Routine septic inspections are crucial for maintaining the efficiency of your system and avoiding costly repairs. With our expert inspections, you’ll get peace of mind knowing your septic tank and drain field are working properly. Our team ensures everything is running smoothly by identifying potential issues early, so you can avoid unexpected problems and expensive fixes.
Why Are Septic Inspections Important?
A septic system operates quietly underground, which makes it easy to overlook until something goes wrong. Regular inspections allow you to catch small problems—like minor clogs or leaks—before they escalate into major issues like backups or drain field failures. Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, a routine septic inspection can save you time, stress, and thousands of dollars in repair costs.
How Often Should You Schedule a Septic Inspection?
We recommend having your septic system inspected every 1 to 3 years, depending on usage. Larger households or properties with heavy water usage may need inspections more frequently. An inspection will let you know if your septic tank pumping is due, or if there are any warning signs to address before they turn into costly repairs.
What’s Included in a Septic Inspection?
During our comprehensive septic inspection, we check every part of your system to ensure everything is functioning as it should. Our process includes:
Checking Tank Levels: We measure the levels of sludge and scum to determine if the tank needs pumping.
Inspecting the Drain Field: We assess the drain field for signs of oversaturation, standing water, or clogs.
Examining Pipes and Connections: We check for cracks, leaks, or blockages in the pipes leading to and from the septic tank.
Testing System Flow: We ensure wastewater is flowing smoothly throughout the system, from household fixtures to the drain field.
Signs You May Need an Inspection Sooner
If you notice any of the following issues, it’s best to schedule an inspection immediately:
Slow Draining Sinks or Toilets: This could indicate a clog or a full septic tank.
Foul Odors Around Your Home or Yard: This may be a sign of a leak or failing drain field.
Pooling Water in the Yard: Standing water near the drain field suggests that your system is oversaturated.
Unusual Sounds from Pipes: Gurgling noises could signal a problem with the flow of wastewater.
