Septic Inspections
What Does A Commercial Septic Inspection Look Like?
Our goal with a commercial septic inspection is to give your septic system an end-to-end diagnostic. We want everything operating smoothly, while also satisfying every required state and local regulation. A smoothly operating system maintains you, your employees and customers and the authorities satisfied.
You can treat it like a checkup at the doctors. We first evaluate the inside of your tank, verifying the levels, searching for cracks or leaks, inspecting mechanical and electrical parts. We'll test to verify how water is moving, and verify how the other parts of your system are functioning together. Once we've completed all that, we provide you a detailed overview of your system's functioning, and inform you if you need to make any changes or repairs.

Showed up on time…in the middle of a severe storm and performed the work anyway. The young man had a positive attitude and the rain didn’t seem to phase him. Nasty conditions but performed like it was a beautiful sunny day. He took photos like I asked and documented the process. Thank you for your professionalism

I had an issue with my aerobic system at my home in Cedar Hill and called them at 8am. They came and had my issue fixed shortly around noon. I signed up for their annual maintenance service at a very reasonable price.
Nick Nichols
I called on the 16th of January in the midst of a hard freeze due to my septic system alarm going off. Even with the weather and its associated workload, the techs arrived the same day and resolved the issue. Awesome service seems to be the norm for this company and their techs!
Michael Turner
Great service. We received service within a few hours of calling in. They came in and found the issue immediately and provided great tips and feedback. We know nothing about the septic tank so the info gathered was very helpful.

OUR PROCESS
The Game Plan For Septic Inspections
We’re here to make sure your system is inspected, working correctly, and in compliance. We follow a simple game plan to consistently get you great results.
Check The Tank’s Condition
We need to look inside your tank to see what your internal levels look like, while also checking for any worrying leaks or cracks.
Check Your Drain Field
Not every system has a drain field (but many do). Our goal is to see where your treated water is going, and how your system handles its water.
Inspect Your Connections
We’ll review the pipes and connections your system has, looking for any irregularities or potential leaks, making sure things are secure.
Test! Test! Test!
Once we inspect your septic system thoroughly, we’ll test it to make sure it’s functioning normally, the way you need it to.
Report The Results
We’ll let you know if your septic system passed with flying colors, or if it needs a little bit of tender care to get it back functioning the way it needs to
