How often should a septic system be inspected?
Most systems benefit from regular inspections, especially when the property has heavy use, older components, or a history of backups.
A practical schedule depends on tank size, household or site usage, system age, and whether the property is residential, commercial, or event-based.
- Inspect before buying or selling a property
- Inspect when drains slow down or odors appear
- Inspect before major events, remodels, or periods of heavier use
