    The septic system is getting a highly engineered alternative to the traditional stone-and-pipe leach field installed in backyard trenches. These louvered subsurface chambers disperse wastewater much more efficiently, adding greatly to the life of the system and eliminating the traditional overflow headaches. Bob checks out how the pre-cast basement entry stairs were installed onto the foundation and gets a look at a new maintenance-free composite bulkhead door.
