The video begins by showing a dug-out area, indicating prior knowledge of the general septic tank location. The presenter identifies the septic tank lid, noting that his tank has two. He mentions needing a rough idea of the tank's location to start. He then uses a metal pry bar to probe the ground. By listening for the distinctive sound of the bar hitting the concrete lid, he identifies the precise location of the tank.
