What Happens During a Septic System Inspection?

Regular septic system inspections are crucial to maintaining its health and functionality. At FJ Rabon Construction, we understand the importance of keeping your system running smoothly to avoid costly repairs and environmental damage. We will walk you through the steps of a professional septic system inspection, highlighting the comprehensive service provided.

The inspection begins with a thorough initial assessment. Trained technicians gather information about your system, including its age, maintenance history, and any previous issues. This helps tailor the inspection to address specific concerns.

Next, the septic tank and drain field are located. Site plans or electronic locating equipment ensure that all septic tank components are accurately identified. This step is crucial for performing a detailed inspection.

Then the levels of sludge and scum in your septic tank are measured. Using specialized tools, technicians determine if the tank needs pumping. High levels of sludge and scum can indicate that the tank is overdue for maintenance, which can lead to system failure if not addressed promptly.

The septic tank is inspected for any signs of damage, such as cracks or leaks. The inlet and outlet pipes are also checked to ensure they are clear and functioning correctly. Any damage or blockage in these areas can cause significant problems, including backups and contamination.

The drain field is a critical component of your septic system. During the inspection, it is examined for signs of saturation, such as unusually green grass or standing water. These indicators often signal that the system is not dispersing effluent properly, which can lead to system failure.

Various system components, such as pumps, alarms, and filters, are also tested and monitored to ensure correct functioning. This is essential for the overall health of your septic system. Any malfunctioning components are noted, and recommendations for repair or replacement are provided.

After the inspection is completed, a detailed report outlining the findings will be provided. This report includes the septic tank's condition, the drain field, and all other components, along with any recommended maintenance or repairs.
