Where to Locate Your Septic Tank Lines?
Homeowners can often be confused about locating their septic tanks and lines. Finding septic tank lines on your property is important for protecting the system itself. You can follow these simple steps to locate your septic tank lines on your property:
- Trace your plumbing drain lines going to the septic tank at the exterior of your home.
- Check for the land's natural slope to locate the leach field, usually opposite your house.
- Do not use heavy machinery, wrecking bars or jackhammers while locating, as it can cause damage.
- Before digging, try to locate your utility lines. Call us for any assistance if needed.
- You can also use the help of a septic tank probe to locate the pipelines leading away from it.
Advantages of Professional Septic Services
It's highly beneficial to get your septic system serviced by a certified company. Some of the advantages of having a professional installing and maintaining your sewage system are:
- As a contaminated (not-maintained) septic tank leads to significant health risks, you can choose to avoid them by calling us right away!
- It's possible to save through proactive septic tank maintenance, as it's possible to detect the early signs of leaking through such inspections. An ignored, leaking septic system can lead to severe structural damages.
- It's economical to maintain your existing septic system rather than replacing an ignored system with a new one.
- A well-maintained septic system adds value to your property.

Importance of Septic Services
Septic systems are designed to recycle the wastewater produced in your property back to the environment. The septic tank forms a critical aspect of the sewage system. Your septic tank should be properly installed and regularly maintained for it to function at its optimal level. If not, it can pose a considerable risk to your health, the environment, and your property.
How Often Does a Septic System Need to Be Serviced and Why?
We recommend you service your septic tank every one or two years. However, the frequency can vary depending on several factors like the septic tank's size and the number of people using the facility. By regularly maintaining your tank, it will save you a lot of money and protect your property's value. The maintenance of your septic tank won't be a hassle if you:
- Regularly inspect your septic tank system and pump it frequently.
- Use your household water efficiently as it improves its operation.
- Properly dispose-off your waste as it can choke your septic tank pipes.
- Maintain your drain field as it is an important part of your septic tanks.

Can You Build on Top of an Old Septic Tank?
There have been and are instances where homeowners accidentally or deliberately build over their septic tank systems. When you do so, you are adding to your expenses of finding and servicing the system. It is not recommended to build over any portion of your septic tank system.
When you build over your old septic tank – for instance, a wooden deck, pool patio, or driveway – you cannot locate it when it's time for inspection or pumping out your septic tanks. Even when you have to build over your old septic tank systems, you can do so by adding temporary structures, removable boards or trap doors under your decks to the septic tank lid. You must build and plan by keeping in mind the future maintenance of your septic tank systems.
