It's easy to forget about your septic system when your home relies on it, especially if you don't have a regular sewer bill to pay and your septic tank is buried deep in your yard. In most cases, the system goes unnoticed until an unfortunate backup occurs in your home.

To avoid inconvenient surprises and protect the well-being of your septic system, consider scheduling an annual septic inspection. This proactive approach can help you maintain a healthy and trouble-free septic system, ensuring that you don't encounter unexpected issues.

Septic systems play a natural role in filtering wastewater before it's absorbed by the soil. However, if your system isn't effectively filtering the liquid, it can pose a danger to both your pets and children. Raw sewage may surface in your yard without your knowledge. Especially during a rainy season, it's easy to dismiss excess water in the yard.

We receive numerous inquiries about what a septic inspection involves, and it's a common misconception that simply opening the septic lid and taking a peek is all there is to it.

In reality, our certified septic technicians conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your system tailored to its type and age. We meticulously assess your septic system, searching for deficiencies that can be addressed and ensuring that it operates as designed.

Our inspection includes looking for missing components, cleaning filters, assessing solids accumulation and liquid levels, verifying the safety of lids, and checking for cracks and improper encroachments. This thorough process aims to guarantee the optimal functioning of your septic system.

Cost & Time

A standard septic inspection usually lasts around one to two hours, although the duration may vary based on the type of system and condition.

Being present on-site during the inspection is the most effective way to learn about your septic system. Our team can provide a guided tour of your system, address any concerns, and offer valuable insights on how to properly maintain and care for your tank and drainfield. This hands-on approach allows you to gain a better understanding of your septic system and how to ensure its optimal performance.
