I have attached a picture. White lines are my leach lines, ( they go behind that tree) red x’s are where I’m seeing sludge/pooling.
My concern is that 2nd line is blocked. I’ve had 2 companies come out, 1 guy put a ancient camera down it and said he didn’t know if he hit something or if his camera was just messed up (total waste of money) and another guy put a poker stick right where I think it’s blocked and said there was sludge so my field needed to be replaced. My question is would a field fail like this? Or would the pooling be at the end of each line like it is with the first line. The 2nd line after where I think it’s blocked is dry as a bone and even has dirt spots and not lush grass like the 1st line. Is there a way to check myself, take a shovel and follow the line, dig a couple of holes to see if it’s sludgy like the 1st line? I have a soil scientist coming out in 2 weeks to perk my land and design a new system but because of where it has to go I’m looking at getting a pump tank and yada yada yada, close to $25,000 depending what the scientist says. I know the simple answer is to just pay someone to come out and snake the line but it seems nobody in this area it equipped to do it and I’m not trying to shell out even more money to be wrong if there is a way I can just kinda figure it out on my own. Sorry this is so long just looking for some advice if it would be normal for a field to fail this way or if maybe I should be investigating this 2nd line. Thank you.
