It's easy to forget something that’s out of sight, but when your septic system acts up, it can turn your daily routine upside down. Regular inspections can help you dodge a mess, ensuring that your home remains safe and comfortable. At Express Plumbing & Rooter, we offer comprehensive services for local property owners including septic tank inspection services. Keep reading to find out why septic inspections are an important part of taking care of your system.
Your septic tank is essentially a personal sewage treatment facility, and it requires a bit of TLC to keep it running smoothly. These check-ups can help prevent the buildup of sludge and scum, which can lead to system failures and costly repairs. They can also catch potential problems like leaks or blockages before they escalate. And let's not forget that a functioning septic system is critical for keeping contaminants out of groundwater. So, a simple inspection can have a ripple effect on the well-being of your community’s health and local ecosystems.
Initially, septic specialists will review the system’s history and your household size to gauge usage patterns. The inspection itself may include locating the tank, ensuring it’s accessible for maintenance, and checking the levels of solids in the tank. Inspectors use specialized tools to measure scum and sludge layers, ensuring they haven’t reached a critical level. They’ll also assess the tank and drain field for any signs of failure or inefficiency, like surface wastewater or unusually lush vegetation. The inspector will likely also recommend maintenance or repairs, if necessary, and offer tips to prolong your system’s life.

The frequency of septic inspections depends on several factors, including the size of your tank, the number of people in your household, and your overall water usage. As a rule of thumb, it’s wise to schedule an inspection every three years. However, if you have a smaller tank or a larger family, you may need to consider more frequent check-ups. It’s a small step that plays a big part in preventing unwelcome surprises and keeping your system in great shape.
Ensure the area around the septic tank is clear of any obstructions like vehicles, debris, or garden tools. It’s also helpful to trim back any shrubbery that might impede access to the tank. Inside your home, it's wise to reduce water use on the day of the inspection to prevent any fluctuation in the tank’s normal levels, which could mask issues. Having any documents related to your septic system on hand will be beneficial to the inspector as well. A little prep goes a long way in making the inspection process smooth and efficient.
