Ignoring issues with your septic system can lead to costly repairs and potential health hazards. It's important to recognize the signs of septic system failure and take action as soon as possible.

Here are some common signs that your septic system may be failing:

• Sewage backups or slow draining toilets
• Foul odors coming from drains or near the septic tank
• Lush green grass or standing water around the drain field
• Gurgling sounds in the plumbing
• High levels of nitrates or bacteria in well water

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to schedule a septic inspection with our team. We can diagnose the issue and recommend the best course of action to prevent further damage and ensure your septic system is functioning properly.

• Checking the condition of all tanks located on site
• Checking septic tank covers
• Inspecting inlet/outlet baffles
• Inspecting waste lines
• Checking pumps and all necessary components
• Evaluating type of Drainage area and its current condition
• Checking sludge levels in the tank
• Looking for evidence of prior backups
• Making sure the alarm (if there is one) is functioning properly
• Ensuring that prior repairs were permitted
• Determining whether pumping is now needed
• Performing hydraulic load testing (if required) to assist in evaluating system condition.

Whew, we’re kind of tired just listing all these things! But they are important. At the end of the inspection, the inspector will rate the condition of the system and issue a written report, including recommendations for repairs that may be necessary for proper functioning
