Septic Tank Inspections

Our Full-Service Septic Tank Inspection Process

Here's what you can expect when you call Pro Services for a septic tank inspection in Birmingham, AL, and the surrounding areas. 

• Initial Consultation and Site Assessment: Our inspection process begins with an initial consultation to understand any concerns you may have about your septic system. We then conduct a thorough site assessment to evaluate the overall condition of your system and surrounding environment.

• Locating the Septic Tank: Using advanced equipment, our technicians locate your septic tank and access points. Accurate location is essential for a thorough inspection and for planning any necessary maintenance or repairs.

• Measuring Sludge and Scum Levels: We measure the levels of sludge and scum in your septic tank to determine if it needs pumping. High levels can indicate that the tank is overdue for maintenance, which can lead to system failures if not addressed.

• Inspecting the Inlet and Outlet Pipes: Our team checks the condition of the inlet and outlet pipes to ensure they are clear and functioning correctly. Blocked or damaged pipes can cause backups and reduce the efficiency of your septic system.

• Checking for Leaks and Structural Integrity: We inspect the tank for any signs of leaks or structural damage. Cracks or deterioration can lead to groundwater contamination and system failure. Early detection allows for timely repairs, preventing more significant issues down the line.

• Evaluating the Drain Field: The drain field is a critical component of your septic system. We assess its condition by checking for signs of saturation, such as standing water or lush vegetation. Properly functioning drain fields effectively filter and disperse wastewater.

• Reviewing System Maintenance Records: Our technicians review your system's maintenance records to ensure it has been properly maintained. Regular pumping and servicing are vital for the longevity and efficiency of your septic system.

• Providing a Detailed Report and Recommendations: After completing the inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings. We include recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance to keep your system functioning optimally.
