Septic Evaluations
What We Do:
Locate and access Septic Tank.
Determine if tank is composed of concrete, metal or fiberglass.
Determine water level in tank is exactly where it should be.
Determine if the back baffle is in tact.
Check flow from house to the tank.
If the septic system has a pump chamber: pump, floats and alarms will be checked for functionality.
Probe the outside of the septic tank to check for cracks/voids in the tank.
Locate and probe the drainfields. This will determine if the drainfields are functioning or failing. If the system is currently functioning, an expected life will try to be determined; i.e 3-5 years, 10-12 years, etc.
Septic pumping is NOT a part of our standard inspections. We suggest that the inspection be performed prior to scheduling a pumping. This saves the buyer money by eliminating a surcharge for pumping the tank, when in most cases, it will not yield any value to the customer. If the solids are found to be excessive during the inspection, the report will show this. Only in rare cases will a septic pumping help in the inspection process. A tank should never be pumped within a month prior to a septic inspection, without notifying the inspector.

Water Sampling
Just about any mineral or impurity can be tested for in the water. However the most common sample group is called the Potability Water Sample. This is sometimes referred to as, "Chemical and Bacteria Testing." Water Conditioning Units are available for any impurity in the water.

Well Yield Testing
A Well Yield Test is a timed-test to determine how many gallons per minute a well system can produce.

A Well Yield Test will show:
A functioning well pump and pressure tank.
If a well is running dry/lacks sufficient recuperation.
The reserve amount sitting in the well.
If the buyers would have to stretch the time between running water: showers, laundry, car washing, dish washer, etc.
