Never thought I would enjoy watching a septic system install. I did my own. You are a talented instructor.

Septic systems are freaking crazy overkill these days. A system that size could support like 30 people

He said the magic word he tries to get it PERFECT. Wish a lot more contractors and subs were like him. You can tell he's a professional by the way he explaines everything, awesome work sir👍

Excellent video sir! I never thought I would watch a septic system install from beginning to end and find it entertaining also.

Nice to see you working with family. My dad, brother in law and I built 5 houses throughout my lifetime. 3 were for me :) Actually, the fifth was for me and Dad has been gone for decades and I built 600 miles from my sister and hubby so It was pretty much my wife and I on the last one. We had a lot of fun working together. Doubt there will be another as brother and law and I are in our 70's. We have done lots of other projects together as well. Sure do miss my dad.

You remind me of an old saying in helping others; to keep what you have you have to give it away. Another great video.

You are transparent, informative, and professional. This is the content that I ENJOY sharing. This is the kind of professional that I would recommend to someone. Please keep the community up to date with your projects! Your channel will explode once it hits critical mass!

I have watched several “do it myself” septic install videos over the past 6-8 months. This was BY FAR the most informative and thought out video I have seen thus far. Thank you for taking the time to teach others how to save money and do it the right way. I believe in the American way of having the opportunity to do my own projects and learn from each one so I can help the next do-it-your self neighbor. Thank you!!

Always nice to see someone who has a full grasp of the work to be done!

This is a great tutorial to help me understand a septic system. I am new to the excavation world and needed to understand what a system could look like underground. Thank you!

Great video!!! Very informative. Not too much talking, not too little. You showed everything 😊

Really great advice about speaking with the inspector before starting the job. Ive found them to be really helpful.

That’s what I call brotherly love.

WOW, I never got such an education by watching your build series, keep them coming Paul!

Great overview. I had to put all this info together on my own from bits and pieces of diagrams and articles years ago. You are the man!

I am studying EPA regulations for Leachfield Design Considerations. This was a very informative video. I actually enjoyed the passion and knowledge of this man. He really represents the hard-working, successful American. Good Job. We need more people like you to rebuild and make America great again.

Thank you for going into detail with this project. It makes me aware that I can also do this when it comes time to install all this in my dream home

Like some other comments, I never thought I would enjoy watching an install, but it was so very informative. I have a septic system that is just over 10 years so I figured, I should start to learn what is under the ground. Thank you for making this video!

I really like putting those systems in, very simple to install. Our county is pretty much the same standards as yours.

our septic system is quite different. For one, we had very little soil. We began years before we built, hauling in fill material as we are on a mountain of rock. The djainfield was dug around 20'x40' and a bed of clean 3/4" rock laid and the a grid of perforated pipe laid and covered with more clean rock and then a very heavy fabric. over that was a layer of soil. In total, there are probably 100 loads of material in our djainfield. Our tank is a 1500 gallon with no compartments. the drop from the house to the tank is probably 8' and the drop from the tank to the djainfield is another 15'

Hey man, great video! I appreciate all the information and the time that you put into this video for all of us. Thank you so much and God bless!

this is the best learning videos on rural home waste water septic systems. Good to hear about permits and what to do. Too many people think they are going to alter what the Building Code person tells you. Then, bad bad things happen. Thought about going cheap and it costs you ten times for for removing your screw up and doing it right when told how to do this right.

I did my own 50 years ago, nothing fancy and expensive like yours. But it still works good .

Wow, great work ! Septic Systems have sure come a long way.

Right on! Great video, it’d be cool to see you install an alternative system, such as a pressurized, or a sand mound. & explain that, again great video, keep on going! 🙏🏼

Great Job! Very Professional Work! Very Good Explanation! Whoever invented the septic and lateral line sewer system was a genius, makes it possible for people to live at their dream place! I recently bought my first house in the country that has a similar septic system, just a bit smaller for a one bedroom house. My previous house I owned was in the city. I did own a place in the country (woods) when I was younger and it had a small lagoon sewer pond that was very functional and had no odors. I'm so grateful to get out of the city again and back to the country (woods) after 32 years. Now at least I'm not so far from the city so it's not so far to have easier access to the things I need.

Great video, great explanations! Thanks for taking the time to make this. You obviously know what you are doing and its so generous of you to share your knowledge with others.

Wow this was refreshing to hear and see a contractor being perfect on all levels. I am totally inspired.

