To the Editor: We have been out here for nine years, kicking, screaming, yelling about the subject of Zan Ewing’s article in the May issue of Pumper titled, “Be a Drainfield Detective.” Upon inspecting many septic systems, Ewing voiced the concern that “many septic systems have been replaced that were not failing ...”When we first started American Septic Service, this is what gave us the jump-start in real estate inspecting before the practice became popular. A real estate agent was advised of a failed system she represented and, you guessed it, it had a severed pipe at the outlet delivery.
