Re: Septic Bed
We have one at our summer home because it's in a very remote area, we normally refer to it as a septic tank because that is the first thing the sewage goes into, but you are right in a way because the output of the tank then goes through a 'bed' of stones and some other stuff to partially clean it then finally into the soil.Re: Septic Bed
Yes, both are right. We had to have ours dug out last summer completely & it was moved to another part of our property. It set us back $6,000. which we didn't have. It's horrible to have to spend that much money on something that you don't notice (until you need it). Just wondering if anyone had problems with their septic bed. Our tank was fine but the bed wasn't properly done by the people before us. Not only that they did daycare & had one of these huge, heavy playground areas right on top of where the weeping tile bed was!Re: Septic Bed
Re: Septic Bed
We don't have a mains sewage system in my village. I have a septic tank which is pumped out every few months. As many of my neighbours have no bathrooms and only outside toilets, (basically just a shed with a wooden seat over a deep hole dug out of the soil) they just have soak aways to take the "grey" water.Re: Septic Bed
