GETTING AN INSPECTION TODAY COULD SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!

A septic system is responsible for removing and storing waste from a home. When something goes wrong with this system, it can cause a number of costly problems. Regular septic inspections can go a long way in preventing minor issues from turning into major repairs and premature replacement. Instead of waiting until something goes wrong, call Mountain Septic for a septic inspection in Durango today!

Here are a few things to look out for that indicate you should have a septic inspection:

  • Standing water in your lawn over your septic system.
  • Sogginess in your yard by the septic tank.
  • Frequent and significant plumbing backups.
  • Greener grass over your septic area.
  • Sewer odors inside your home or in the yard.
  • Slow-draining sinks, showers, and bathtubs.

What Does a Septic Inspection Involve?

The EPA recommends that you pump your septic tank every 3-5 years. Homes with older tanks benefit from the regular inspections and pumpings to avoid any disasters. Although your system may appear to be operating properly, finding any hidden problems could save you lots of money and headaches in the future. Make sure to check out the rest of our septic services!

What to expect at your septic inspection:

  • Visual Inspection. Your tech will first locate your septic system and make sure there are not obvious signs of improper drainage at your drain field. They are also looking for foul odors and very green grass.
  • Operations Tests: Your tech will inspect the inside of the tank to ensure it is holding water and not leaking. Next, your tech will perform an operations test and will run 150 gallons of water through your septic system and observe how the water comes in and flows out of the septic tank and observe if the volume of water affects the drainfield.
  • Back Flows: Once the septic tank has been pumped, your inspector will make sure there are no back flow issues from the absorption area. This is also a good time to make sure there are no broken baffles in the tank that would obstruct any in/back flow of the tank.
  • Final Approval: your tech will give you final approval of a properly functioning septic system or communicate the necessary repairs or modifications needed to bring the system up to code.
  • Pumping and Final Inspection: Your tech will remove all solids and liquids from the tank and vistually inspection the interior condition of the tank with a flashlight and mirrors.
Following the inspection, you will receive a full report detailing the condition of your septic system, along with any recommendations regarding repair or replacement.
