FAQs
How do I find my septic tank?In some cases, septic tank lids or risers are visible in the yard and easy to identify. In other situations, the system is buried and not marked at the surface. If you’re unsure, a professional locating service can quickly and accurately identify the tank and system components.
What does a septic tank lid or riser look like?
A septic tank lid or riser is typically a round or square access point made of plastic or concrete. Some are flush with the ground, while others extend slightly above the surface for easier access during pumping and inspections.
