Septic Inspections
Find out what shape your system is in before it becomes a problem.
An inspection tells you how the whole system is doing, not just the tank. It is worth doing if the system is older, if you have just moved in or if something seems off.
We check each part we can reach and tell you plainly what is fine, what to watch and what needs fixing.
What is included
- Locating the tank and checking liquid and solids levels
- Checking the inlet and outlet baffles, lids and risers
- Walking the drain field to look for wet spots, odors or settling
- A written summary of what we found
When to call
- You have never had the system looked at
- You are planning an addition or adding a bathroom
- You notice odors or wet ground near the tank or field
- The system is more than twenty years old
Where we offer it
We provide septic inspections in Statesboro, Brooklet, Register, Portal and Metter.
Questions about septic inspections
What are the signs of a failing drain field?
Soggy ground or standing water over the field, a sewage smell in the yard, grass that is much greener over the lines, slow drains throughout the house and backups that return soon after pumping. One sign alone does not always mean the field has failed, so have it looked at before assuming the worst.
What does a real estate septic inspection include?
We locate and open the tank, check the liquid and solids levels, look at the baffles and the condition of the tank and walk the drain field for signs of failure. You get a written report to share with your agent or lender. Requirements can vary by county and lender, so tell us what yours has asked for.
