How Is a Septic Inspection Done?

The process of inspecting a septic system involves several steps to assess the system's condition and functionality. Here's a brief overview:

• Visual Inspection: The inspector will visually examine the components of the septic system, including the tank, distribution box, and drain field. They will check for signs of damage, leaks, or corrosion.
• Tank Inspection: The septic tank will be opened, and its contents will be assessed. The inspector will check the liquid level, measure the thickness of accumulated sludge and scum, and inspect the integrity of the tank.
• Drain Field Evaluation: The drain field or leach field will be inspected for signs of pooling water, odors, or vegetation overgrowth. The inspector may also perform a percolation test or soil analysis to assess the absorption capacity of the drain field.
• Plumbing Inspection: The inspector will examine the plumbing fixtures in the house to ensure proper flow and drainage. They may conduct dye tests or use specialized equipment to check for any leaks or blockages in the system.
• Documentation and Reporting: The inspector will document their findings and provide a detailed report of the septic inspection, including any issues identified, recommendations for maintenance or repairs, and an estimate of the septic system's remaining lifespan.
