Septic Tank Locating Services

Can't find your septic tank? Our electronic detection equipment pinpoints buried tanks quickly and accurately — no guesswork, no unnecessary digging.

Why You May Need Septic Tank Locating

Over time, septic tanks can become completely hidden under landscaping, driveways, patios, or home additions. Previous homeowners may not have documented the tank's location, and original construction records may no longer exist. Without knowing exactly where your tank is, routine maintenance like pumping, inspections, and repairs become much more difficult and expensive.

Our team uses professional-grade electronic detection equipment to locate your buried septic tank and access points — quickly and without tearing up your yard. We mark the location, document it for your records, and can often pair this service with a full septic inspection. We serve Putnam County, Westchester County, Dutchess County, Orange County, Rockland County, and surrounding areas throughout the Hudson Valley, NY.

When Do You Need Tank Locating?

There are several common situations where professional tank locating is essential:

Buying or Selling a Home Real estate transactions often require knowing the tank location. We can locate and document it for buyers, sellers, and agents.
Septic Pumping Needed Your pumping company needs to know where the tank is. We locate and mark it so they can get straight to work.
Construction or Landscaping Before any digging, grading, or building on your property, it's critical to know where the septic tank and components are located.
No Records Available If you've never had the tank located, or previous documentation has been lost, we can find it and create a permanent record for you.

What to Expect

Tank locating is a fast, non-invasive service that typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the property size, terrain, and depth of the tank. Our inspector uses electronic equipment to scan the ground and pinpoint the tank's exact position without unnecessary digging.

Once located, we mark the position on your property and can provide photographs and measurements for your records. If you need a full septic inspection at the same time, we can often combine both services in a single visit to save you time and money.
