Don't know where your septic tank is? You're not alone. Stewart Septic Services finds lost tanks, lids and lines all over Middle Georgia.
Plenty of homeowners have no idea where their septic tank is buried. Maybe the house changed hands, the records were lost, or grass and landscaping grew over the lids years ago. That's no problem — until the tank needs to be pumped or something backs up.
Stewart Septic Services provides septic tank locating for homes and businesses across Macon and Middle Georgia. We find the tank and its lids, and we can help you understand where the lines and drain field run, too.
Once we find it, we can mark it for the future or install risers so you never have to hunt for it again.
Knowing where your tank is saves time, money and your yard.
The tank has to be found and opened before it can be pumped or inspected.
Additions, pools, fences, driveways and sheds shouldn't go over a tank or field.
Tree roots and heavy equipment can damage tanks and lines.
Know where the system is on a property before you close.
Driving heavy trucks or equipment over a septic tank or drain field can crack the tank and crush the lines. Building a deck, patio or addition on top of one can make future service nearly impossible.
Knowing exactly where your tank is also makes every service visit faster and less disruptive. Instead of probing all over the yard, we can go straight to the lids.
If you're buying a home with a septic system, locating the tank is a smart first step before an inspection.
Septic tank locating from Stewart Septic Services includes:
Look for where the main sewer line leaves the house, check any old property records or permit drawings, and look for slight depressions or patches of different grass. If you can't find it, give us a call.
Yes. Tanks covered by grass, landscaping or soil are common, and we locate them regularly.
