Plumbing up the Septic Tank...Never thought it would be FUN! #plumbing #farming

What happens here

Carefully lower a long section of PVC pipe into the prepared trench. Guide the end of the pipe into the cleaned septic tank inlet. Once partially inserted, use a piece of scrap wood and your foot or hand to gently tap or 'hammer' the pipe into place, ensuring it is fully seated and securely connected to the septic tank. This process also helps align the pipe properly within the trench.

Goal: Place and secure the first PVC pipe section into the septic tank connection.
