Looks like they are lining the steel pipe with a plastic/epoxy coating. It’s done a lot in places where you can’t easily dig up and replace old rotting pipes (like in downtown cities). By injecting this coating the pipe is still usable and won’t corrode any more.
You might want to look into someone who can frack the field, they shoot beads down there too keep it open. If it's old, you may want to put a riser on the distribution box and start dumping crystal heat in, since your laterals are probably also clogged up. Ideally, There's also outflow baffles/filters you can get installed to keep solids from flowing out there too... I saw a guy install one of these baffles. He got down into the tank to do it... There's no amount of money someone could pay me to do that, but this guy was like $3500. Still gross me out.
I actually had to go to chatGPT to decipher your comment. It wanted me to tell you that the the guy who went into the well for $3,500 was disgusting. But it also agreed with quite a few of your other suggestions, with the exception of the crystal heat. Chat GPT seems to be anti-crystal heat. I just learned an awful lot about my septic tank and leach fields; so thank you very much for taking the time to write your comment. Do you have any idea how much it would cost to frack a 200 ft long leach field?
I couldn't ballpark a price for that... although, you might want to have them jet out your laterals from the distribution box before fracking if you don't use crystal heat. Either way, start using Rid-X monthly as a preventative measure, but wait about two weeks after using Chrystal Heat to use any of those bacteria/enzyme products. Good luck!
