Clogged field lines, replaced with 18-inch chambers
Location
McCalla, AL
Problem
Lines blocked by dirt and tree roots
Repairable?
No, the old lines were beyond repair
Solution
New field lines on 18-inch-wide chambers
What we found
Old field lines packed with dirt and roots
Our team was called to address issues with a homeowner’s existing septic field lines. Initially, we planned to repair the current system, but upon further inspection, we discovered that the lines had been sitting unused for an extended period, allowing dirt and tree roots to accumulate inside. Unfortunately, the extensive blockage left the existing field lines beyond repair.
What we did
A new field line system with 18-inch chambers
To provide a reliable, long-term solution, our technicians installed an entirely new septic field line system using 18-inch-wide chambers. This replacement was designed to restore proper wastewater drainage and help ensure the homeowner’s septic system functions efficiently for years to come.
