Septic Tank & Drainfield Inspection in Fort Pierce and the Treasure Coast

Most people do not think of their septic tank until they start to notice signs of a leak. By that time, an issue with a septic tank may cost a considerable amount to repair or replace. By conducting regular septic tank inspections, you may be able to avoid issues before they start. 

Why Have Septic Tank Inspections?

Waiting until there are serious issues with your septic tank is a recipe for disaster. One small issue that might be addressed today may become a big repair or replacement bill tomorrow if nothing is done. An annual septic tank inspection or one performed when you suspect something might be wrong offers advantages that you will feel in your pocketbook. 

• How old is the septic tank?
• How large is the septic tank?
• How many people live in your home?
• Do you pour grease or other items into the drain? 

Depending on how you answer the questions, you should start having septic tank inspections regularly. A combination of annual inspections by a professional combined with frequent checks for any signs of septic tank issues may address small problems before they become big issues. 

Septic tanks are subject to the wear and tear of age just like any other manufactured product. The older your septic tank is, the more attention it will need to stay functioning properly. Some of the signs you may see of issues developing in your septic tank include the following;

• Slow drains in the kitchen and bathrooms
• Greener grass above the location of the septic tank
• Unusual odors around toilets and drains 

If you see one or more of these signs, chances are you have a septic tank issue. It may just be a small issue, or it might be a big problem, but looking for these signs in-between professional inspections can only help. 

Visual and Full Inspections 

There are two types of inspections, visual and a full one. A visual inspection checks all areas that can be seen with the naked eye. They are usually used by home inspectors to spot any damage or compromise in the septic tank that may have reached the surface. 

A full inspection is far more thorough and will spot small issues, cracks, or changes that might lead to big problems. Signs of overflow, stoppages, or leaking can be spotted before the signs reach the surface. That means they can be addressed while still in the early stages.
