Often when we go out to a property with an old septic system, everything is buried. The only way to find anything is with the drawing that the inspector made when the system was installed. More often than not, the drawing on the right is what we have to go off. This was done in 1976, scratched on the back of another sheet of paper. Sometimes there are not any directions, distances, labels, etc. The drawing on the left is the one I made for the replacement system at the same address (the original system is in the upper left-hand corner). a bit more detail. It's scary to think what may be out there underground (abandoned septic tanks, cess pools, hand-dug wells...
Maybe in your own backyard!
