About this service

A professional inspection evaluates the health of your entire system. A technician checks the tank's structural integrity, measures sludge and scum levels, and tests the flow into the drain field to catch potential failures before they become expensive problems. You should schedule this when purchasing a new home or if you notice slow drains. Costs vary based on system accessibility and depth. 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.
