What changes in Baldwin
West of Baldwin the ground is flat and the water table comes up in the wet months, and a tank replaced there is set so it does not float and connected to a field sized generously and set high. Where the old system was built to the minimum in a dry decade, the replacement is designed to today's rule and today's water table, and the county in Jacksonville permits and inspects it.
Lots are large, so the setback from the well is rarely the constraint, but it is measured, because every Baldwin property outside the town line has one.
How the job runs
How a tank is replaced
The failed tank is pumped and inspected so the replacement is quoted from what is seen. The permit is filed with the county environmental health office, with the new tank sized to the bedroom count. The drain field is inspected honestly before the new tank is connected to it. The new tank, precast concrete or polyethylene depending on access and groundwater, is set level with risers to grade and inlet and outlet connected. The old tank is pumped, crushed and filled, or removed. The county inspects before backfill and the record is closed. Financing through Hearth is available.
Straight answers
Septic Tank Replacement questions from Baldwin
Why does a Baldwin tank need special backfill?
Because a high water table can float an empty tank. It is set and backfilled to prevent it.
Is the old field reusable?
If it accepts flow. On this ground many older fields were built too small, and the inspection says.
