How to Determine the Location of Your Septic System
Locating your septic system can be challenging, especially if it’s been years since the system was installed. While it’s possible to attempt locating your septic tank on your own by following the main sewer line, we recommend calling a professional to ensure accuracy. The septic tank is typically located 10 to 20 feet away from the building’s foundation and can be the first part of the system you’ll encounter. A professional technician at Capital City Septic Services can quickly identify the tank’s location and ensure the rest of the system is also found.
Locating Other Parts of Your Septic System
While you might be able to find the septic tank by following the sewer line, other components of your septic system are not as easy to locate. These can include the:
Pump tank – Essential for systems that require pumping to move wastewater.
Distribution box – Directs wastewater to the drain field evenly.
Dry well – A reservoir for excess wastewater.
Drain field – A crucial part of the filtration process.
Mound system – For properties with unsuitable soil for a traditional drain field.
To accurately find these remaining components, it’s best to enlist the help of a professional. The team at Capital City Septic Services has the expertise to locate all aspects of your septic system, ensuring no part is overlooked.
What To Do After Locating Your Septic System
Once you’ve identified the location of your septic tank and other system components, it’s essential to keep track of this information for future reference. We recommend:
Creating a map of your yard: Mark the locations of your septic tank and its components.
Setting physical markers: You can place flags, posts, or even discreet garden features like a statue or birdbath to help you easily locate your system again.

Fantastic! I called atc7:44 and they had the job completed by 9:30!
The guys were courteous, efficient, and cleaned up afterwards so that I couldn't even tell they were there...except that my septic tank was no longer overflowing. How easily a critical situation was resolved!
