Does it make any sense to consider in new construction to just dig the leach field trenches deeper, say 7 feet, put in the pipe and and then fill to the appropriate height for the septic lines. Would the moisture for the septic be a benfit? Also could you dig a deepr hole in the center of your basement and place pipe there an appropriate depth under an insulated slab? Newbie DIY just wondering.
thanks in advance for any replies.
The experts say not to put your geo lines under or near your septic lines. I have been to three training courses and they all addressed this issue and said to stay away.
As far as under your basement goes, you would need to be at least 3 feet under the slab and most houses need more pipe than could fit under your basement.
