Locating Your Septic System

---

Most septic lids are buried and need to be excavated or uncovered prior to pumping. Usually they are less then three feet deep, however if you have a basement in your home they can be much deeper. There are companies out there that can locate your septic lid for you and even excavate it, but they do charge. The cost can vary depending on what exactly you need from a couple hundred dollars to a couple thousand. Luckily there is a free resource that can help you locate your own septic tank and septic lid. Your local county health department should have record of where your septic system is and can provide that information to you with quick phone call.
