Inspections & Repairs
Importance of Inspections: Regular inspections are a must to keep your septic system running smoothly. Whether you’re a current homeowner or looking to buy or sell a property, a comprehensive inspection identifies potential issues before they become costly problems. For buyers, an inspection offers peace of mind by revealing the septic system's condition, while for sellers, it’s an assurance to prospective buyers that the system is in good shape.
Consequences of Skipping Pumping: Not pumping your tank regularly can lead to serious issues. Over time, solid waste builds up in the tank, reducing space for wastewater and causing it to back up into your home or yard. In extreme cases, tree roots may grow into an overfilled tank, damaging pipes and requiring expensive repairs. Additionally, if your tank isn’t emptied, sludge can overflow into the drain field, leading to complete system failure. Routine pumping avoids these risks, extending your system’s lifespan and protecting your property
Signs of Trouble: Some warning signs indicate that an inspection or repair is overdue. Watch for slow-draining sinks, showers, or toilets, as these can be the first sign of a blockage. Backups in your home, unpleasant odors near the tank or drain field, or unusually lush patches of grass in one part of your yard also suggest septic issues. Catching these early prevents them from becoming larger, more expensive repairs.
Common Repairs We Handle: When repairs are necessary, we’re equipped to handle a wide range. Two of the most common issues we see are clogged drain beds and damaged inlet and outlet pipes. Over time, drain beds can become clogged with sludge, reducing their ability to filter wastewater effectively and causing pooling in your yard. Inlet and outlet pipes can also crack or become blocked, disrupting the flow of waste and potentially contaminating the environment. Addressing these issues quickly helps prevent more significant damage and ensures your system remains efficient.
