Thanks for a very informative video. Giving our daughter 3 acres next door. I bought a new backhoe ($7K) for my Branson 3520 a month ago, then paid $950 a few days ago for the perk test which is scheduled for 10am in the morning. Was told that if we hired someone to expect to pay $25 to $30K and for self installed around $5k. Fingers crossed that this passes for a conventional system. Will also be using the backhoe for the footers, water and gas lines as well as landscaping, etc. Will hire someone to put a foundation in and frame it, then finish it ourselves.
Just wanted to pop in and say how incredible you are! I liked thinking about what your kids got to see. The massive amount of work that went into building the house, then having it here on youtube for them to see forever, for your grandkids . Not just the hard work, but the standard you set, how you made decisions. We all get to enjoy it. Work beyond measurable value that extends in so many directions. You built beauty in every facet. Is that heaping praise? I don't think so. Paul you're the man that shows up, society can exist because people keep promises, care, and as a result can trust. Such a chaotic environment to plan in, but you did it so well. Thank you both Paul & Emily.
Thank you very much. Your comment means a lot to us.
Thank you from Alabama DIY. Perk test ordered for next week and then let the fun DIY begin. Thank you, thank you
Welcome!
I love the cost breakdown videos! Thank you!
Thanks!
Actually was looking into getting quotes for a new septic install and this was a huge help, because I don’t have a clue on the prices but now I can figure that out for my area. You guy’s are awesome.
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped
Very well organized and detailed video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great overview of the process and costs.
Very helpful video, thank you!
Well done, Paul, Emily! Many areas are now requiring anaerobic systems, hope your later content can cover some. Additionally, with water usage becoming a greater and greater problem, a 500 gallon tank pied to recover grey water to be reused as outdoor watering and such could be very useful. FR
Thank you so much for doing this video!
Thanks for watching!
SOLID INFO. YOUR VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS ENTERTAINING. THANK YOU ‼️‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
Thank you!
Great review and recap on the waste treatment system components and costs.
Thank you!
Very informative! Thanks !!
Thanks for watching!
This is good. Thank you much.
That is one very big system for a three bedroom manufactured. I am sure there are unseen factors that drive the size requirements.
wow that is waaaaaay above and beyond what a diy person will install.
We love these videos
Thank you!
Thanks Paul & Emily! A peat moss system and a concrete slab cost breakdown would be great.
Thanks for watching we will work on that!
Nice install
Thank you for the video's. I've seen another channel do a, I know this is not how you say it a presby system and that is quite a bit of of work it would be a good video for you to price out. As always have a great day
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! Let us know if there’s anything else cost related you’d like us to break down
@@MrPostFrame Thanks. We recently bought a lot and planning to build a small house on it. This video gave us much better idea on septic system.
Wow, that's a huge system, I watched the neighbor's septic system be replaced about a year ago and the whole system fit in a hole that couldn't have been any bigger than 25'x15' and that was for a 3bd, 1 bath maybe 2. Southern Maine.
Thanks!
Good content guys. This is how we build them in my area. Basically the same costs. Sometimes they require us to install pressure dose with a pump and alarm system which adds to the cost. We hire a local excavation guy to speed things up. One day installs. Cheers from Montana.
Thank you!
Thank you guys, you are fantastic!
What is the septic system called you mentioned on the 19th minute all the way in the end?
I'm in Michigan and the perk test was $400, as of last week, and they dug in three separate locations. The prices of materials seem pretty comparable to what we were told here. We also looked at an engineered field, however, we were told upwards of $40,000! I about fainted.
Oh wow yeah that’s a huge price tag!
A friend of mine did his. He dug a big trench at the back of his property and filled it with stone and ran a pipe. Hasn't had any issues that I know of.
$400 percent test…I wish lol. Perc test was $1500 here in NY, and I had to have a temporary log bridge built for the equipment to access the proposed septic area, due to a very small stream crossing. That was $4000. Good ol NY.
Yikes!
Thank you for the vloging well done, I have started to do a little myself on some work I do I can't seem to get anything done if I'm focused on it 😅.
Anyways I am young 25 my end goal is to open a residential home building company, but for starters I want to do septic system install businees to build some capital up and use the money to get a loan, following the material and build the first home on my land. FYI I just wanted share a bit of my background. My question for you guys are I've been studying the book in SC to receive my licensure. Is there any advice on studying for the exam. Or recommended areas in the book I need to focus own cause it's awfully length anything would be greatly apprectiated
Can you do a video on peat moss septic that you mentioned? I searched around for it, but couldn't find anything that suggested it would be easier, so maybe you meant something different? Appreciate it!
