I measured from two permanent features to where my access is. You should try that and right it down or make a diagram to keep with your documents. Mine is 15feet from nearest driveway corner and 12.5 from the next nearest corner.

Another technique is to bury a brick over the access, flush with the ground level. Sometimes though, these get moved by people (kids) who don't know what the brick is for.

I have my septic tank measured and drawn, as well as our well, and the drawings are on the wall of our mudroom, behind the door.

I live here... I am always Upthesaukee.

I had Lamprey inspect the system for a house I bough 5 years ago and they said all was fine.

Unbeknownst to them, I had to have it replaced as roots were growing in, pipes were crushed and lines were blocked.

I have done my research so please realize without getting a camera down in there, digging stuff up and getting in there, the inspection won't be able to tell the entire story 100%
