Septic system inspections and testing are essential for maintaining a healthy home. Regular inspections and tests can help identify potential issues early on, saving time and money in the long run. It is important to understand what type of septic system you have and ensure it is properly inspected and tested at least once every three years. During an inspection, an experienced technician will check for damage or signs of wear, inspect all components and connections, measure the tank’s size and water level, analyze effluent quality, review any maintenance records, assess alarm systems, measure soil absorption rates, check for cross-connections between potable water sources and the system itself. Testing may include bacteria analysis of the wastewater to detect contamination levels as well as dye testing to identify leaks or other drainage problems. By taking these steps to ensure your septic system is functioning correctly you can rest easy knowing that your home is safe from potential hazards.
