Thank you all. It is in a pretty rural area so we might be able to find the contractor but I'll see if the county has anything. You guys would love this house. Got it as a HUD right before the market took off and once the garage is set up the rent from that will cover the whole mortgage.

So I have a property that's getting its garage converted to a studio. Part of this is to add plumbing and so the plan was to tap into the existing septic line. The trouble is we can't find it. This house is an amalgamation of additions (from before me) and I worry that the back section of the house was built right on top of the tank. 

Is this something anyone else has seen? Is there some kind of tracing tool I don't know about that can help us figure out where the line goes? I half considered putting a gps tag on a fish tape and sending it down the cleanout but those things don't have great accuracy and I would want to know that path to more precision than six feet.
