I had 2 Walnut trees cut down in my yard today.
There was so much going on, other than the tree guys being here, that I didn't think to tell them that the septic tank is right next to one of the trees.
As the logs were being cut and dropped to the ground, they were landing over one of the tanks. The logs are different sizes, but average 14"-20" across and from 24"-30" long.
My question is - Is it likely that the tank would be damaged? How strong are those tanks? They're made of cement.
Oh, and while I'm at it, I have another question.
It's possible that some of the logs landed over the pipe that leads from the house to the septic tank. Do you think that pipe would be underground far enough to where it would not have been damaged?
I don't know if this matters, but the ground is soft from all the rain we had last week, but not wet. The soil is loamy.
Thanks in advance for your help.
