Getting Started Setting the Tank Starting the field Excavating the field Sand and Drain Rock Setting the drain tiles Covering the field The finished Product

Covering the field This is a shot of the septic system when it is ready for inspection. The health inspector will need to check and approve this septic system prior to burial. This shows the tank connecting with the drain bed before it is covered. A roll of the tyvek roll material has been left for the health inspector to check. Once it has passed inspection the drainfield and tank can be buried. Notice the white tubes sticking up. These are inspection tubes and are a requirement for most areas. They run from the bottom of the drain field through the sand and gravel layers.  They should be placed after you have put in the sand layer.  In this picture we have spread the tyvek roll material and covered it with a few shovels of dirt to hold in place. Then the excavator will spread the dirt, which has been piled from the original excavation of the tank and field, over top. Some shovel and rake work is always needed.
