: every system is different. every system is different depths, some contractors use outside cleanouts some dont. the only spot you may have a cleanout is where the main sewer exists the building on the inside of the foundation. outside of that the only one who can tell you what you've got in the ground is the man who did the site work!
This is true in my area, also. I do ask the septic people to put a clean out just outside the house - so down the road it is easier to locate just where a plug in the drainages system. Hill
