Know the Field Layout
Locate tanks, distribution boxes, and leach lines before trenching. As-builts are often wrong—verify.
Spray Drift
Avoid spraying over septic mounds; wind carries moisture and salts onto components.
Root Management
Thirsty plants near lines invite roots. Choose appropriate species and irrigation methods.
Code and Health
Follow local setbacks—failures are expensive and hazardous.
