The tank does not have to be near the house, especially if you are on a large lot with plenty of room. Our tank is 60 feet from the house. Try to locate the original owner of the house, or ask the neighbors if any of them remember where the tank was placed. The septic tank may be located by probing with a metal rod, following the pipeline from the house or by listening to the noise a plumber's snake makes when it contacts the tank inlet. Care must be utilized during the probing as it may damage the inlet tees or piping. Making a water probe may be a great help locating a septic tank. We use them all the time. Get a ? X 6’ galvanized water pipe, threaded on one end. Purchase a pipe to hose fitting and hook up to your garden hose. Turn the water on and sink the probe into the ground. The water will do the digging. Set up a grid pattern and probe every foot or two until you find the tank. Legally, septic tanks can be no closer than 5’ from the house, so begin 6-7’ from the house. The top of a concrete septic tank is about 5’x 8’ and is usually 2-4’ beneath the surface. Typically, the septic tank is in the front yard. I said TYPICALLY, so don’t be surprised if the systems in the rear yard or under a patio slab, etc. We’ve seen um everywhere. If you smell the problem, this probably indicates the leach field beyond the septic tank is probably saturated also. It might need replacement.
