Like most everyone said as well....With an old system, you need to be careful. Many of them have clay and tar pipes and you can break them. You never should spread dirt of the top or change the elevations of an exisiting leach field. Those are all calced from soil perc tests and the depth they are set is pertainate to how well the soil percs out. I would make sure you get a damage waver signed by the owner, or bid the job on hand labor unless it is a newer system.
What used to be pretty easy has been turned into rocket science thanks to the EPA and many local governing bodies. Systems that were done for under $5,000.00 now cost $25,000.00 because you need engineers to design the sydtem, and, the company installing has to be licensed and bonded for that type of work.
It equates to big dollars and cents if you damage it.
The subject remids me of an old friend, he had a business pumping tanks...Had am MR-600 Mack with a 1,000 gallon tank painted dark brown. He called his business "Turd Busters" LOLOL
