I bought a house a year ago and the septic drain line to the leach field froze and broke this winter. I have repaired the line however, I realized that the leach field is ultimately lower than the septic tank although the drain line has a change in grade along the way and the pipe is full between the leach field and somewhere near the change in grade. My leach field is approximately 600-700ft from the tank and I live in Colorado at 9600ft so the winter months are extremely cold. Is there a way to correct this problem without major renovations of the system?
The drain line is only about 18" deep where it froze so I was planning on bringing some fill to cover the line to about 40" although with the line full I am not sure this is the fix.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
