Septic System Locating & Video Camera Services
Non-invasive tank locating and in-line video camera inspection — find the problem before you dig.
(256) 504-9653
If nobody knows where the tank is, or a line keeps backing up for no obvious reason, digging blind is expensive. We use electronic locating equipment to pinpoint tank lids, line runs and field line layout, and push a video camera through the line to see roots, bellies, offsets, collapses and blockages in real time. You see the footage, we mark the ground, and any repair that follows is targeted rather than exploratory.

Common questions
FAQ
- Can you find a tank with no records?
- Yes. Electronic locating finds tanks and lines on properties with no as-built drawings, including older rural systems.
- Do I get a copy of the camera footage?
- We review the footage with you on site and can supply stills or video on request.
- Will locating damage my yard?
- No. Locating is non-invasive; only the access lid is uncovered if inspection is needed.
- What Is a Septic System?
- A septic system is an underground wastewater treatment system. It is often used in areas that do not have access to a public sewer system. Instead of sending wastewater to a city treatment plant, a septic system treats and disposes of wastewater on the property.
- What Happens Inside the Septic Tank?
- The septic tank is a large, watertight container buried underground. It may be made from concrete, fiberglass, or plastic.
- How Does the Septic Drain Field Work?
- The drain field is where the final stage of wastewater treatment happens. It may also be called a leach field or absorption field.
- What Role Do Bacteria Play?
- Septic tanks contain natural bacteria that help break down waste. These bacteria reduce some of the solid material and help the treatment process.
- What Can Cause a Septic System to Stop Working?
- A septic system may develop problems when one or more parts become clogged, damaged, overloaded, or worn out.
