Septic Inspection Questions

  • What happens during a septic inspection?

    We check the condition of your tank, the line from your home, and the drain field, look for the cause of any problems you've noticed, and explain what we found in plain language, along with your options.

  • Is a septic inspection the same as pumping?

    No. An inspection looks at the condition of your whole system and finds the cause of problems. Pumping removes the sludge and scum from the tank. If your tank needs pumping, we'll tell you.

  • How much does a septic inspection cost?

    It depends on your system and what we need to check. You'll get upfront pricing before any work begins.

  • What if I don't know where my septic tank is?

    That's common. We can locate the tank and uncover the lid as part of the visit.

  • Can you inspect my system after hours if something's wrong?

    Yes. We're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If sewage is backing up into your home, call us any time.

  • I'm looking for a septic inspection near me. Do you serve my area?

    Yes, if you're in Chattanooga, TN or anywhere in Hamilton County, including Collegedale, Ooltewah, Hixson, and Middle Valley.
