A vampire is a being from folklore who subsists by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of the living. In European folklore, vampires were undead beings that often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive.
The Drain or Leach Field consists of a network of perforated pipes (or âlaterals) laid in gravel under the ground that allow the water to pass into the ground from the septic tank. In most systems this pipe consist of PVC or the newer chamber style field lines that have a higher surface area.
Because each home's leach field and septic system is different, pricing a leach field replacement is done on a case-by-case basis. As a ballpark, a backhoe operator can excavate about 9.5 linear feet of soil per hour to dig a new leach pit, while a typical installer can install about 12 feet of leach line per hour.
