Your drain field is the part of your septic system that helps to further filter through the wastewater from your home and safely redistribute it into the soil. Any unresolved issues with your drain field could result in potential environmental and safety issues for your property. To avoid such issues, you should schedule regular inspections. That way, you can catch any warning signs of issues early on before they can become more extensive and cause further damage to the rest of your septic system and property.
Here are a few tips on when to schedule a drain field inspection.
- Every three years: It’s generally recommended to schedule a drain field inspection once every three years, though this will depend on the size of your household and the use of your septic system.
- You notice the warning signs: If you notice any warning signs of a problematic drain field, such as slow or backed-up drains and toilets, standing water in the yard, or foul odors on your property, you should schedule a drain field inspection right away. We can thoroughly inspect the drain field, identify any issues, and resolve them as efficiently and effectively as possible.
- You’re buying a new home: It’s always important to know exactly what to expect from the property and systems before purchasing a new home. Scheduling a drain field inspection before you purchase the home gives you a complete understanding of the condition of the drain field and allows you to resolve any issues before you move, so you won’t have to deal with them later.
