We are building a house (ranch on a basement) and really want the septic tank and lines to be on the basement side of the house so we don't have to have a pump. We've had the soil guy out twice. The land percs better in the front but I'm pretty sure that would entail having lines under the driveway and also a pump. The soil guy did some tests from where the basement will open at and while it's not as good as the front he said it would work. When we got the septic permit they county showed everything in the front. We are supposed to meat with the county and we're also trying to get the soil guy out again to drill more holes. My question, is having or not having a pump a big deal? And what about the lines under the drive? Our son had to have a pump installed (post construction) and it has caused problems and that's why we're stressing on the pump issue. Thanks!
