We moved in to our custom built house 1 year ago this month. We have a septic tank and water is coming out of the drain field. I called DHEC in and saw that it is almost clear fluid coming out. They advised taking the strain of my laundry, which is approx. 2-3 loads a day, off of the septic tank. To do this, I am having to re route the drain line (we have a foundation) outside the house and into the woods beside us to a rock bed. Luckily, the laundry room is right next to the garage where we can run the pipes. BUT, we are not plumbers and don't know exactly how to do this. We called someone in for an estimate and for 100' of pipe, it was $2100. Is this reasonable? Or would it be simple enough for a jack of all trades guy to do himself?
