Septic Tank Issue

Ian Hoover
  • Bridgeville, PA
Posted

Hello BP,

I am involved (somewhat) on a deal that the septic tank is working but whoever installed it did not follow todays standards for the leach field.

There has been some crazy numbers thrown out on fixing the issue because of how the property sits on a hill (welcome to Pittsburgh), my question is are there any alternatives to a septic tank?

Tap in is not available on this street.

Thank you!

Unless there is a law that when a house sells it must be brought up to todays code ,I dont see a problem until the drain fields fail .    I have 5 houses with drain fields , they dont bother me a bit , I have replaced  2 over the years . But I also own a backhoe and have a plumber pull the permit .
