Septic Evaluations

A septic evaluation can be conducted at the same time as the well evaluation, or by itself. The septic evaluation includes the following:

• Location of the septic tank and seepage field.
• Visual inspection of the system to determine if a septic failure has occurred.
• Placing fluorescent dye into the system to confirm a septic failure.
• When possible, determine where the washing machine, clear water sump and water softener backwash discharges.
• Availability of sanitary sewers.
• Recommendations for septic repairs.
