The septic tank lid for your property can typically be found by looking for a rectangular or circular cover on the ground near the septic tank. It is usually located a few feet away from the tank and may be buried under soil or grass. You can also refer to your property's septic system diagram or contact a professional for assistance in locating the lid.

it is more than likely that your absorption trences are not working so the effluent is not draining from the outlet of your septic tank some trenches only last 2 to 3 years if the soil is clay. or it may be the drain has been laid to flat from the toilets to the septic tank. flush the toilets and look down the inspection openings on the lid of the tank if it flows into the tank it is not your drain but the trenches on the outlet of the septic tankANS 2 - It's possible you have a blockage between house and first septic pit. Pull the cover and watch the inlet tube as someone flushes. If water doesn't gush right out, you definitely have a blockage between there and house. ( I'm assuming you take care of your septic system, and it it does not need to be pumped - or else a full tank will be the problem. )
unlock the car and push the gas tank lid.
If the tank was full, the line going to it may have backed up and needs to be cleaned. If it worked for the last month and is now backing up, the lateral field may be full which means the tank cannot drain. Pull the lid on the septic and see if it is full again.
