Can't Find Your Septic Tank?

Septic tanks are often buried with no visible lid, and plenty of homeowners have never seen theirs. Here's where to start looking:

1

Check your records

Property records or original system drawings often show where the tank is.

2

Follow the main drain line

Find where the drain pipe leaves your house. The tank is usually out from that side of the home.

3

Look at the yard

A slightly raised or sunken spot, or grass that grows differently, can point to the tank.

4

Watch for pipes or caps

A cleanout pipe or riser cap sticking out of the ground is often a sign the tank is nearby.

Still can't find it?

Our septic tank locating service finds the tank and uncovers the lid, so it's ready for pumping, an inspection, or a repair.

Why Septic Digging Takes a Septic Company

We Know What's Underground

Tanks, lids, and field lines sit where a septic system needs them, and digging near them takes care. A crack in a tank or a crushed line can turn a simple job into a repair.

Septic Digging & Excavation Questions

  • How do you find a septic tank?

    We start with your property's layout and the main drain line leaving the house, then pinpoint the tank and uncover the lid so it's ready for whatever comes next.

  • How deep is a septic tank buried?

    It varies. Some tanks sit just under the surface, while others are buried a few feet down. We'll find out when we locate it.

  • Will digging tear up my yard?

    Digging does disturb part of the yard. We'll show you where we need to dig and explain what to expect before any work begins.

  • How much does septic digging cost?

    It depends on what we're digging for, how deep it is, and how easy the area is to reach. You'll get upfront pricing before any digging begins.

  • Do you do excavation work that isn't septic-related?

    Our digging and excavation work is focused on septic systems: locating and uncovering tanks, and digging for septic repairs and installations.

  • What areas do you serve?

    We serve residential customers in Chattanooga, TN and throughout Hamilton County, including Collegedale, Ooltewah, Hixson, and Middle Valley.
