I bought a lot in a development that was planned by Tower design for some community septic, and some individual septic. My lot was an outlier as the design was for my neighbors to have my drain field on their property with an easement. While purchasing the property I was shown a plat map displaying the said easement, but in actuality it was never recorded with the county. I had asked Tower several times if there was a way to have something on my own land given today's technology. I was told no, the only option is on the neighboring lot. After a consult with a lawyer and having no reasonable recourse I reached out to James at Basic Septic. He was a bit skeptical that this could be even be true. He came out and dug the first hole, a geological wonder of clay and malleable dirt mix that would later prove to retain water for over months. The second hole, a bit of the same on top, but below sand and soil suitable for a drain field. The third hole, absolutely perfect black sand. James and crew sent me a design that would work for the drain field but shifted my home into a position that was not ideal for us so I asked him to come reconsider a layout. Gladly he met on site and we walked through what our hope was given some compromises with the home location and a change of the reserve field. At this time he dug a new hole for the reserve location and what do you know, it was acceptable soil for a drain field as well. After seeing the foundation footprint it is amazing to see how much sand was covering the lot, in fact too much that I had to mitigate with crushed rock. I just really want to thank James and Basic Septic for their second opinion and actually doing work to solve a terrible situation. Also of note, their pricing is fair and while I didn't have any installation work yet to this point, I am confident that they will provide quality work. A testament to his character was validated by helping a low income family fix a septic system that had been in failure for many years, and he provided that at a charitable rate. Really a great man.
