If you’re preparing to buy or sell a home with a septic tank, you may need to schedule a septic inspection to ensure the system is functioning optimally. These can also be a good practice for homeowners who simply want to keep up with preventative maintenance. An experienced team of septic professionals has the tools, know-how, and experience to spot potential septic problems long before they become noticeable to the homeowner. By identifying issues early on, you can proactively address any problems before they worsen.

During a septic inspection, the team will start by locating the system and uncovering the manhole and inspection ports. Often, these components are buried, so the septic team may need to perform some digging to access them. Once they’re exposed, the professionals can then measure scum and sludge layers to determine whether septic pumping is required.

The septic team will perform a visual inspection of the septic tank walls to look for cracks. Next, they’ll analyze the drain field to make sure the overall septic system is processing waste as efficiently as possible.

If you need to have an inspection performed on your septic system, you can help the process go smoothly by making a few preparations in advance. Check your septic design paperwork to determine where your inspection port is located on your property. If possible, remove any obstructions plants or shrubs, which could hinder access to it. Reliable Septic Services will perform additional work to uncover ports.
