Turd Farm


OK guys ......I sure could use a little help here.

I'm not in the septic biz, however I've helped with many (moons ago) and I've installed a few (not as many moons ago, but back there non the less)

I need to shoot a sweet figure in the Midwest.

Heres how the program lays out
Easy grade to none
4 leach lines 100ft
Dig and Install distribution box
Dig and Install tank
125ft of 4" PVC dig and install
Fill all

Of course I can come up with a figure using time and material and will. However, this is a case where some rate inputs will allow me to sweeten the pot enough to push for an early scheduling......in turn, Saving my a$$

Some input? ........I even welcome rates outside the Midwest.

Much appreciation in advance

Geez, we are paying $7.75/ton

Anyway, that job for me is somewhere around the $3,500-$4,000 range.

Questions one should consider.
1) is that 4/100' trenches or 100' of trench?
2) What size trenches.......width, height?
3) What size tank?
4) So that maybe 4 d-boxes depending on trenches
5) you say fill all, do you have to final grade and seed?
