How long does the power have to be out for that to be a prb? I didn't know electricity affects it to potentially cause a mess.

TLDR; properly installed septic systems work. The ones that fail are either installed improperly, poorly designed, or have been affected by nearby development. There is a newish (10-15 year old) neighborhood near us that has septic tanks and leaching fields. In the summer you can clearly see where the leaching field pipes are because the grass grows thicker and greener over the pipes. I wouldn't be happy paying $500k for a house where the leaching field was making patterns on my lawn.
That ends today's lesson on septic systems. There will be a quiz later.  |
Wow, I thought there's no way for septic tanks to work for massive communities like condos...woah! What was the size of that sucker?
What's a leaching field...is that where all the waste goes directly underneath? Can you use that land for anything, e.g. grow veggies, or it's useless save for that function?
Ya, I'm gonna fail that quiz, I know, I know.
Is this the basic idea? Very interesting topic, keep your posts coming!
