Locating the Septic Tank & Drainfield Yourself
We have a profound respect for property owners who like to take things into their own hands, and we are happy to help. Though we offer septic tank locating service in Greenville, we also have some tips on how to locate your septic tank and drainfield yourself:
- Scan for Markers: Your septic tank should be marked by a cement marker the size of a manhole cover. Look ten or twenty feet away and scan for this marker, then follow the downward-most path and check for an empty, downward-sloping field. That field may be your drainfield.
- Ask the Previous Owner: Chances are the previous property owner has performed maintenance and repairs. If you have their contact info, then call and ask for help.
- Use the As-Built Diagram: The contractor who installed your system should have filed an as-built diagram at the local health authority. Either call the contractor or contact the health authority to request a copy.
