Re: Attemp to avoid full field failure - Hey Grizz!!
Yes, my septic is on a slope, and your advice is very timely, as I am going to try out your tip on divining rods and dig up the closest D-Box this week.

Hi Grizz,
Hope I'm not bugging you. While researching everything to work on my system, I have been following your adventure/Nightmare.
After your last post I did some research on what your septic people say you have. It seems to me, simple through not knowing the system design, you have been beating a dead horse. Not that you didn't have a solid plan. Just that it would not apply/function for your particular configuration.
If you indeed do have a Sequential system, you will need to locate each and every Drop Box and field line.
Have each thoroughly and independently Jetted.
Have each Drop line Jetted.
This will free up all of your mechanical system to flow effluent.
Now, Before attempting to close and use, you should start over and Treat each line in an individual manor.
Calculate your needs by the final Lateral count and lengths.
I know you have already invested a large chunk of cash but it still needs to be done. Likely only the Last line ever got any treatment and was still overwhelmed.
If all else fails, Terralift. Insist they punch Max depth and work up to create the most fissures possible and inject the foam pellets. Might even be wise to add Lime Sulfur through each rupture to work through the cracks.
Wish you all the luck in solving this.
Many thanks for your message. It all for one & one for all.
Grizz
