WHAT TO EXPECT WITH INSPECTIONS

WE WILL

  • Document your tank location, manholes and inspection ports

  • Establish condition of manholes and risers to access the tank

  • Establish tank material and size

  • Determine sludge levels, scum thickness and liquid level in the tank (this determines whether or not a pump is required)

  • Look for signs of tank leakage, such as low water levels in the tank

  • Look for signs of backup, such as staining in the tank above the outlet pipe

  • Determine the integrity of the tank, inlet, and outlet baffles

  • Inspect the drain field for signs of system failure like standing water

  • Check to make sure systems with pump or siphon are working

  • Ensure the system complies with local regulations regarding function and location.
