if you can "witch" for water try that. find where the drain exits the house and start a grid pattern walking your way down the line till you get a really strong reading that will be your tank
at the plumbing store they sell a metal probe.
I don’t know if it is on the web. In Oregon you can go down to the county courthouse and they will give you a map of your septic and drain fleld.
There should be a plastic pipe that sticks up out of the ground, or it may be at the surface level, and capped off. This would be where your tank is located, and will be located between the drain field and your house. Some people will use a lawn ornament to hide the cap.
Some county clerk offices will have this information, or the state’s natural resources department will have maps with well locations and/or septic tank locations.
Good Luck
Walk around the house and look for a plastic cap. This is a clean-out. Walk out from the house about 3 or 4 feet, and you should be standing on the tank. You can take a metal rod and probe the ground to find it.
Hi! My aunt and uncle also live in Volusia County. I’m in Minnesota and work on septic systems for the government.
You probably won’t find the location of your septic tank and drainfield on blue prints. At least I haven’t seen them on too many.
In Florida, the Florida Department of Health (http://www.doh.state.fl.us/Environment/ostds/index.html) permits septic systems. They do have a website to find septic system information. Click on "Property Search" on this site: http://www.septicsearch.com/index.asp
However, it looks like this isn’t very complete information and quite likely won’t tell you where your system is located. I would call either the Dept. of Health or Volusia County (http://volusia.org/onestop/septic.htm) to see if they have more complete records on your property.
