I discovered that the septic tank is underneath the add-on to my house. There is about 18" of crawl space at that point. How do I get that pumped out? Could I put some 6" pvc throught the hatch and 90 degree the pipe out from under the house to have it pumped? I need to get a new system put in place but I feel the old tank should at least be pumped out.
professionals have long flexible hoses that will do the job. a small person may be able to get the hose to the cleanout pipe. tell them the layout when calling.

The guy that just pumped my tank could do it, but as suggested you should tell them what you have ahead of time. If the clean out opening is excessable they should be able to do it. Might cost a bit more for the extra effort. Most tanks have concret lids and that could be a challange in the crawl space.

Hopefully you can see the lids. If you cant than you may have an issue. Its not much fun laying on your side digging. It would probably save you alot if you locate the lids for your pumping company.Hopefully you didnt build your addition but if you did this will be a learning experience for you
