In this video
After the septic tank and field lines are installed and all connections are made, a state inspector conducts a final inspection to ensure compliance with all health and safety regulations. Once approved, a bulldozer is used to backfill the trenches and cover the septic tank. The disturbed area is then graded to blend with the surrounding landscape, ensuring proper surface drainage away from the house and the septic system components.
