🤔 Common Questions About Septic Inspections in CT
Do I Need to Pump the Septic Tank First?
No — and here’s why:
A full tank provides a better diagnostic opportunity. It allows us to accurately measure standing fluid levels and detect structural issues like cracks or leaks. With our high-definition camera inspection toolsand flow tests, we can identify clogs or sagging lines without pumping. If we find any problems that require pumping, we’ll recommend it afterward — saving you from unnecessary costs or having to pump again before repairs.
How Long Does a Septic Inspection Take?
Most inspections take 1 to 1.5 hours on-site. We respect your time and arrive prepared to complete a thorough inspection without delays.
When Will I Receive My Septic Inspection Report?
Your digital septic inspection report will be delivered within 24 hours and includes:
- A report emailed directly to you with detailed pictures included
