How to find a Septic Tank?

Over time, septic tanks and other septic components can easily become lost due to changes in landscaping, transfer of property ownership, or simply incomplete records. Whether you need to get the tank pumped, you’ve recently moved into a new home, are planning a renovation, or need to comply with local regulations, it’s crucial to know the exact locations of your septic system components. Knowing where your septic tank, soil treatment area, and other parts are located can help you avoid costly repairs by preventing damage during property development and letting you know what parts of your property shouldn’t be driven over or built on.

Ruby Septic uses a combination of specialized tools and years of expertise to identify various septic system parts on your property. From the tank and pump chambers to the distribution box, clean outs, and soil treatment area (drain field or leach field), we’ll find everything you need to ensure proper maintenance and care. We will mark the various components, and provide you with pictures in a report detailing our findings for your records.

Installing Risers: Making Access Easy for the Future

Once we’ve successfully located your septic system, Ruby Septic offers a simple and effective solution to ensure future accessibility, septic tank risers. A septic riser is a durable, watertight extension that elevates the access lid of your septic tank, bringing it above ground level. This makes it significantly easier for you (and future service technicians) to access your septic tank for inspections, pumping, and maintenance.

Why You Should Consider Installing Risers:

  • Convenience & Time Savings: Once risers are installed, your septic tank will be easily visible and accessible, eliminating the need for future digging or guesswork. This makes routine maintenance much quicker and easier.

  • Prevent Future Damage: Risers prevent unnecessary damage to your landscape by creating a permanent point of access. No more digging up your yard every time you need service.

  • Long-Term Savings: Installing risers is a cost-effective way to protect your septic system. By making it easier to maintain and inspect, you’ll likely avoid bigger, more expensive problems down the road.
