Default I don't have too much experience with septic systems.

I saw what looked like a septic tank cover right next to this very

the ground falls off right after where this cover is so the only place
the septic tank could possibly be, I would assume, is under the house.
Is this possible?


Tanks aren't that big and could be a few feet beneath cover. Actual
tank cover is below cover you see. Doubt tank is beneath house as a
very old tank could collapse. Drain fields could be any where. I've
got neighbors that pump uphill to their fields.
