What a Septic Tank Inspection Covers

A thorough inspection goes well beyond a visual check of the lid. Our team evaluates the condition and function of the entire onsite sewage system so you know exactly where things stand.

Components we examine include:

• Tank integrity: Structural condition of the tank walls and access lids
• Sludge and scum layers: Depth measurements that indicate whether a pump-out is due
• Inlet and outlet baffles: These direct flow through the tank and prevent solids from reaching the drain field
• Distribution box: Checked for level and even flow to drain field lines
• Drain field condition: Surface assessment for ponding, saturation, or breakout
• Mechanical components: Pumps, float switches, and alarms on alternative onsite sewage systems (AOSS), which rely on electrical and mechanical controls not present in conventional systems

For property transfer inspections or when line damage is suspected, we can run a camera through the drain lines to identify cracks, root intrusion, or joint failures that aren’t visible from the surface. Every inspection produces a written report describing the condition of each component, what needs attention, and maintenance recommendations going forward.
