- Whether the property is on septic or city sewer, if you know
- What is happening, which fixtures are affected and when it started
- The date of the last septic pumping or service, if known
- Where the septic tank lids are, if you know
- Access notes: gates, steep driveways, parking for a service truck, pets in the yard
- Any records: permits, as-built drawings or past inspection reports
- For a sale, the closing date and the agent's contact details

Preparing for a septic visit
How to Find Your Septic Tank Lid Before the Visit
To find a septic tank lid, start with the property records, then follow the main sewer line out from the house and look for risers, lids or a mound in the yard. Knowing where the lid is before the visit saves time on site, but it is not required, and the team can plan around it if you cannot find it.
Getting the property ready for the truck
Septic pumping and line work happen from a service truck, and the hose or equipment has to reach the tank or cleanout. Before the visit, unlock any gates, move vehicles out of the driveway and away from the tank area, and keep pets inside. If the lids are under a deck, landscaping or a stored item, let the team know when you book so the visit can be planned around it. On rural properties, mention a long or steep driveway, a soft shoulder or a low bridge, since those decide which truck can reach the site.
Safety first
Do not remove a septic tank lid yourself or lean over an open tank. Septic tanks hold harmful gases, and an unsecured opening is a fall hazard for children and pets. Keep vehicles and heavy equipment off the drain field, since its pipes sit close to the surface.
Check the property records
Look for a septic permit, an as-built drawing, a past inspection report or a pumping receipt. These often show where the tank sits and how far it is from the house.
Find where the sewer line leaves the house
Look in the basement, crawlspace or along the foundation for the main drain line or a cleanout. The tank is usually in the same direction, out in the yard.
Look for lids, risers or ground clues
Some tanks have risers with lids at ground level. Others are buried, but a slight mound, a low spot, or a patch of grass that grows differently can mark the spot.
Stop and call if you cannot find it
Do not dig blind near the tank or drain field. Tell the team you could not locate it when you call, so the visit can be planned for that.
If sewage is backing up
What to Do While You Wait for Help
A sewage backup gets worse every time water goes down a drain, so the first step is to stop adding water. Then keep people and pets away from the wastewater and call (541) 396-4804.
- Stop running water: hold off on toilets, showers, the dishwasher and the washing machine.
- Keep children and pets away from any area where wastewater has surfaced, inside or outside.
- Avoid touching sewage without gloves, and wash hands thoroughly afterward.
- Note which fixtures backed up first. That detail helps the team tell a septic problem from a sewer line problem.
- Call (541) 396-4804 and describe what you are seeing.

Contact questions
Questions About Contacting Econo Rooter Services
What should I have ready when I call Econo Rooter Services?
Have the property address, whether the property is on septic or city sewer, a short description of what is happening and when it started, and any records such as the last pumping date. For a home sale, also have the closing date and the agent's contact details.
How do I find my septic tank lid?
Start with the property records, since a septic permit, as-built drawing or past pumping receipt often shows the tank location. Then find where the main sewer line leaves the house and look in that direction for risers, lids or a mound in the yard. If you still cannot find it, tell the team when you call.
Should I call or use the online request form?
Call (541) 396-4804 when something is happening right now, such as sewage backing up, wastewater surfacing in the yard or a treatment unit alarm. Use the request form for anything that can be scheduled, such as routine pumping, an inspection for a home sale or a quote for a repair or new system.
Can I get a quote without a site visit?
Most septic and sewer quotes depend on conditions that have to be seen, such as tank access, the location of a blockage or the condition of a line. Econo Rooter Services quotes after assessing the specific property, and the details you send in the request form help the team plan that visit.
How do I request a real estate septic or sewer inspection?
Send the request form or call (541) 396-4804 with the property address, whether the property is on septic or sewer, the closing date or inspection deadline, and who should receive the findings, such as the buyer, seller or agent.
