How Can We Help?

You Deserve The Highest Quality Excavation Services

Step 1: Hire a Qualified Septic Contractor

The first step in the septic inspection process is to find a qualified septic contractor. In Texas, septic contractors must be licensed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). You can check if a contractor is licensed on the TCEQ website. It's important to hire a contractor with experience in septic inspections and who is knowledgeable about the specific requirements for the county in which you live.

Step 2: Schedule the Inspection

Once you've found a qualified septic contractor, schedule the inspection. The septic inspection must be conducted by a licensed septic contractor, and the inspection report must be submitted to the TCEQ within 30 days. It's important to schedule the inspection well in advance to allow time for any necessary repairs or upgrades to the system before the report is due.

Step 3: Prepare for the Inspection

Before the septic inspection, make sure the septic system is accessible. Clear any debris or vegetation around the tank and drainfield, and make sure the septic tank access cover is easily visible and accessible. The contractor will need to access the tank and drainfield to conduct the inspection.

Step 4: Conduct the Inspection

During the septic inspection, the septic contractor will conduct a visual inspection of the system and test the system to ensure it is functioning correctly. The contractor will check the following:

1. Tank Size and Condition: The contractor will check the size of the tank and its condition. A damaged or corroded tank may need to be replaced.

2. Tank Access: The contractor will check that the access cover is secure and easy to remove.

3. Inlet and Outlet Baffles: The contractor will check the inlet and outlet baffles to ensure they are in good condition.

4. Scum and Sludge Layers: The contractor will check the scum and sludge layers in the tank. If the layers are too thick, the tank will need to be pumped.

5. Drainfield: The contractor will inspect the drainfield to ensure it is functioning correctly. They will check the soil absorption rate and look for signs of pooling or standing water.

6. Distribution Box: If your system has a distribution box, the contractor will check it to ensure it is functioning correctly.

7. Electrical Components: If your system has electrical components, such as a pump or alarm, the contractor will check them to ensure they are functioning correctly.

Maintaining Your Septic System

Step 5: Receive the Inspection Report

After the inspection, the septic contractor will provide a report outlining the results of the inspection. If any issues were found, the report will include recommendations for repairs or upgrades to the system. The report must be submitted to the TCEQ within 30 days.

Step 6: Make Any Necessary Repairs or Upgrades

If the inspection report indicates that repairs or upgrades are necessary, it's important to address them as soon as possible. A malfunctioning septic system can pose a risk to the health and safety of your family or community. It's important to work with a qualified septic contractor to make the necessary repairs or upgrades. They can provide guidance on the best course of action and ensure the work is done correctly.

Step 7: Schedule a Follow-Up Inspection

Once the repairs or upgrades have been completed, schedule a follow-up inspection. The septic contractor will inspect the system again to ensure the repairs were done correctly and the system is functioning properly. Once the follow-up inspection is complete, the septic contractor will submit a report to the TCEQ.

In conclusion, conducting a septic inspection is an essential part of maintaining a safe and healthy home in Texas. It's important to hire a qualified septic contractor and schedule the inspection well in advance. By following these steps, you can ensure your septic system is functioning correctly and not posing a risk to the health and safety of your family or community. Remember, a malfunctioning septic system can have serious consequences, including contamination of groundwater and surface water, which can lead to the spread of diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize regular septic inspections and repairs.
