[VAC] Re: Tapping into an existing septic system
Scott...
Deal with a licensed Septic Contractor, usually a plumbing company.... If
you hook it up wrong, you can ruin his drain field and cause a major
expense to lay in a new drain field.... Even though it is a "country"
location, you can have local conditions that make modifications to the
existing system not only difficult, but illegal....Using an emaserator
style of pump and adding an inlet to the tile on the "house side" of the
tank is the goal and the local "sewer contractor" is the way to start....
What seems like a no brainer can wind up costing you both a lot of money....
