Even when your septic system seems to be working flawlessly, it’s still important to schedule an inspection every 1-3 years. You will also want to schedule an inspection if you suspect something might be wrong with your septic system or are preparing to move to a new property with a septic system. Here is what our septic inspections typically entail, so you can know what to expect.
- Locating the essential parts of the system: The first step of our septic inspections will be to locate the essential parts of your septic system. We will take the time to locate your septic tank, distribution box, and leach field and check for any issues surrounding those areas.
- Verify waste and liquid levels: The next step in septic inspections is to verify the waste levels in the septic tank. We will check to see if it’s too full, leaking, or showing any issues. We will also check that the water is properly flowing from the house to the absorption area without any issues in your system.
- Cleaning and maintenance: Another part of septic inspections is maintenance. During this time, we will pump and clean your septic tank and check the tank for any cracks or other damage that could be negatively impacting the flow of your septic system.
- Check for absorption issues: Once we have pumped, cleaned, and inspected the septic tank, we will also inspect your drain field and leach field to check for any absorption issues or other issues. This will allow us to determine whether your drain field is functioning properly and adequately for your home’s amount of water use.
Should we find any issues during our septic inspection, we will take the time to provide the necessary repairs to keep your system in top condition. You can give us a call if you would like to learn more.
