What Is Septic Inspections?
A septic inspection looks at the tank, its baffles and lids, the sludge and scum levels, the outlet, the distribution system and the drain field area. On systems with pumps, it includes the pump, floats and alarm.
Inspections are often paired with pumping, since an empty tank is much easier to evaluate.
When Do You Need Septic Inspections?
Inspections are a smart step when buying or selling a home, when you don't know a system's history, before adding a bedroom or bathroom, and periodically as part of routine maintenance.
They're also worthwhile any time you notice symptoms and want to know what's going on before deciding on repairs.
