New Construction Inspections
This type of inspection is performed before the completion of a building contract.

Septic Inspection
We begin by examining the liquid level inside the septic tank. We then run water into the tank by flushing toilets and running water. The liquid level of the tank is rechecked, and, when possible, we check the sludge level in the tank and the exit pipe siphon valve. We identify drain lines to determine how the drainage system is set up, and, by taking core samples, the drainfield is checked for sludge, which is a sign of system distress, and proper absorption of liquid.
