The tank
Set level, at depth, where the truck can reach it again when it needs pumping out.
Septic tank installation and field lines in Marion County, MS
Tank in, field line in, ground put back. The dirt work and the septic are the same man, so nothing waits on a second machine to show up.
A septic install is a dirt job with plumbing in it
The tank is the easy part. The rest of it is excavation — a hole in the right place at the right depth, trenches run on the right fall, gravel and pipe set true, and then all of it covered back and the yard put right.
He put in a 1,000-gallon tank with 200 feet of field line in a day. Same machines that clear your land and build your pad dig the trench and set the tank, which is why it happens in one visit instead of three.
If the old system is failing, say so when you call. A soggy spot in the yard, a smell after a wet week, or a line backing up are all worth him looking at before anything gets dug.
The field line a customer thanked him for in public
Thank you Doc Wilson for inserting a new field line! If anyone needs anything this man can just about do it all. We appreciate all your help and kindness. And a big thank you for getting to us so quick and for reaching out! This guy really can do it all, from driveways, cutting trees, to inserting septic tanks and field lines. VERY REASONABLE VERY RELIABLE
Posted publicly by the customer whose field line he put in. It is the only review on this page, and it is a real one.
The tank, the field line, and the ground put back on top
The field line
Trenched on fall and laid straight, because a line that runs backhill does not drain, it ponds.
The ground
Covered back, packed and dressed up. A new septic should not leave you a scar across the yard.
The yard shaped back after the trench is covered
Trenching a field line moves a lot of dirt, and where that dirt ends up is the difference between a finished job and a mess with a pipe under it.
Because the dirt work is his own trade, the ground gets shaped and dressed back on the same visit rather than left in a windrow for you to deal with.
Tank size, the health department, and a yard that stays wet
How big a tank do I need?
It goes on the size of the house, mostly the bedroom count. Tell him what the house is and he will tell you what it takes. A 1,000-gallon tank with 200 feet of line is a normal residential job here.
What about permits and the health department?
Mississippi has rules about how a septic system gets permitted and installed. Ask him when he comes out — he will tell you plainly what he handles and what has to come from the county, rather than let you find out afterward.
My yard stays wet. Is that the field line?
It might be, and it might be drainage. Both are worth looking at, and he does both. Show him the wet spot.
Can you replace just the field line?
Yes. A new field line on a sound tank is a common job, and it is the one a customer publicly thanked him for.
How long does it take?
A straightforward residential tank and line can go in in a day. Rock, water, tight access or a long run change that, and he will tell you which one you have before he starts.