I learned so much from this video. Thanks for doing a detailed start to finish. That's very professional.

This is awesome, but my anxiety shot through the roof 😂. Thankfully there is no code enforcement where I live and am currently building because there is no way I’m going to do a system this in-depth. But it does look cool! Easy and fast is what I’m looking for.

Very wise and correct statement you made about inspectors. They would rather you ask what they will be looking for to obtain an approval. It typically a lot of work for them to fail and inspection.

Just another note when you're gluing pipe and you shove your pipe into the glue joint you need to twist your pipe at least a quarter turn this allows for the bubbles to be expelled. I've been in the plumbing pipe fitting business for 30 plus years. I'm not sure if this guy installed septic systems regularly but definitely a very professional job.

Just the right amount of information, very clear and to the point. Thank you

This is easily best case scenario when installing a new system. It’s dry and sunny and nice. The dirt has absolutely no rocks in it. Imagine putting these in the dark, cold, and pouring rain. Constantly fighting the mud to keep the system level to satisfy the inspectors, and unearthing watermelon size rocks and tossing them out of the trench to prevent a break when the dirt settles after backfilling.

Paul does it ALL!!!!! Great job.

Man you take pride in your work love people like you

Curious … Iowa having some cold winters, aren’t the runoff channels too shallow in the ground? Shouldn’t they be below frost levels? Like in frosty Norway, pipes and anything liquid need to be at least 6ft under … sometimes 8 ft.

Excellent video. Well explained. Really appreciate your effort and sharing your knowledge.

This is the best video I have seen in a long time. Now I know how my septic was built and where the drain field is and is configured. Thanks.

That is excellent content, a perfect blend of information and time lapse, the professionalism of your knowledge and your use of best construction practices for your locality is one of the best advertisements you could possibly have for your business. Always good to have inspectors in the loop from conception to completion, they can actually be good resources if you have any questions. Well done, thank you.

this is astounding. So educational. I don't have to do one anytime soon, but its good to know more about it if it should arise. Thank you.

Excellent Video; I always wondered how these systems work- I appreciate the detailed, no BS explanation.

So well designed, my parents house had one from 1954 that failed a few decades later and they hooked up to sewer.

I always compact the over dig area next to the tank before installing the pipe or keep it to less than a foot. In a 3 or 4 foot span the pipe will sag and fail eventually.

This showed up in my recommendation and I’m glad it did. I watch a lot of construction videos just for general knowledge purposes. This is a very informative video. I will never have a septic system as I’m a city slicker. It’s always good to know how a septic system works. Thank you sir. 🙏🏻✊🏻

Times have changed with location and codes for sure!!! Inspectors want pipe schedule facing up so they can read it in our area! Yea, good idea to ask inspectors what they want,,, they love to share their knowledge!! I was taught to twist glued pipe together so it bonds better and fills any gaps that maybe left in the connection ,I just do it out of habit now!! Nice drone footage!!!

I'm in the beginning phases of researching modular/manufactured home installation and somehow I ended up here...Very informative.

Great job bedding tank and pipe. that is the most often failure on installations and regulatory inspections. As a regulator I see many failures due to improper bedding. One local homeowner spent a three day weekend with 10 degree or below temps hand digging sewage laden mud from beneath his deck and home to resolve a blockage due to improperly bedded pipe on a 6 year old system. Get it right at installation and you don't have to repeat that homeowners experience!

Built my own septic system years ago cost less than $600 still going fine

Nothing ensures a top notch job than doing work for a family member. That’s clear to anyone who watched this.

❤ Can you do a video of the camera in the viewport of the infiltrator and explain what to look for?

Best septic explanation and walk through on KZfaq!!! Kudos

Just curious about only going down 24 inches. Do yo have to worry about drain lines freezing?

I Love the way you explained everything!! It helped me out! Awsome job!!!!

Great install. Very helpful. Blessings to you and your family.

Do you have any more sisters that are single ? Need you as my brother-in-law.

Hi we do septic maintenance and looking at your install, I am impressed! that is a perfect install, I really like the even distribution to each line. Great install Bruce with Advanced Septic

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THIS. ITS OBVIOUS BY THE NUMBER OF VIEWS THAT OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY.

