Septic System Inspection

Septic System Inspections

Our video inspections are very thorough and are conducted using state of the art color sewer camera equipment. Our inspectors each have over five years experience. Our only business is the inspection and preservation of existing septic systems. Not only do we inspect the septic system, we also educate you about the proper care and use of the system. We will check the following conditions:

  • Condition of septic tank
  • Effluent level in tank
  • Need for pumping
  • Condition of tank baffles
  • Condition of effluent lift pump (non-gravity systems)
  • Condition of effleunt pump chamber
  • Condition of pipe from tank to field
  • Condition of the distribution box
  • Soil clogging in drainfield
  • Tree or plant root intrusion
  • Accumulation of solds in leach field

 

We will check for the following symptoms of a failing septic system:

  • Slow draining pipes from house
  • Persistent wet areas over the drainfield
  • Sewage surfacing in the area of the septic tank of the D-box
  • Sewage seeping through the foundation
  • Elevated liquid level in drainfield
  • Vegetation over leach field being greener or more lush than rest of yard
  • Sewage odor in yard
  • Effluent flowing back from leach field to septic tank

 

We will provide you with guidelines to help you maximize the life of the septic system.
