Septic Augers and probes

[jeffrey8902]

Anyone know where I can oder or find these? The ones I did find were very expensive.

Thanks

When I used to probe drain fields for a relocation company I simply made one out of metal dowel from Home Depot. Boy, was that a long time ago. I disclaim them now.

Try this company. It think it is called D&T Tools. I may have the name wrong but the number is correct. Their number is 800-521-6893. They have a catalog with all types of septic system tools.

Around here you can find them by the barrel at any plumbing supply house.

Mark,

Remember the inspector in your area that used to check septic fields by flushing a 1/2lb of blue dye down the stool, then running a zillion gallons of water, put on his golf shoes and then a pair of white socks over the shoes and walking around the yard writing notes about how blue his socks were?

I don't think he is around anymore!

He's out of business now Les, thank god. He also checked heat exchangers by punching a hole in the duct above the furnace and used a garden spayer to soak the heat exchager, then he looked for water bleeding through cracks.
