Engineered Leach Line
Jason Damm • September 11, 2019
Here is our crew installing an engineered leach line for Trinity Community Church in Clovis, Ca. As you can see the leach line rock is completely encased by filter fabric. Wrapping the leach rock in filter fabric like this can add longevity to the leach lines because it provides a barrier between the sand and the leach rock. The filter fabric barrier helps to keep the leach line from getting impacted with sand.
Another great feature about this leach line was that we added blue tracer wire in the trench. This will provide for an easy and precise method of locating the leach lines in the future. Any future repair work, landscaping projects or building projects will be made simpler by knowing the exact locations of these lines.
We won Classy truck of the year for 2017! When it came time to replace our septic pump truck, we went all out. Our goal was to build a truck that would stand out in our industry as well as on the street. We ended up winning the Classy Truck of the Year award from Pumper Magazine in 2017. Check out the video below from Imperial Industries Inc. who did an incredible job building us out dream truck.
This is our crew in action drilling a drain well in Coalinga for a drainage system.
Here is an example of our Vactor truck cleaning the sewer line in the street. The high pressure hose is self propelled by the specialized bullet shaped jetter head which produces a cone of water. The metal jetter head is propelled down the line much like a rocket. When the hose is pulled back the cone of water pulls all debris in the line with it. The loosened debris can then be flushed further down the line or captured and removed completely by the powerful vacuum hose depicted in this picture over the top of the truck cab. (*The vacuum is not in use in this photo but can be used simultaneously with the jetter hose.)
Here is an example of an large scale residential engineered septic system with deep leech lines to provide adequate drainage for this area with a lot of hard pan. What you see in this picture are the long trenches called leech lines which are filled with 1 1/2 inch river rock surrounding a horizontal perforated pipe. This allows water to flow from the septic tank and into these trenches. The water then peculates through the rock and back into the ground. This job was done in Fresno CA.
