In this guide, we will explain what to expect during the inspection process, what our technicians look for, and how we ensure that every assessment is comprehensive.
What to Expect During Your Septic Tank Inspection
Initial Consultation and System Overview
Before the inspection begins, our certified technicians will conduct an initial consultation with you to get a better understanding of your system’s history and any concerns you may have. This step is vital as it helps us tailor the inspection to your specific system and usage patterns. We’ll review past maintenance records, identify recurring issues, and discuss what to expect during the inspection.
Visual Inspection
Our inspection starts with a visual assessment of the overall septic system. Our technicians will examine the area around the septic tank and drain field, looking for any signs of obvious issues such as pooling water, unpleasant odours, or excessive vegetation growth. These are common indicators of potential problems that require further investigation.
Accessing the Septic Tank
Next, the septic tank is accessed for a more in-depth examination. Our technicians will remove the tank lid and inspect the contents, paying close attention to the levels of sludge and scum. This helps us determine whether the tank requires pumping and if the system is processing waste efficiently.
Assessing the Drain Field
As a crucial component of your septic system, your drain field is responsible for filtering and dispersing effluent into the soil. Our inspection includes a thorough assessment of the drain field to check for signs of clogging or failure. We use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate soil absorption and identify any areas that may require remediation.
Testing Mechanical Components
A complete inspection also involves checking all mechanical components, including pumps, floats, filters, and alarms. These parts play essential roles in the operation of your septic system, and their proper function is crucial for preventing system failures. Our technicians will test each component to ensure it works correctly and efficiently.
Flow Testing
Flow testing is performed to evaluate the system’s ability to handle the typical water usage of your household. This involves running water through the system and monitoring how it flows through the septic tank and into the drain field. The test helps us identify any potential blockages or inefficiencies in the system.
Comprehensive Reporting
After the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining the condition of your septic system. Our reports include a description of the system’s size, capacity, and overall health, along with any code compliance issues. We also provide recommendations for maintenance, repairs, or upgrades, ensuring that you are fully informed about the state of your system.
Maintenance Recommendations and Follow-Up Support
Our service doesn’t end when the inspection is finished. We offer ongoing support to help you maintain your septic system. If any issues were identified during the inspection, we will discuss the next steps, including any necessary repairs or preventative measures. Additionally, our proprietary Client Care System allows you to access your inspection reports and maintenance records at any time, making it easy to stay on top of your septic system’s needs.
