What Is A Septic Inspection?
Answer
A septic inspection is a thorough evaluation of a septic system to determine its current condition and identify any potential issues.

How often should a septic system be inspected?
Answer
Septic systems should be inspected every 3-5 years by a licensed professional, depending on factors such as the size of the tank, the number of occupants in the home, and the age of the system.
What does a septic inspection cost?
Answer
The cost of a septic inspection varies depending on the location, size of the system, and the complexity of the inspection. Contact our septic experts at Goebel for an estimate.
What happens during a septic inspection?
Answer
During a septic inspection the inspector will visually examine the tank and sludge levels, and drain field area, check the pump, and clean baffles and filters.
What are some signs that a septic inspection is needed?
Answer
Slow drains, foul odors, wet spots or standing water near the drain field, or sewage backups in the home are signs that a septic inspection is needed. If it has been more than three years since the last septic inspection, it is a good idea to have one performed.
