Understanding the Importance of Septic System Inspection

Septic system inspection is a crucial, but often overlooked, aspect of home and commercial property maintenance. It ensures your septic system operates at optimum efficiency, keeps your property safe from health hazards, and aids in the protection of the environment. Regular septic system inspections help uncover minor concerns before they become major issues, saving you significant repair costs in the future.

Before the Septic System Inspection

Before we commence your first septic system inspection, it is beneficial for you to gather any information regarding your septic system. This includes its location, history of maintenance, previous issues, and any other relevant data. While this information is not mandatory, it will offer our team a clear picture of your septic system, facilitating a comprehensive and accurate inspection.

During the Septic System Inspection

The main aim of our septic system inspection is to examine the tank's structural integrity, ascertain the system's functionality, and identify potential issues. Our inspection process entails the following:

1. Locating the Septic System: We will begin by identifying the location of your septic tank and distribution box.

2. Inspecting the Tank: Following the location, we will uncover the tank and inspect it for visible signs of wear, damage, or leakage.

3. Examining the Levels: We will check the levels of scum and sludge to determine if your septic tank requires pumping.

4. Checking the Baffles or Tees: These components help keep solids from entering your septic field. We will inspect these for damage or clogs.

5. Pump Test: We may conduct a pump test to identify any potential drain field issues.

6. Final Assessment: If any areas of concern have been identified, we will discuss these with you and provide recommendations for the next steps.

After the Septic System Inspection

Following the inspection, we will provide you with a comprehensive report detailing the state of your septic system. This report covers the condition of the tank, the levels of scum and sludge, the condition of the baffles or tees, and the overall system functionality.

If we identify any issues during the inspection, we will discuss the necessary repairs or maintenance with you. Regular inspections allow for early detection of problems, mitigating significant system malfunctions.

Preparation for Future Inspections

Given that regular septic system inspections are vital for the maintenance and longevity of your septic system, preparing for future inspections is beneficial. Keep a record of all inspections, repairs, and maintenance as this comprehensive history will be invaluable for future inspections and may save you from costly, unexpected repairs.
