Footing width should be twice what is on top. 8 inch block plus 4 inch face brick is 12 inches, footing should be 24 inches wide

Typically, a sewer would pass under the footing if the depth allowed. A septic line would pass through wall as they are much shallower. Here in Michigan our water needs to be 4 ft. deep. So on a full basement thru the wall, crawl space under the footing.

I recieved 12, yesterday.

On the systems I install we drill 1/8 inch hole in the pipe in pump vault or tank. When running it sprays out a little, when pump shuts off it drains the line. A little loss of pump efficiency, but beats frozen line. I am surprised you are getting temperatures that would freeze. Our access lid...

I bought the ez red pliers a year ago for 19.99, who would have guessed that prices would go down.

It was a hell of a good deal

Try seal all. JB weld on a well cleaned, drained oil pan did not work for me.

Ok, I've worked on septics for 45 years. Need to drill 1/16 or 1/8 inch hole in the pipe, inside pump tank above the water. It will spit a little effluent when pump is energized. When pump shuts off water drains, hole allows air to follow, so you only drain what is left in pipe. We do a lot...

Same here

Get an LB 1 or LB 2. They are great made by lazer alignment. I have a few, these are real work horses. No longer made but can be sourced though pawn shop, Ebay, or market place. The original employees just installed a new battery pack in mine last year. First battery pack lasted close to 30...
