Default septic tank question


Tony wrote:
Can anyone give me a rough idea on the distance from a 4" diameter
inspection pipe to the septic tank cover on a 1000 gallon tank? I've got
such a setup at my house where I can see the inspection pipe protruding
out from the ground roughly 10-12' from the house foundation and I was
trying to get an idea as to how far from that pipe do I have to start
digging around for the cover.

Thanks in advance.

That pipe may very well be a clean out pipe and the distance from it to
the tank can vary many feet.. Best thing is get a rod that you can
probe with an locate the tank with. Unless your in a climate where the
tank is deep below frost line. Then you may have to use a camera set up
..
