About this service

A septic inspection is a comprehensive checkup of your wastewater system. The technician looks for signs of leaks, checks the liquid levels, and observes the drain field to ensure it is absorbing water correctly. It is a smart move before real estate closings or if you have lived in your home for several years without service. Factors like permit requirements affect the cost. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Summer often means more houseguests and increased water usage, which puts extra demand on your septic tank. With more showers and laundry loads, it is easier for a tank to reach capacity. If you have guests coming over, consider a pump-out beforehand to avoid an inconvenient backup during your family gatherings.

What is a septic tank?

A septic tank is a key component of an onsite sewage treatment system. It's a buried, watertight container that receives wastewater from a home or building. Inside the tank, solids settle to the bottom as sludge, and lighter materials like grease float to the top as scum. Bacteria begin to break down the waste. The liquid effluent then flows out to a drain field for further treatment in the soil. This process purifies wastewater before it returns to the groundwater.
