What’s Included in Our O & M Home inspections

1
Visual & Structural Assessment

We locate and uncover your septic tank lids to inspect the structural integrity of the septic tank walls, checking for cracks or leaks.

Sludge & Scum Layer

We measure the percentage of solids in your septic tank to determine when your next routine pumping/cleaning should be completed if tank not pumped at your inspection.

3
Baffle & Filter Evaluation
We inspect the inlet and outlet baffles and thoroughly clean the effluent filter to prevent solid waste from escaping into your drainfield.
