I have never, ever had digging up the septic system cover be an additional charge... Now what my experience with this... Ok let see I have had septic tanks Pumped, in Vermont, Massachusetts, Washington State, New Hampshire, and even in Maine... never once, has there been a surcharge for digging up the cover.....
Now could that be that in all my cases the location of the cover, is known, so it is not a dig and explore arrangement... well yes that could be... but even so... to tell you that the "technician may add a 75$ fee" is just wrong... And makes me very skeptical of the companies business practices...

My wife scheduled our pump-out. She located and dug up the cover
