It is obvious you care a lot about your customers, that is rare in the world today. You should be VERY proud of your work ethic, your folks must have raised you with skill!

the thing that really impresses me is u don't have the flashest gear but u leave ur job sites lookin 10 x beter than people that have the mac daddy million dollar equipment that says alot abowt u and ur attitude, keep it up bro,

I can't believe you did all that in 13 minutes.

I like watching your videos, you do so many different projects. Never heard of a Leach Field, much less knew what it was for. Learn about many things watching your videos, even how to repair equipment that I will never own, well after watching you video on your UTV, I am thinking of getting one. Thanks for sharing you life with us all.

Growing up, my family was poor. One summer, our drain field failed. We couldn’t afford an excavation company, so I got out there and dug a new drain field by shovel. Five rows, each about 75 feet long and seven feet deep. The worst part was when I had to dig close to the septic tank and d-box. It’s was pretty shitty.

I’m impressed that you get your jobs done AND get so much video and do a great job editing the jobs into something interesting. Easy to overlook how much work goes into the video portion.

2 days completed. I'm and out fast and quality. One of you pluses is your finishing work. Cleaning the site before you leave. Your really good at this Andrew. Bravo!

I know the people that use you are so happy to have found you because of all the little special attentions you throw at there property. You are a classic example of what my brothers and me call the DRT''''s (doing the right thing). We always went out of way to spoil the customer and it paid off in huge dividends and I know full well that you enjoy the same rewards. Great job Andrew!

No old man, he's not going to reuse the old broken pipes from the 1960s on the new job. Don't worry.

Dude I found your channel the other day and it's awesome! I've watch probably 20 of your uploads. They're great and you do really good work.

A Camarata classic from the archives! I'm dealing with a failed leach field so time to get to work. I like how you did a hybrid approach with using both gravel and the tunnel system. nice. Most vids with the tunnel just throw it straight on bare soil.

As well as hugely entertaining to watch, this channel is so educational. Thank you for your popular e-learning delivery lesson for this week 😜

When I sold my house I was worried that the leach field would d ail since it was 35 yrs old. My realtor made such a big deal about it. Also I remember my neighbor paying 20k to replace his leach field. You make it look easy!

I started watching your videos when I ran across your hot water pressure washer. And now I’m addicted to watching your channel. Nice work bud 🤙🏾

Andrew.. Great job and so well explained for those of us who are not up on the workings of replacing a field.

I agree, I have installed that brand system you have 5 years ago and it is top notch!!Some of the issues you have with the rubber tracks I was told rocks kick them off and you and I are working in very rocky areas, when you here popping and clicking I was told to sweep out the rock or run the machine back and forth to help them roll out. Hope that helps! Keep up the good work!

when laying pipe, the water should always flow from the straight end of a section into the bell end of the next section, not out of the bell and into the straight

Good job. You are a hard working fellow. Blessings to you! 😎

Andrew, as always I learn something watching your videos. Brilliant job.

Good you replaced that so quickly! It is also great how cleaned up you leave your working areas.

I would love to see your price on this job compared to the big boy septic companies,I see time and materials and very low overhead on your part.Keep on stylin man,i love these jobs.

I really am inspired by your work ethic and quality of work. You lead such a cool life and career!

Wow very large expansion, good for them. Great videos. Keep em coming.

Good job man! I'm impressed at how you did it all by yourself.

8:35 I don't understand why the opening (flap) from this underground channel has not been marked. He was overwhelmed and no one knows where he is. Digging again here may result in accidental damage.

The world is nuts right now and I'm just over here watching Andrew Camarata non-stop.

You’re do a great job, no cutting corners, that is why you will always have work. Customers appreciate this!

Good work and I like the way you take the time to explain the job...Better than any Classroom teacher.

I like that pluming hammer Lol

Nice Job man, bottom line... This customer of yours was in a tough spot and you made something happen for very short money. Whatever time they get out of it is time they can use to save money up for the crazy expensive system that will "never fail" if they really feel like they need it... BTW, has anyone ever seen a "guarantee" on a septic system? Hell's no! No installer is going to sign his name to a guarantee---other than on his workmanship---soil, groundwater, trees, people etc are all unpredictable and clearly shit happens! ok sorry, that one slipped out. LOL!

Excellent attention to detail! Great job!

Great Job Andrew!!! One man's crap is another man's gold!! Bet he was glad to see you! You do finish the job better than anyone I've seen. Cleanup is as important as the job itself.

Nice job on the leach field repair and replacement, Andrew. I love when homeowners tell you they need their drain or leach field repaired or replaced and when you get there you find a damn cesspool. :-)

Always kick ass videos, I don't know why I like them so much, but I do. !!! :)

Thanks for the video and I now understand how the chambers work in the leach field !

