To determine if a septic tank has been removed or covered up, you can look for signs such as a change in the ground's surface, like settling or unusual soil compaction in the area where the tank was located. Additionally, check for any access points like manholes or inspection ports; if they are absent, the tank may have been removed. You can also consult property records or previous owners for documentation about the septic system's status. Lastly, hiring a professional to conduct a thorough inspection can provide clarity on the situation.
If the old tank is still in place and usable, probably not. If it has been removed then yes. Regulation may have changed and in some places septic tanks may no longer be allowed.

Generally no. This is a maintenance item that builts up over time and does not happen suddenly and accidentally.

Otherwise it would not be covered and no repair of the septic tank or sewer system would be covered at all.
In order for a homeowners policy to cover a situation, the damage must be from a covered cause. I cannot think of any situation where a covered cause could damage a septic tank. Septic tanks and drain fields are usually damaged by tree and vegatation roots, pressure due to vehicles running over them, and lack of maintenance. None of these are covered causes.
You should have a pumper inspect your system to determine if the accumulation of solid waste is too high and needs to be removed. You should not inspect the tank yourself since the gasses that accumulate in the tank can be lethal. The cost of a professional septic tank inspection can vary widely, depending upon where you live and what size and type of septic tank you have. It may be best to call the manufacturer of your specific septic tank or visit their website to determine the price range of such an inspection.

The septic tank lid is typically located in the yard, near the area where the septic tank is buried underground.
An overfilled septic tank can cause backups in a sewer line, causing many problems in a plumbing system. If a septic tank has overflowed, it is usually clogged with excessive organic debris. A septic tank cleaner can be a good first step when treating a septic tank overflow. Septic tank cleaners contain natural bacteria and enzymes, designed to break down organic material in human waste. Excessive disposal of bleach and detergents into a septic line can kill these bacteria, preventing the breakdown of septic waste in a tank. If a septic cleaner doesn't clear a tank after a week, it may be necessary to use a professional septic tank cleaning service.
