How to Find Your Septic System and Drain Field

Great information! Glad that you were able to find information on your homestead and learned that the septic is set up for both the house and mobile home! Such a blessing!

I always look forward to your video's.. That is really cool you can see the lines. I am so happy for you that it is connected to the school house. Now all your dreams can come true. Can't wait to see you fixing it up. I know it won't happen right away...but you know what.....I'm patiently waiting....When ever your ready, I'll be watching.

Good observation on the drain field! Y'all have a Blessed Day!

I'm so excited for you guys. That's a huge time & experience. On to the next big project!!!

Glad u didn't swell up from the poison ivy.

Nice news! All things work together....... Thanks for sharing

Hi, That's great news for you and will save money in the future.

Thanks for bringing us along on your journey!!

Your videos are fantastic

Good detective work finding your septic system. Be glad you have the newer style that has the drain bed, our original system had a tile running to a county ditch. When the tile plugged or collapsed, we found out it couldn’t be repaired(didn’t meet new standards) and we had to put in a complete new system. Have really enjoyed watching you fixing up the new property. Phil

Awesome! Y'all are getting it all figured out. I am excited to see what Y'all do with that ol' schoolhouse. I am a littly enviouse. #Vlarmer ~Nate

You could consider having a sand mound installed in a new location if you have the room,. This would replace the leach field this way you could use that area to plant at some point. I bought a home off grid on 14 acres and inspector told me the leach field is in the backyard. Thought it was odd because this was built in 1992 and and at that time they were doing sand mounds and no longer using drain fields on new homes. So when I moved in I found a huge sand mound over 300 + feet in my woods it had 6 white pipes sticking out of it. So looks like I have a sand mound and looks in great shape no dampness or over saturated spots. Good Luck on your homestead and thanks for sharing this info.

Your yard should be a good metal detecting spot. Nice.

The school house has what looks like some excellent timber. I would recommend testing the plaster walls for asbestos!

Thank you this helped. I am now in contact with the city and they’re going to give me that information.

Thank you for the information. I am glad they found your records.

Interesting that somebody before you had the same idea in making the school house a home. Great that y'all don't have to install a septic system.

Super helpful thanks guys!

Great information. Thanks!

Take two pieces of copper wire bent to 90*....Hold them loosely in both hands protruding straight forward....walk across the area and when they cross, you will find any kind of pipe, whether it be pvc, metal or clay....works every time....