Thanks for sharing. It's amazing how one person does the whole process.

The pipe from the tank to leach fields can be pitched... leach field itself should be perfectly level so water drains evenly, doesn’t pool up and fail starting one side to the other, this leach field is definatly fixed but would last longer if leach field was level. Good work brother

Love your channel and have spent hours watching your videos. I think you need to do a video on using aircrete and buy the Little Dragon or make one for a DYI aircrete System. Aircrete would have been perfect for your hot tub and grotto. To all those septic experts commenting on permits, percs, and soil, you need to think a little more logically. We all urinate at most a 1/2 gallon per day. Go out an dump a 1/2 gallon of urine in your yard. Most people that have wells and septics are on bigger plots too. That 1/2 gallon will do absolutely nothing to your yard or the ground water. Now multiply it by 5 members in a household. You are now at 2 and 1/2 gallons. It will do zero to your yard and will evaporate or soak in before the day is over. Now dilute that water with all of your toilet flushes, showers, teeth brushings, dish washing and laundry and don’t forget rain and we are talking about gallons and gallons of water diluting your urine going out into the yard. There is zero to worry about. Now then there is also the food we eat that gets put in fancy North Face brown puffer jackets and hangs out in the cement or plastic septic tanks and then the water runs by and Parties with the jackets. All those gallons of water carry a little something extra, but it is underground and so diluted it is all so harmless. If you want to know if the effluent is harmless, go look at the grass near a septic tank that has been in a state of over flow. It is the lushest green you will ever see. What is my point? People are worried about effluent that if used and sprayed all over the yard, would give you the greenest yard ever, but ironically we call Green Lawn and Eco Lab and ACME Grass to put all kinds of dangerous chemicals to kill weeds and bugs and nobody worries about that run off, when all that we need for the healthiest lawn ever is sitting in the septic tank. I have an estimate for what you just did in this video, and in plain English it says to budget $45,000 for a leach field replacement. So Andy...hold your head high. You threaded the needle to help the little guy, and provided a safe leach field and ensured no dangerous water will make it to the Hudson and did it without going through the grifter system.

You the man Andrew !!! Awesome job

Amazing that those chambers dont just collapse, good job

i once lived with my grandmother, we had a septic tank at the end of the garden, i always wondered why the grass was wet, after watching Andrews videos now i know :)

Good job Andrew you always seem to make a nice job of everything!

why am i compelled to watch your stuff? i don't know, but i do know you do a great job and make a great upload at the same time, keep it up and thanks

Your neighbours/clients must be very happy you live nearby! Excellent job...nicely done!

Very nice video Andrew and you give some great tips for people that may need to do this in the future! I'm sure you saved this guy a LOT of money since you don't have a big crew and fancy machines with large payments! Oh, got my shirt the other day, looks great! Thank you!

good job . i replaced my septic tank with a 1200 gallon cinderblock cesspool and found a 4-500 gallon cwsspool that i put an overflow pipe into. the cinderblocks , lid pvc pipe and excavating cost me. under $500 back in 1980s in NYS . No engineers required, no inspectors etc. Never had a problem with it . My grandkids will be retired before that baby needs service. A buddy of mine had to have an engineered septic designed by a PE. ,and installed by a county approved septic system installer a few years later. It was in a watershed district, and it cost him about 20 thou. Thiw was in 1989 or 1990

A tradesman work is their signature, and this tradesman has very fine penmanship!

Beautiful Work !

Very nice job but you need to bed your pipe before back filling your pipe. That protects the pipe from rocks and it also protects you from redoing a job because of a rock that broke your pipe. Just a little bit of advice from someone that has been there

Hell... people hating on your repair. They shouldve saw how my grandfather did our septic/leach field in the mid 80's, it was all haggard and still working great till this day.

Love your vids been watching for DayZ now

Very nice, quick work, and very quick inspection.

Milwaukee needs to send you a bunch of tools. I'd say you are a better candidate and investment then half these KZfaqrs they do send tools to

Question. Why hook each segment of the 100' PVC so that the flow to the leach field would encounter each seam on its way? Id think you'd want to hook them in the opposite fashion.

thanks for sharing the video you get a mighty fine job the only thing I would have done different was pulled those trees out that was near the leach line those roots will plug up the leech line within 5 years I like to keep trees and growing bushes 75 ft away from my septic system

Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

As a general rule you should put the slip joints the other way around.

Andrew! You laid the pipe backwards.

What a dude , a one man wrecking crew. Really came out Nice..

You did a great job ☺👍

First of all great video and thank you for showing us how you do things. I do the same work with my father here in Georgia and I can say that it's similar to where you live. Here we just install the chamber by itself ( no gravel,sand,ect..). The installer needs a license and has to apply for a permit but no engineer is involved ( unless the ground is complete garbage). The inspector goes to the site prior to our work, writes down the general area where they want it and will come to inspect before we cover up to take records/measurements. I would recommend a quick release bucket for digging smaller trenches quicker and less time spent covering up. Everything else is just preference. Great job man!!

