Septic System Maintenance & Inspections

It’s generally recommended to have your septic system inspected at least once a year. However, the frequency can vary based on usage, system size, and local regulations. Regular inspections help catch potential issues early.

A typical inspection includes checking the condition of the septic tank, drainfield, and related components. The technician will look for signs of wear, clogs, leaks, and other issues to ensure everything is functioning properly.

Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected failures and costly repairs by addressing minor issues before they become major problems. It also extends the lifespan of your system and ensures efficient operation.

Ensure easy access to your septic tank and system components. It’s helpful to provide information about your system’s history and any issues you’ve noticed. Clearing the area around the tank can also facilitate a smoother inspection.

A thorough inspection should include checking all system components, such as the tank, drainfield, and distribution box. The technician should provide a detailed report of their findings, including any recommendations for repairs or maintenance.
