Septic system inspections are critical for maintaining the performance and safety of your wastewater treatment system. You should consider scheduling an inspection in the following situations:

Before Buying or Selling Property

A septic system inspection is often required during real estate transactions to ensure the system meets local standards and is functioning properly. It provides peace of mind for both buyers and sellers regarding the system’s condition.

If You Notice System Problems

Slow drains, sewage backups, standing water near the drain field, or unpleasant odors are signs that your septic system may be malfunctioning. An inspection helps diagnose these issues early to prevent expensive repairs.

Routine Maintenance

Even if you don’t notice problems, regular inspections every 3 to 5 years can help catch minor wear and tear before it becomes a major failure, extending the life of your septic system.

After Repairs or Modifications

If your septic system has been repaired, altered, or has experienced heavy use, an inspection ensures it was done correctly and that your system is still operating safely.

How Our Septic System Inspection Process Works

At Maverick Septic Service Inc., we follow a comprehensive and detailed septic system inspection process.

Visual Assessment

Our technician begins with a visual inspection of the overall septic system, including the tank, lids, and surrounding area for signs of damage or leaks.

Tank Inspection & Measurement

We open the septic tank to measure the levels of solids, scum, and liquids to evaluate if pumping is required. We also check for cracks, corrosion, or other structural issues inside the tank.

Component Evaluation

We examine the inlet and outlet baffles, distribution box, and drain field for proper function and evidence of clogging or failure.

System Performance Testing

Where applicable, we check flow rates and observe how the system handles wastewater to detect any slow drainage or blockages.

Detailed Report

After the inspection, we provide a comprehensive report outlining the condition of your septic system, any issues found, and recommended maintenance or repairs to keep your system running efficiently.

Compliance and Documentation

Our inspections comply with local health department regulations and provide the documentation necessary for real estate transactions or insurance purposes.
