Fastening leach line to septic tank
I had a leak in my rental's leach line, or at least the driveway over the
leach line had a constant big foul-smelling puddle all the time the septic tank was in use. It dried up while the rental was empty and while the sewer line was plugged. I had the tank pumped and dug up around the line and it looks ok. Broke off some of the 'concrete(?)' fastening the line but saw no obvious leaks. Leach line itself looks ok, I can only assume the leak is in the tank/line connection and I didn't see it. I don't know wherec elae it could be. I hate to fill up the tank with enough water so the leach line is in use because I may have to have it pumped to do some work on the leach line later. I can see no other possible place for the liquid to leak out. The question is, what is used to attach the leach line? Plain concrete? Plain cement? Special concrete or cement? Something else? I Googled for a long time but couldn't find this info. Wrong search phrases? TIA -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |
