 1500 gallon tank, main line sent out about 100 feet to distribution box, into sand filter, 1 leach line run out another 120 feet with additional offshooting stone weep trenches to help keep yard drier due to silty soil. 10k. And around here that is reasonable. I know people who have gotten estimates for basically the same thing for as high as 14k. The system we had was nearly 70 yrs old. Leach line was a 4" perf pipe laid right out into soil. No surrounding stone. And dead ended in yard. In silty soil water has absolutely nowhere to go. Hence why our old tank, leach line, sand filter and main line was constantly completely filled with water.

Awesome job gentlemen, Also thumbs up 👍 on the piloting skills flying the drone. 😆

@450 I feel like I am spying through the bushes.... love it 🤣......... thanks a lot for this video guys

Nice install but expensive. Extra cost had to do with pressure system taking it out to 250'. But if you can afford it I believe that getting it away from house and main usable yard area is a plus. Great job.

Great job! We calculated saving about $8000 doing ours ourselves.

I just had a guy install arc Chambers he didn't level them they're connected but wavy you think I'm gonna have major issues with them I won't be dealing with him again good video great quality of work

That's really a good video. Love it. I am building my own house in Clark county WA, and plan to do as much as I can. I hired a septic designer, but wondering if Clark county allow me to install my own pressurized septic system myself. Any idea that is depends on county or state rules?

In arkansas septic install with 400 feet of field line gravity feed,with distribution box,1000 gallon tank two clean out 3000 thousand dollars with permits

Good video than thanks for sharing

Question! The approved perc test location is over a hundred and fifty yards from where I want to build the house. Is that acceptable for septic installations?

is a perc test required when replacing an existing drain field

Hello Dan Great video. question It is now 7/2021 how has the system held up? any issues?

When I had a house built back in 1996, they charged me $3000ish to have the septic system installed. That included tank, lines, permits, labor, and everything else. And I thought I was getting screwed.

So COOL! how much would this cost if a third party company did all the work?

Two questions: Trees & ice. With so many trees on this lot, in the areas where your pipes are laid, aren't you concerned about trees and roots reeking havoc on your system? And the depth is so shallow, aren't you concerned about your system freezing up in the winter? What are the guidelines you followed to avoid these kinds of issues?

Does the sand on the side of the chambers not infiltrate through the slits on the side of the chambers and get into the run? This could prevent flow when the sand builds a mat layer and cause a potential failure (EDIT since this is a pressurized system the flow wouldn't be blocked but overall water holding capacity in the chamber could be effected. In a gravity the flow could be halted or hindered). In Western WA where I worked for 20 years, we don't put chambers in sand anymore cause they can settle down effectively blocking the line.

Hi: Great video and very informative. I'm going to install a septic system and I would appreciate if you could share the contact info for the person who designed your system. Thank you.

Dan, What company did you use for the backfill? I have a friend off the Purdy Cutoff that is in a real pickle with his homeowner septic install. Family of six with four little kids by the way. He had a friend dig the trenches 4ft wide and they are not level or deep enough. I spent all day with him trying to hand dig and fix them with a laser but we only got one out of five trenches done. Any help or advice would be much appreciated thanks. Dane

Do you remember the name of the septic designer that did the septic design? I'm in Pierce county WA and currently gathering estimates from designers. Also, great video and craftsmanship on the install!

gunshot didn't even phase this guy at all. just another day.

I seriously need to get one installed and I don't have 4 gs lying around so this should be helpful lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I live in the PO area and was looking for a septic designer that will do a gravity system that I will install myself I also have a Kubota and found your channel today

Those "infiltrator" lines seem to require a lot of excavation and backfilling compared to subsurface drip irrigation for a dosed pumped system. Are subsurface drip systems not approved in Washington state ?

What was your out of pocket total cost

You did not give the total cost...

Thats a really good picture quality. Which drone did you use?

