What if I don’t know where my septic tank is located or if I even have a septic tank?
The Suffolk Health Department may have the location of your septic tank system. In some instances your land survey may indicate if your property has a septic tank and where the drainfield may be. Another option is to have a licensed sewage hauler assist you in locating your septic system. If you are unsure if you even have a septic system, the Suffolk Health Department or a licensed plumber should be able to assist you in the location and means of sewage discharge.
