Locate Your Tank Using Your County AS-BUILT
An As-Built drawing is a diagram of the septic system and shows where the septic tank, Pump Tank (if there is one), the D-Box and drainfield lines are located as well as any other buildings such as sheds, garages, pools, etc on the property. King County requires that an As-Built is submitted with the OSS Inspection paperwork – If KC does not have an as-built on file that can be submitted, then Lilly’s Master Installer | Professional OSM’s must draw a Certified scale as-built drawing to be turned into KC with the Septic Inspection paperwork. Fee applies and will be quoted (if necessary) at time of booking.
If nothing is on file… then request a copy of your as-built by calling the health department directly at 206-477-8050. OR Lilly’s septic (OSSM) Inspection coordinator will obtain the As-Built via email (If one is available in the paper archives) from KC Health Dept for no charge after booking your Inspection appointment. If there is no as-built available, the county will require Lilly’s O&M Inspector to draw a certified As-Built to submit with the inspection paperwork.