Would you do plastic tanks next time

what was the rough cost labor and material on this project

Thanks for the video... What kind of Drone did you use for this one? Thanks!

I enjoyed watching this series even though it will never be useful in my life. Forgive my ignorance, but in both of your counties, are tract homes and smaller homes on small lots on sewer systems by code? I assume this system required a certain amount of acreage to install. Here on Long Island, the soil is very sandy. Typically its either cesspool ...small footprint, or a growing trend to sewer. If that setup was needed here, home prices would be unafforadable.

Great video but what's the total cost.

I like to see people where, money is no issue at all.

Great video! what state are you in? Im inspired to build my own home!

Hi Daniel, my name is Toni. I'm having a (40x52) inch Metal building put on a 7,500 square foot lot. I'm getting estimates from contractors as to approximately how much it is going to cost me for them to tie in the existing public water and sewer available close to my lot and pour a Concrete Slab that the Metal structure/ pole barn will sit on. They will have to pull the plumbing up through the Concrete for 2 full bathrooms and a Kitchen sink. Can you give me a approximate Cost that something like this should cost me. My lot and Metal pole barn combine together is only costing me $50,000 dollars and I was hoping to spend a lot less for this to be done. I really enjoyed looking at your video. I wish, I knew how to do this myself. I do have a licensed plumber who is going to install all of my fixtures. If you could just give me a approximate Cost of what you think this should cost me. I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Do you mind if I ask how much you think you saved doing it yourself compared to having someone install it for you? If you had to do it again would you do it yourself? Thanks for the video.

How many bedrooms is the system for?

What is going to happen when the trees start sensing a new water supply? I have watched videos showing people who are connected to the city sewer system and tree roots have penetrated the piping and completely clogged the piping.

Wow tiny leach field pipes

Total cost? 15,000 to 25,000?

How big is this (your brother's ) house. Looks about 3000 sq/ft.

I heard a gunshot!

Shit is too shallow if you have winter snow I put my drain pit almost 3 feet in so it don't freeze

So I never did see a total out of pocket cost?

How many acres is that property?

So what was cost of materials ????? $$$$$$

So how much did it cost ? $20k. Most septic systems that I have seen there is a 3" pipe going to the chambers and that is it. No balancing or inside pipe at all. You must be in a nanny state?

you didn't tell us the total cost price tag just this bit and that bit at the end you should have giving total cost bozo

I'm having this type installed now,10,000 bucks

That is an expensive system.

It seems to be an overkill having 5 lines 50feet

Lmao...smh..you people are something else. All of these comments about a septic system being Too Expensive!!😂😂 Lord... well how about you get out there and spend about 2months digging it up your self or come out thousands of dollars for equipment rentals, which you have to have liscense for to dig anymore nowadays, the time for seeking out all of the diffetent places to price, bargain and buying the materials.... Not to mention you must have surveyors, inspectors, line locators and permits, soil testers and health department involved.... After installing you have to put the land Back the way it needs to be. And no ground is the same...what if he or she hit lime stone, have to take out trees.. DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO take ALL OF THAT out FOR FREE TOO..🤣🤣 Hell a standard system here in Kentucky is 5,500... and of course all of that isnt going to materials... 2, 000 of that is going into the pockets...and that's if they dont run into any landscaping problems...they might end up losing there ass on a job depending on the circumstance..... Thier profit is well deserved. Lol nothing is for free.

Washington. Will never live there again.

Damn dude you spent more on your septic system than you could build a small house

Cost?? Glad l read the comments before wasting my time watching....

$17,000 for a new septic here in Missouri

What an over kill the county should be ashamed of them selves

I think I would just shit in a bucket!

the price u pay living in a liberal state...js

If you only own an acre of land you would just be shit out of luck I guess.

Next time make sure you have your camera man because you making me dizzy with all that moving

Ahhh just a toilet.. and then it grew..

Sounds like you spent a ridiculous amount of money