I'm going to install a presby septic system soon for a 2 bedroom. $4200 in parts. Health Department said I had to past a test which took me 3 tries a fee to take the test of $40 each time. I figure I'll have $8,000 in it. Installers wanted 17,000 to 21000.
That’s a good cost savings for DIY
In Iowa it's the same kind of deal; you can take a weekend class + test for around $400 IIRC. But again as Mr. Post himself described whether or not that certification is acceptable in a particular Iowa county is questionable. In my county (still in Iowa) only a certified installer can do this work, or a certified installer must be on site while the work is being done.
Does code require you to have a fall on the infiltrators and curtain drain?
Do you plant a garden on top of the septic system?
In 2000 I paid $13,500 for a sand filter septic system, with a pump to push the effluent out in the drain field, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1000 gallons tank, installed.
How much would it cost to hook up an existing septic? Looking at a house that has a septic onsite but it’s not currently hooked up to the house.
Does this all have to be below frost line?
Put a 1000 gal. tank w/distribution box w/300 ' of leach field for my 3bdr.1i/2 barh modular home in the late 80's for just under $2000, Including labor my how
prices have changed !
Here in Virginia it cost over $2k just for the soil work. They don't do "perk" tests here, but rather require a soil scientist to evaluate the soil by inspecting the soil makeup, layers, ground water, etc. Once the soil work is done, it goes to the county for approval...another $650. No DIY allowed, a certified septic installer has to do the work. Once completed, the soil scientist comes back out to inspect...then back to the county for approval. Very expensive.
Septic is one of the few regulations that I support wholeheartedly. A pipe to the backyard, really.
Wow, that drain field is way over kill
Any codes or depth requirements for frost level?
Хорошее решение
That's a huge amount of space, looks like its over an acre for the system. What if your lot is small??
16:45
It looks the drainage area is almost the house area?
Question… if they decided to put up say a pool house with a sink and bathroom, could they tap into the septic? Like with a Y pipe or something?
Should be ok. Has to go downhill into the tank first.
My county requires you use their list of certified installers list no diy then they inspect
I have to build a lagoon system. Any cost estimates available? Midwest, KC, MO area. Thanks!
Did you ever get a price or did you complete with a price?
ну она же уже работает год! почему вы не показали её после эксплуатации?
In puerto Rico they can do that for around 4000 here in United States everything in expensive because people pay that amount they dont have a clue how much money they are putting in the pockets
Seems to be over kill based on how we used to do it here in NC years ago? I am sure this is based on EPA/county regulations. I assume you cannot drive vehicles or work equipment over the drain field?? If so you need to take that into consideration right? I also assume you can't plant trees, shrubbery or a garden over the drain field, right??
How do you decide on the size of the tank?
You don't. After the perk test the government will tell you what set up and size you need.
Get info
Thanks!
15k that is crazy .how about installing 21 century septic system. in EU gravity systems is not legal any more and I totally agree on that because gravity system dos not clear any thing dose not kill bad bacteria just separating liquid from stole. now days is not good enough.
Shes so pretty
When we had ours installed in 2001 with gravel pipe, it cost $3800.00 total with them installing! There is absolutely no reason for it to cost three to four times more now other than greed! Wake up America!!!!
The dollar was worth mkre and good were cheaper
@@ImYourHucklebery117 then why hasn’t pay increased the same? Wages now are not too far off what they were in 2001. But everything cost 4x more. Then they force you to go overkill on everything to make it “code”. They wanted me to install a 4500 gallon sewer with an 400’ drain field for a 3 bedroom house all because it had a tiny house in my back yard with the toilet in the plans to be connected on the main house sewer. When a 1000 gallon septic and 75-100’ would last me my whole life and then some.
That was almost 25 years ago. The house I bought for $60K then is worth $320K now, the car I could buy for $20K would be $40K now.
Times change, and so do the code standard for sceptic systems.
It's called inflation. It's a silent tax that hits the poorest the hardest.
Gravel back then was 250 a load is now 750 alot has changed. Unfortunately
IT COSTS THAT MUTCH TO INSTALL A SHIT TANK?????
