SEPTIC TANK - How to Locate and Open the Lid of a Septic Tank - Septic Tank Help and Tips

Ohhhh those pre cut squares..... my laugh box is on fire ! 🤣🤣

Is it just me or does it look like he just laid fresh sod down on top of it???

Step 1 dig up entire tank. Step 2 lay 2 inches of fresh sod on top of it. Step 3 poke a rod through the easily penetratable sod to locate the edges of tank. Steps 1 and 2 are crucial to the effectiveness of rod. Your welcome

Hey—thanks for the beautiful reminder that if I believe I can do something, I can. I am recently divorced and figuring out how to take care of what is now my semi rural property on my own. Sometimes it feels like a really big job. Thanks for reminding me that I am up to it!!!

Brother your a life saver, I had forgotten all about the vents on top of the house to find the my septic. You probably just saved me about $100 thanks a bunch!

Would be helpful to have one of these videos for people who live in desert - hard packed clay doesn't allow probes like you use here

Your videos are vary educational. Thank you for teaching such valuable information to home owners. Ontario Canada .

We have an aerobic system with 3 lids. For some unknown reason two of the covers had risers above ground and one cover was buried. I had to find the 3rd lid and managed to do so using this video. A piece of advice, wet the ground if it's pretty dry so that you don't have to jam the probe in extremely hard. In my case I jammed it into the pvc pipe that blows air into the mixing tank and poked about 7 holes in it...I was probing the length of the pipe thinking, this is the weirdest shaped lid ever!!! Thank goodness for jb weld plastic weld for pvc. Saved me the headache of having to repipe.

wow nice & ez..I've got home bought at auction goin on 20 yrs ago & a big black swamp 50ft from it which has steadily grown from neglect over yrs..I've probed from home to swamp,dug sum potholes...steeeerike!

Your the man Chuck!! I started watching you years ago, Now I make videos

trying to dig mine up.. its under HARD AS ROCK red clay/dirt.i've found one lid. but my dad tells me there are TWO.. so now im digging trying to find another dam lid

Awesome video. Now from that where can I tell where the leech field is. I need to find where the leech field is before having the pool installed

Hey Chuck great video and lot of good information, Thank you

I think maybe saying this is a example...being you can see sod is just thrwn on top

Kinda sounding like “Surf Guitar” at the end😊 thanks for the video. Much needed demonstration for this DIY er semi- retire who bought my first home in rural NC coming from California (what’s a septic tank…)

Thank you. This was educational.

Here in Volusia County Florida I have never seen a tank that shallow, ours are like 2/3 feet down. And $475 to pump out, maybe in Orlando but up here away from all the tourists we pay $200/210 tops.

I found my lid using this video. Yay

How can I locate, accurately, my leach field lines?

This video will help me a lot❗ Thank you❗🐾❤