Watching an Artist at work. This young man should be an inspiration to other young people.

Where I live they would have made me sleeve that with 6” schedule 80 under the driveway. Enjoy your vids man

Always polite and respectful in addition to a good job

And up from the ground came a bubbling crude, Oil that is, Black Gold, Texas Tea! (a line from the Beverly Hillbilly's song)

Never run the bell end of the pipe that way cut the bell end off the first piece and run the bell end opposite way

Nine clean job on the back fill. Most of the contractors around here leave the area looking like a war zone.

Excellent, Informative Video!

I bet that smelled like fresh baked chocolate chip cookies!

Beautiful! Just what I need to do at my cabin in the woods. I guess those baffles also help with roots? and the landscape fabric. I'll bet that damn guy could have hugged you after fixing a problem like that and leaving the site so nice. Funny to hear these armchairs giving you advice when you obviously wrote the book and have the videos to prove it.

Love how clean the site was left!!!!!!! I'm in my grandparents home now, and our septic is near to fifty years old. I have had it pumped every two years. It was a gift to me and our fam but was hardly maintained. We just had the February snow/ice storm here in Maryland and in a day my septic ran into my shower. Its taken us 5 years to barely get on our feet. Estimates here for this run 5-20,000$!!!!!! Suggestions???????? No, movinfg is not an option. Applied for xmas in April and everything else.

What you have is knowledge and that never gets old

Wicked job Andrew ...and not one word about the nasty smell .

I like the pvc saw.

Good informative video. Thanks for posting.

Best channel of this type period.

U do great work A.C. Would markings be put to avoid accidental digging by some1 else in the future?

is a perc test required when replacing existing drain field

Keep up the good work young fella

Good work, all the best for you. You forward. Thanks Jose.

I can smell this job.

Wow...way more professional than the one my plumber put in

love the videos ! you do great work....only thing I would ever critique is maybe to put a tarp down and put the dirt on top. I wouldn't want my yard getting all messed up by dirt! love your videos!!!

Really enjoy your videos, Keep them coming! ( New subscriber )

Instead of rock ,stick your shovel on end of pipe - no level ? Need grade to field .Piping ‘Shoot into bell’

I had to turn down the smellavision when that shit come out of the ground. It was not black gold or Texas tea, this is the kind of video I like

strangely satisfying to watch. good job.

Awesome job brother, I thought only Southerners knew how to operate an excavator like that. Loved your video.

Over all very nice. One change/suggestion, lay the pipe so the bell end is on the upstream side. Slightly less of a chance of debris getting caught in a joint.

I wish septic fields were that easy where I'm in Western Canada, they have to be engineered and approved, a basic gravity fed drain field a person is looking at 10-15,000 dollars, most drain fields have to be pressurized systems now your looking at 30-40,000 dollars. Most contractors don't want to do septic systems because of the regulations plus the fact the contractor is liable for any failures for the life of that field. If you are a home owner and you've screwed up your septic system from neglect its going to cost you a fortune.

There isn't much Andrew can't do. Nice work.

Very nice job! you do leave the sight looking better than when you started. You did go the extra mile with the gravel over the chambers when it isn't necessary, but it doesn't hurt anything I'm guessing.

Somebody buy that boy a cordless sawzall!

Water was still there the next day and you put the infiltrators in. You be fixing that in a couple years not even.

hi Andrew i am from Mauritius in Indian ocean i see the work you done but here we make it differently one thing i found that you are like mike plumber ,operator /mechanic learn in a different way after excavate the trench must be meter with a slope of 1 cm and the pipe must be slotted to 65% each side with a distance of 10 cm this to protect the pipe crush and the pipe must be sewer type pn 10 ist step excavate trench 2nd trimming of trench then laying of géotextile membrane the a bedding of 15 cm with 30 to 40 mm gravels then laid the pipe after then you backfill with gravel 40 cm you the géotextile and then finally backfill with soil i made it several time and it work for several year

Such neat efficient work. Very impressive.

I would be worried where the pipe crosses the road not very deep

The baffle should have been a little longer unless it is a ledge or lowboy tank. When I do baffles I measure top of tee to bottom of cover opening, you should have a air gap of at least two inches when cover is on to let air from roof vent flow thru tank to leach field. I just cut top of tee off to be sure. Also putting a vent on end of leach field would help.

Nice video, I have been waiting for a video that is simple and to the point, I'll subscribe now, thanks

In Florida we have to dig down most times to the water table(not that deep) and back fill with perk sand. Must be different up there.
