In my house, there is a right angle joint in the main drain line as the line exits the house to go to the septic tank. There is a removable cover. Is it likely that this is the clean-out point, or must there be an external access point also?
I thought that possibly I would have to uncover the tank to access the tank cover inorder to have the tank pumped out, which I'm told should be done every ten years or so.
Any advice?
