      The plumbing inside your house can

    indicate the general area in which the   

     buried components of the system lie.

 

      Look for a large pipe (4" in diameter)

that protrudes through the foundation. This 

   is the waste or sewer line and the septic 

        tank and or cesspools are located 

     somewhere along this pipe outside the 

        house. This give you an indication

              as to where the system is

               in relation to the house.  

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

How to Locate the Septic System

 

 

 

 

 

In most cases, there is a diagram of the  system on your property survey; the septic tank indicated by a rectangle and the cesspool by a circle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the cesspool is buried beneath a lawn, there is often a tell-tale, circular area of deep green and luxurient growth directly over it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the exact location of you system stiil eludes you, it's a good idea to have professionals locate the system for you.

 

 

 

 In general, it''s a good idea to know

where all the buried utilities on your property are located, and especially so if you are planning a project involving excavation or paving. It's also very important to take measurements and diagram the location of the utilities. It can save you a ton of money and aggrivation.
