The Importance of Knowing Where Your Sewer Line Is

Knowing the location of your sewer line can help you avoid accidentally damaging it during landscaping, construction, or other activities. If you need to repair or replace your sewer line, knowing its location will make the process much easier and less disruptive.

Ways to Locate Your Sewer Line

• Contact the Previous Homeowners

If you have access to the previous homeowner, contact them and see if they can help. You can find contact information of previous occupants in your deed and municipal tax records.

• Review Property Records

There’s a wide range of property records that may contain information about the location of your sewer line. These include building permits, property surveys, utility records, and septic inspection reports. If you have access to any of these property records, you can review them to see if they include the desired information.

• Locate the Sewer Cleanout

The sewer cleanout can give you an idea of the approximate location of your sewer line. You’ll want to look for a cap protruding from the ground (usually a round, plastic, or metal cap). The sewer cleanout is usually located near the curb or sidewalk. Do a bit of searching around your home, and once you locate the sewer cleanout, you can use it as a reference point to estimate the location of your sewer line. If you need help, get in touch with a nearby plumbing repair service.

• Request Help from the City Government

Another easy way to find your sewer line is to call or visit the local city maintenance office. Municipalities usually have a sewer map of your neighborhood, and they can help you locate where your sewer line is. A simple phone call or trip to the city government office can save you all the hassle of digging or hiring a professional to locate it.

• Hire a Septic Professional

If you still have trouble locating your sewer line, reach out to trusted sewer repair experts for help. Sewer line technicians have the specialized tools and knowledge to locate your sewer line accurately and efficiently. Hiring septic professionals to help you find your sewer line will save time and hassle.
