Why Find Your Septic Tank & Drainfield?

If you live in a rural area, somewhere off the grid, or otherwise are not connected to the local centralized sewer system, then you likely rely on an on-site septic system for treating waste and wastewater. As you might suspect, the maintenance of the septic system is wholly the property owner’s responsibility. Any contamination or damage caused by your septic system will be your liability. So, if you want to get the most out of your septic system without becoming liable for damages, then you must take great care of the system. How can you take care of the septic system if you do not even know where it is located though? Septic Connection is here to help with drainfield locating and septic tank locating in Greenville.

Locating the Septic Tank & Drainfield Yourself

We have a profound respect for property owners who like to take things into their own hands, and we are happy to help. Though we offer septic tank locating service in Greenville, we also have some tips on how to locate your septic tank and drainfield yourself:

  • Scan for Markers: Your septic tank should be marked by a cement marker the size of a manhole cover. Look ten or twenty feet away and scan for this marker, then follow the downward-most path and check for an empty, downward-sloping field. That field may be your drainfield.
  • Ask the Previous Owner: Chances are the previous property owner has performed maintenance and repairs. If you have their contact info, then call and ask for help.
  • Use the As-Built Diagram: The contractor who installed your system should have filed an as-built diagram at the local health authority. Either call the contractor or contact the health authority to request a copy.

Caitlin Best

Greenville, SC

We contacted septic connections yesterday due to a full tank that was causing a back up in the house. They were the only ones in area who could get to us, same day. Alex was sent out to us and I can not rave about him enough. He was so nice and knowledgeable. As first time homeowners we were curious of the process so he allowed us to watch and answer any questions we had. He even went above and beyond and helped up answer questions about our drain feild and it's location and gave us advice as we were not doing things properly, resulting in a gunked up septic tank. Did I mention it was dark and raining on him the whole time? He was all around fantastic! We will be using septic connections for all future business!

This was my first time using Septic Connection LLC for a pump out. I couldn’t be more pleased. The service technician was named Alex and he was very professional and knowledgeable. I will be using Septic Connection for all my future septic services.

David Brack

Alex responded same day to my call to have my tank pumped.  Affordable, knowledgeable, timely, and friendly service.  He answered all my questions and worked quickly.  I appreciate this company and Alex going above and beyond.  Will definitely use them next time I need my tank pumped or have other septic work to be done.  Thank you so much!
