Why a Professional Inspection is Critical in Central Michigan
Our inspections are designed to uncover hidden issues that a casual look would miss. We identify:
Multi-Point Protocol
Phase 1: Pre-Inspection Research
- Records Review: Property history, system age, and known issue interviews with research into available permit history.
- Visual Site Survey: Walkover for surface evidence: soggy soil, lush grass patches, surfacing effluent, or odors.
Phase 2: Internal Assessment
- Locating Components: Probing tools and excavation to expose access lids for the tank and D-box.
- Full Tank Pumping: Evacuation for visual examination. We perform a complete septic system cleaning.
- Structure Integrity: Checking for cracks or deterioration in concrete, fiberglass, or plastic.
- Baffles & Outlets: Inspecting inlet/outlet tees for damage—a primary cause of drain field failure.
Phase 3: Hydraulic Load Test
- Dye Test: Non-staining dye to confirm suspected surface failures or leaks.
- Distribution Box: Checking for levelness and evidence of uneven effluent distribution.
- Drain Field: Evaluating soil moisture and system response during testing for telltale hydraulic signs.
Phase 4: Advanced Diagnostic Integration
- Video Pipe Inspection: Flexible sewer camera to perform a **video inspection** of lines to identify roots, blockages, or collapses.
- Excavation for Verification: Our in-house expertise allows targeted, minimal digging to verify damaged components definitively.
Phase 5: Reporting & Consultation
- Detailed findings with photographs.
- Estimated remaining system life.
- Code compliance statements.
- One-on-one plain language review.
