Leach Field Dilemma!

[wagne223]

It gets fun when you carefully keep vehicles off your leachfield only to be told 1-1/2 decades later that the "as built" is wrong and the field runs parallel to the house, not perpendicular out from it like they showed. Had cement trucks and dump trucks on it without knowing...and now I have an added run that goes where the as built showed it in the first place. I think one of our later projects finally has us all caught up on the documentation.

The as built also had the driveway wrong (front vs. end of house), but the tank and distribution box was where they said. Sigh.

That is a bad situation.

I know exactly where mine is because I had to have it replaced. It was left uncovered while waiting for the inspection.

Just went through this issue with a summer cottage my son bought.
Copy of an on file, year 2000 bank mortgage required "as built", was all wrong.
Lots of probing and digging to find the actual location.

Seems that happened often in ones, built back in the day. Our "as built" for couple of my parents was incorrect and the last house we lived in was wrong too.