That video was recommended to me... dont intend to build a sceptic tank but still watched it till the end lol

If the plan is to live in the mobile home until they save enough and then build the dream home, will the mobile home be sold/removed from the property once the dream home is built? Looks like the dream home will end up being on the opposite side of the leech field as the mobile home. Does that mean you will need to dig for a second septic for the dream home? Was there any chance at placing the leech field such that it could be repurposed for the dream home after the mobile home was no longer needed?

I know it runs higher but I would have used sc40 on all of it. Seen way too much of that thinn wall stuff collapse

Thank you for the video and I have to say that it was a very detailed and unselfishly done, professional bit of information.

We are looking to build our own septic and this video gave us all the information we've been searching for! Thank you so much for sharing this process in detail as it is a very daunting project!

What is a ballpark price for a system like this in your opinion?? $20k??? Great work. You really pay attn to the details. Its not rocket science, but you need to know what youre doing. Great vlog!!

I design these for a living in North Carolina, so I'm just curious about a few things: 1. Were you required to go through a soil scientist, or did you have the option of a REHS from the county or state level? 2. Is the 1250-gallon tank a requirement in your state? Anything less than 5 bedrooms only requires a 1000 gallon tank here in NC. 3. Why is the D-box set so far away from the drain lines? Would you have been unable to get 1/8 inch of fall per foot of supply line to the D-box if you'd set it closer to the lines? There's nothing wrong with your design, I've just never seen a D-box set so far away. 4. Did you use low-profile chambers so that your curtain drain wouldn't have to be as deep? Just wondering because if you were allowed up to a 36 inch trench depth, you could've used standard Infiltrator chambers and received a 25% reduction on linear footage. The 4 lines would've been 75 feet instead of 100, so the curtain drain would've been deeper but also a bit shorter. I'm just curious of how the math worked out, if it was still somehow cheaper to use low-profiles. It's fascinating to see how this is done in other states! 👍🏻

Wonderful video I like the way you take time to explain in simple detail what your doing 👍

Excellent video, always wondered how the DB evenly distributed water. Now I know. Thanks!

How long will this system last ? Also how much would it cost to have it done ?

This seems to be overkill for a single family house!

Would be awesome if every contractor did the same level of work they would do for themselves or family for everyone.

This dude goes above and beyond, whoever’s house this is definitely choose the right guy

we don't deal with govt out here, we just make um work.

And do not drive on your infiltrater.

I had no idea about all that went into this type of sewage system. I find this fascinating.

Damn it’s nice having a tractor. Need me one of those Cleaned a 20+ yr old system for my parents

What a ridiculously huge septic system to a single family home. The requirements are a way to control and restrict rural development.

Talk about overkill!! You got played by the local beaurocrats and politicians!!

I like the fact that this guy's looking at the future, for when the trailer goes and the new house is put in place and the field is up to spec

Great job, FYI, always use PVC with the bell end, no connectors. Using connectors are failure points either by the ground settling, tree roots , vehicle traffic etc. PVC with the bell end totally eliminates a possible failure point.

Impressive videography/editing and really well-done construction. Thanks for sharing!

Gave a thumbs up as I love the viewing port in each run - brilliant!

This was so very helpful for understanding how it works and then implementing it. thank you so much

Great video thanks. And what a good brother you are.

This is an amazing system. I have to rebuild mine. With La Nina we have ended up with record breaking rain. 1 in 100 years! The system has to deal with massive flooding ground water and surface water. Your system gives me some good ideas.

Excellent work!

Viewing ports are creative.

You Sir are a perfectionist. Nice work. Very Squared Away.

Regardless of the subject, your video is text book perfect.

Nice. That’s a huge septic field.

That’s a lot more than what I expected it to be !

Always wondered how septic systems are installed. This was a great video. Good job.

Thank you Paul! 😀

You have the Midas touch. You turn shit into gold. Awesome job.

Excellent video!!!Cheers from California.

Pretty interesting and professional. In NC in a mobile home and low area. Always have had problems with the septic. Found out foam peanuts were used in places instead of rock, like wth.... later, dug a hole, Im thinking like the screen barrier, big and deep enough for a car to fit in and still have issues 😣. As a woman w/family of 4, thats the only reason I watched this video. Very interesting to see your process and how professional you are.👍

That's a giant system.

Beautiful work!

Great video: clear & complete. You must be in the South to have everything so close to the surface!

Nice Job Paul!

Great video! Thanks for your time and info. This is a task I would like to add to my business so I'm researching and taking notes. Thanks
