Being a plumber for over 45 yrs, I aint paying anybody to do my plumbing, much as I hate doing it now.
The backhoe cost me a $1000 back then , which I thot was too high. He didn't dig it exactly like I told him to, should have made him do it over ! So far so good. Actually been so long , I cant remember when I did it , back around 1995-96 ??
Fingers crossed, got 4 1/2" of rain in about 2 hrs yesterday. I was in the garage working on my front end mod. , with the door open. You know I`ts raining hard when u see a 2 gal gas can go floating by headed for the rear door , had to get up and close the front overhead door, still didn't stop all of it.!!
We`ve had about 26" of rain in the last month and a half !!

Yea, around me you can call 811. Get cleared and then dig. Has to pitch to whatever your code is/ft. But I never heard of it being illegal to dig on your own land. It has to be inspected, but even so

Or it seams like if you make a major purchase something goes wrong and you have to buckle down
I just went through this I bought a house in Georgia a yr ago and the original home owner said he spent 10k having a new leach field put in. Well once we started getting heavy rains. I could not flush my toilets for hours after the storm. Water table gets to high and was filling the septic tank. So I dug out where the discharge pipe was and found that there was a space where black water was seeping out. When the water table gets high i believe water was seeping in and filling the tank. Hopefully, I fixed with the hydraulic cement. We will see. Good luck!!!!
