A full inspection evaluates your tank, drain field, and all components for cracks, leaks, and proper function. We check water levels, look for signs of backup, and assess soil conditions around your system. You'll get a detailed report showing what's working and what needs attention.
How often should I have my septic system inspected?
Most homeowners benefit from an annual inspection, especially in Dixon where our loam and clay mix soil can affect drainage over time. If you're buying a home, a pre-purchase inspection is essential. If you notice slow drains or odors, don't wait—call right away.
Why is a pre-purchase inspection critical in Dixon?
Septic repairs can cost thousands. A pre-purchase inspection reveals hidden problems before you buy, protecting your investment. Dixon's moderate water table and clay-heavy soil mean drainage issues aren't always obvious. An inspection gives you peace of mind and negotiating power.
How long does a typical septic inspection take?
Most inspections take 1–2 hours, depending on system size and accessibility. We'll locate your tank, check the drain field, and run water tests. You can stay home during the visit, and we'll walk you through findings on-site before we leave.
What happens if my inspection finds a problem?
We'll explain exactly what needs fixing and why. Minor issues like slow drainage might need a pump-out; bigger problems like tank cracks require repair or replacement. Our report is clear and honest, so you know your options and costs upfront.
