That does create a huge problem for the septic contractor. We need access. Not just a few boards removed. If we can only remove a few boards, we are limited in our cleaning ability. We need room to remove all the waste from the tank. Liquid and solids.

Septic tanks in the long run are more cost effective, running about 3,000 dollars. There are no water bills, and costs about 100 dollars to pump it. I believe it should always be checked. 🙂
What size opening (say 2 feet by 4 feet) is minimum for allowing access under a deck for routine cleaning? And, should the hatch be directly over the septic tank, if possible? Can anyone give me a rough idea?
Hi Richard,
2X4 foot should be sufficient. But your septic tank could have many access lids. Be sure to contact a local Septic Inspector to make sure you are not covering up a critical access plug. $110 is cheap compared to having to cut up an expensive deck, and we have to do it all the time.

Do you know anyone that does this in Tennessee? We would like a deck over ours.
I am sorry, I don’t. That’s a super long ways away from Washington State. 🙂
