We provide septic tank inspection services to safeguard your system’s performance.
Recognizing the critical role a functioning septic tank plays in your property’s plumbing system is essential. A septic tank inspection offers a thorough evaluation to detect signs of wear, leaks, or system fatigue before they escalate into major failures. Our inspection services are designed to give homeowners clarity and preventive insight to maintain a healthy system and avoid costly repairs down the line.
During the inspection, we evaluate several key components, starting with the structural integrity of the tank itself. We look for signs of cracks, corrosion, or deterioration that could lead to leaks or groundwater contamination. We also measure sludge and scum levels to assess whether pumping is needed. Outlet baffles, inlet pipes, and access lids are checked to confirm they’re in good working order. If your system includes an alarm or pump, we’ll test those electrical components as well to ensure everything functions safely.
Beyond the tank, we inspect the drain field area for signs of saturation, pooling, or improper treatment. These indicators can reveal underlying issues with wastewater absorption or uneven system performance. A healthy drain field is just as important as the tank itself for the complete functioning of a septic system.
After a septic tank inspection, we provide a clear, detailed report with photos and recommendations. Whether it’s minor maintenance, a full tank pump-out, or early warning signs of potential failure, you’ll have the information needed to take the next step. This service is especially valuable before a home purchase or when preparing a property for sale, as it protects both buyers and sellers from unexpected issues.
