How to Prepare for a Septic Tank Inspection: About how long has it been since you had your septic tank installed and how has it been long since you last had it inspection? As a homeowner with a septic tank system, it's important that you have it inspected about every 3 to 4 years. This will help to ensure it is running smoothly, that an inspection can catch any problems early, and this may prevent the need for costly repairs. If you don't recall when it was last serviced, it is probably time to call a septic service company. Not only should you set up an appointment, but you can follow the guidelines below to ensure the inspection happens smoothly. Take the time before your appointment to prepare for the inspection.
It will be necessary to locate your tank. Have on hand the copy of the septic site plan. Clear the area around the tank lids so that the septic contractor can access the system for the inspection. If you are having any problems it is important to make a list of any problems you may be having with the system.Why septic systems fail: Most septic systems fail because of inappropriate design or poor maintenance. Some soil-based systems (those with a drain field) are installed at sites with inadequate or inappropriate soils, excessive slopes, or high ground water tables. These conditions can cause hydraulic failures and contamination of nearby water sources.
With proper care and regular maintenance from a reliable septic service, your septic tank will last for years. Each septic tank is custom-sized to the household and needs to be kept free of harsh chemicals to operate at maximum efficiency.
Have your system inspected every three to five years
Make sure you keep your records of the inspection. If you are selling your Delaware home it must pass the inspection. Failure to perform routine maintenance, such as pumping the septic tank generally at least every three to five years, can cause solids in the tank to migrate into the drain field and clog the system. If you don't recall when it was last serviced or your septic drainfield is failing, it is probably time to call a septic repair service company.
