What You Can Expect From Your Septic Inspection Appointment
Whether you are a potential buyer or an existing homeowner, septic systems are essential to every home. You need to consider septic tank inspection from qualified septic companies every two to three years to ensure it's in perfect working condition and detect problems early enough to avoid further damage. There are two types of inspections that you can request: visual and complete.
Here's what to anticipate from your expert septic tank inspection. The lid must be taken off and examined as the first step in a thorough septic check. Your inspector will then inspect the water level in the septic tank. They will ensure the water flows properly from your house to the tank and check the water level.
The next step is pumping your tank and checking for backflow in the absorption level. Stopping the backflow informs the inspector of any issues in or around your drain field. All visible internal tank components and pipe couplings will also be examined using a device equipped with a camera. Pipes that have been damaged or broken should be replaced or repaired soon.
