How It Works
Find My Septic LLC exists to build practical tools to understand, manage and operate critical infrastructure people rely on. Knowledge about these systems exists within our collective use in different environments, under different loads, and in the minds of those who work on them everyday. I hope to surface this in a manner useful to the sovereign individual. Here is what the site is, why it starts where it does, and what we are building.
1. What This Is
Find My Septic is a reference site and a growing set of tools for septic systems, public property records, and the practical knowledge that goes with them. You can look up a property, browse activity and contractors by region, read about how the systems work, and pull the forms you'd actually need to operate one.
2. Why This, Why Now
Nowadays people have no idea what is buried in their yard, how it works, when it was last looked at, or who to call when something goes wrong. This information exists in the energy and effort spent on the system through installation, servicing, and generally the space it occupies in ones mind, but as with most things -- it is lost in time.
This knowledge is at a premium as proved by the rising costs in systems that have existed since the late 1800s. More service is needed than there are hands to provide it. If we are willing to get our own dirty, we keep the cost down, the quality of service will increase, and we are no longer at the mercy of whoever happens to answer the call.
3. Why Florida
Find My Septic starts in Florida because that is where I have experience installing, inspecting, and working around the regulation of septic systems. It is the place I can speak from honestly.
Florida may be the world’s best-documented septic-system market, as the national leader in on-site system utilization and being among the leaders in public record access. For locals, records describing — a three-bedroom home, a forty-employee workshop, a neighborhood built on Candler sand — can aid in exact searches, but in time we hope to aid interested parties compare their own situations and adjust for local rules, soils, climate, and usage. The point is to gain a foothold from real examples, and surface local expertise to fill in the gap.
4. What We're Building
The site is organized around the kinds of questions an owner, buyer, agent, or installer actually has. What is happening near me whether now or in the past, who has shown the ability to be helpful, and how can I get by until I need a professional:
| Property records | Compiled public records for a parcel: wastewater designation, permits, registered ATUs, and nearby systems. Helpful when you are buying, selling, or trying to understand what utilities may be near you. |
| Directory | Installers, maintenance entities, and professional inspectors from the public record, organized by region so you can find someone near the system along with mapped activity of public records they are connected to. |
| Resources | Practical information guides, templates, forms from real world experience to help preserve the knowledge of today for a time and place when it is needed again. |
| Tools | Service reminder, private bidding, site plan helpers, water usage calculators, and more — small, specific tools that help people actually manage and operate these systems. Coming soon. |
5. What I Believe
- Septic systems are simple systems that serve a critical need and have a place in our future.
- People should understand the systems under the buildings they own, even if it's just the minimum.
- A good contractor is worth paying for. Knowing when you need one is worth more.
- The best resource we have is each other — better coordination will benefit us all.
Local rules, your soil, and the actual condition of your system always matter more than anything you read on a website. Talk to people who have done the work where you live, and verify anything important with your local regulators.
6. Closing Thought
We have everything we need right in front of us, we can not yet see it.
