Ok let me say this, while some people may routinely pay for septic covers to be dug up. This should be included with the cost of cleaning the septic system... We have ours done every two years at the camp, just to insure that we don't have a problem... As said previously it is cheap insurance...

I have never, ever had digging up the septic system cover be an additional charge... Now what my experience with this... Ok let see I have had septic tanks Pumped, in Vermont, Massachusetts, Washington State, New Hampshire, and even in Maine... never once, has there been a surcharge for digging up the cover.....

Now could that be that in all my cases the location of the cover, is known, so it is not a dig and explore arrangement... well yes that could be... but even so... to tell you that the "technician may add a 75$ fee" is just wrong... And makes me very skeptical of the companies business practices...
