Septic Inspection
As a homeowner, it’s essential to ensure that every part of your home is functioning properly, including your septic system. Just like other components of your home, your septic system requires regular care and maintenance to prevent costly repairs or failures. Schedule a septic inspection regularly to catch any potential issues early and keep your system running smoothly.
What is a Septic Inspection?
A septic inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your septic system to ensure it is functioning efficiently and safely. It involves examining key components such as the tank, pipes, drain field, and overall system performance to identify any signs of damage, clogs, or potential issues. During the inspection, professionals also check for proper waste breakdown, leaks, and potential hazards that could affect your home or the environment.
Regular septic inspections are vital for early detection of problems, preventing costly repairs, and ensuring the health and longevity of your system.

Tank Inspection
The technician opens the septic tank to inspect its interior, measuring sludge and scum levels to determine if pumping is needed. They also check for signs of damage, such as cracks or leaks in the tank walls, which could lead to serious system issues if left unrepaired.
Drain Field Evaluation
The drain field is inspected for signs of failure, such as pooling water, soggy areas, or strong odors. These issues can indicate system overload or improper drainage, and the technician may use dye tests or other methods to ensure wastewater is being properly filtered and absorbed into the soil.
Pipe and Connection Check
All pipes and connections between the house, tank, and drain field are examined for problems like clogs, leaks, or root intrusion. Identifying these issues early prevents blockages or backups that can lead to significant damage or costly repairs.
Final Report
The technician provides a detailed report summarizing their findings, including any existing problems or potential risks. They will also advise on necessary maintenance, repairs, or pumping schedules to ensure your septic system remains efficient and in good working condition.
