Finding homes with Septic Tanks

by qu4rk

Is there a way to find homes of residents that only have septic tank service? I'm really looking for the area. I don't need the address, it can be zip codes. Even if I have to contact city or county officials. I just don't know where to start.

I figured someone here may know the shortest route to finding this information.

Thanks

    I'd start with contacting the county health department. That's who controls it in my neck of the woods. Though, not all counties regulate it around me either.

    Each new septic tank in SC requires a permit from DHEC before they will let you have a building permit.

    Call a septic tank cleaning service and get the information.

    Start looking at MLS listings ( real estate for sale ) and you would be able to start to get an idea of what areas have and don't have public sewage.

    Goto the City office and request a map of the sewage lines. There is without question a map that will have this detail somewhere.. try engineering department.

      Do you really think a guy sucking shit out of tanks on a hot summer day is going to hand over a client list?

      Check the local DHEC office, they have a county database.

        This is going 2 ways... the client that qu4rk is needing this information for IS a shit sucker OR qu4rk is going to be pushing a product that could equate to a possible JV opportunity.

        So qu4rk could walk their way into killing 2 birds with one stone.

          As said before, the county, real estate agents, septic tank cleaners...

          You could also talk to appraisers and home inspectors.

          Again, the issue is, what's in it for them?

          In my area, you could look for unincorporated areas on county maps. You want the ones that are not small and surrounded by cities. You find the postal route they're on...

    Im a real estate investor, from the appraiser field. You can get all the info (now online) or better yet order lists(in minnesota .05 a name) of people with septic tanks!!

    Im a direct mail junkie and a dan kennedy inner circle member, and have been doing lists for years.
    Ive done mass mailing to people with septic systems for a comany that products septic cleanout bacteria, and heater blankets in the north.

    In Australia you can basically check out where there are water mains and sewage systems by calling anyone in a small town and asking them if they have council services.

    I'd go so far as calling local real-estate agents and saying "Im interested in purchasing in area X...oh...are they on mains supply or is everyone on tanks?"
