Okay. More on my septic drain field. Had the truck come and pump the tank. It was over full of solids from my not having it pumped for last 6 yrs. Driver said that left solids get around baffle and flow out my drain field and plug it. He did an excellent job of rinsing and completely draining my 1000 gal. tank. So I now have about a month to figure out what to do. My drain field tile is only covered with about 4" dirt. Some places maybe 6" dirt. He said not only are holes in pipe plugged but also the pores in the gravel or whatever type media they used back in the day are probably also plugged. There is just wife and I living in this house anymore so not to much water use. Do you think I could make a 20" long drill bit and drill through the 4" cover dirt, right through top and bottom of 4" tile and then down through gravel? Do this about every foot on both the 150' tile lines. What size bit should I make? I don't want dirt to wash into the hole I drill on top of tile. Would 1/2 inch be to big?
