Why Septic Inspections Matter
If your home or business isn’t connected to a municipal sewer system, your septic system is responsible for safely managing wastewater. Without regular inspections, small issues can turn into costly repairs or health hazards.
Our Inspections Help Identify:
Failing or undersized septic systems
Cracks or damage in tanks and distribution boxes
Blockages, backups, or root intrusion
Overflow into drainage fields
Signs of environmental contamination
Don’t wait for a backup, regular septic maintenance can save you thousands in repairs.

When Should You Get a Septic Inspection?

How Does
A Septic System work?
A septic system consists of a buried concrete tank where waste is broken down by anaerobic bacteria, which thrive without oxygen. As waste is processed, it separates into:
- Sludge – Settles at the bottom of the tank.
- Liquid Effluent – Flows into a distribution box and then into perforated pipes in the drainage field.
- Scum Layer – Floats on top of the liquid effluent.
The liquid effluent is further filtered through layers of sand and gravel, allowing it to evaporate or safely absorb into the ground.
The Importance of Septic Tank Maintenance
If regular pumping and cleaning are neglected, sludge can build up and overflow into the drainage field, clogging the system and contaminating the surrounding soil. This can lead to sewage backups, surface contamination, and expensive system replacements.
To prevent these issues, it is recommended that septic tanks be pumped and cleaned every two years. While some homeowners may go ten or twenty years without maintenance, this greatly increases the risk of system failure and costly repairs.
