Septic System Locating

We use septic system locating to identify tanks, access lids, lines, distribution boxes, cleanouts, and drainfield features. For Elkhart IN property owners, that information helps plan service access, excavation, and work around buried septic components.

Sewer Camera Inspections

We guide camera equipment through accessible sewer or septic piping to view the interior. Sewer camera inspections help us document visible buildup, roots, blockage points, cracks, shifted pipe, or collapse indicators and explain the work those findings may require.

Visible Conditions and Next Steps

We explain the visible findings and document significant conditions with comments and photographs when applicable. Those findings provide a practical basis for maintenance, further diagnostics, septic system repairs, or separate hydro jetting to clean a restricted line.

Our Locating and Camera Process

Start With the Question and the Available Access

Discuss the Property and Concern

Before septic system locating, we ask about the problem, visible lids, recent work, access restrictions, and any planned pool, addition, purchase, or excavation. For a property in Elkhart IN, this helps us select a useful starting scope and identify details that may affect the visit.

Locate or View Accessible Areas

We use the appropriate locating or camera method based on the service requested, system conditions, and available access. A camera may require a reachable entry point and a line clear enough to produce a usable view.

Review What the Service Shows

We discuss the accessible components, visible pipe conditions, and practical next steps. Results can support system mapping, service planning, troubleshooting, or a conversation about cleaning, repair, inspection, or a separate diagnostic service.

Why Locating and Camera Work Matters

Septic system locating helps Elkhart IN property owners plan around buried components and gives service work a clearer starting point. Sewer camera inspections show visible pipe conditions that can guide cleaning, repair, and diagnostic decisions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben and company came out today and did a few repairs on my septic as well as a pumping. They came in a $100 cheaper than originally estimated and made the repairs quickly. I would recommend them for either pumping or repairs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake and Ben at A&R Wastewater Management were amazing! We needed immediate assistance with our Sewage Pump/float and they were fast, efficient and kind. They saved us a lot of money, whereas another company was looking to get over on us. Ben answered all of our questions & couldnâ€™t have been any nicer. We are very appreciative and will definitely use them for any of our future needs. We highly recommend them to anyone with Septic or wastewater problems. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had to have our Septic system relocated in our yard - A&R Wastewater Management did a fantastic job and was very reasonably priced considering the size of our project.  Jacob was great to work with; he was prompt and thorough with any questions we had, and they had the job completed in two days.  Jacob also came back the next day to go over all the tasks that were done and to ensure we were 100% satisfied with the job performed.  I highly recommend A&R Wastewater Management for any of your septic needs!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After several years of chemotherapy drugs being dumped into my septic system my septic field failed. Jacob designed and installed our new system. From the time Jacob started digging he had our system installed and back filled within 24 hours. Not only is Jacob the owner, but he did the installation too! I highly recommend A& R Waste Management for septic pumping or septic installation.

Locating and Camera FAQs

Answers Before You Schedule

Ask About My Property

What does locating cover?

Septic system locating identifies available evidence of tank and lid areas, lines, cleanouts, distribution boxes, and drainfield layout. The scope depends on access, records, and site conditions. We explain what was found and how the information may help with service, planning, or further diagnostics.

When are sewer camera inspections useful?

Sewer camera inspections are useful for repeated clogs, slow drains, suspected roots, an unknown line route, or concern about damaged piping. They let us view accessible portions of a line and document visible conditions. A clear result depends on suitable access and the condition inside the pipe.

Does camera work replace a real estate septic inspection?

No, camera work is a separate service from a standard real estate septic inspection. A property inspection can involve accessible tanks, components, records, and other system observations, while a camera focuses on accessible pipe interiors. We can discuss which service or combination fits your property question.

Can a camera see every part of my sewer or septic line?

No, a camera can only view accessible portions reached through suitable entry points. Standing sewage, heavy grease, dense roots, solid blockages, pipe damage, or limited access can prevent a clear view. We explain the visible conditions and any limits that affect the assessment.

Do public utility markings locate my private septic system?

Public utility markings do not replace a private septic locate. Privately owned tanks, lines, and components may not be included, and our locating service does not replace required utility coordination. Tell us about known underground features and planned excavation so access and the appropriate services can be discussed before work starts.

How should I prepare for a locating or camera appointment?

Keep the suspected system area and known access points clear of vehicles, materials, and temporary barriers. Secure pets and tell us about gates, landscaping, prior repairs, irrigation, propane, electric, communication, or other underground lines. Share available records and the reason you requested service.

Is hydro jetting or line cleaning included with camera work?

No. Hydro jetting and other line cleaning are separate services, even when cleaning may be needed before a camera can provide a useful view. We assess the access and visible conditions before discussing the appropriate next step. Hydro jetting is available when it fits the line condition.

How much do locating and camera services cost?

We provide free estimates, but septic system locating, camera work, inspections, and diagnostics usually have a cost. Pricing depends on the property location, access, requested scope, equipment needs, and conditions discovered during service. We explain expected charges before work when necessary conditions can be determined.
