Septic Tank Inspections
Thorough septic tank inspections carried out by experienced drainage specialists. We identify faults, blockages, structural issues and maintenance requirements to help prevent costly repairs and ensure your system is operating correctly.
What Is a Septic Tank Inspection?
A septic tank inspection is a thorough, hands-on assessment of your septic system carried out by our experienced drainage engineers. Unlike a basic check, our inspections go deeper — identifying faults early so you can act before small problems become expensive ones.
We cover all system types including traditional septic tanks, package treatment plants and cesspools across the South West.
What We Check
- Tank structure, walls and covers for cracks or damage
- Inlet and outlet pipes for blockages or displacement
- Sludge and scum levels inside the tank
- Soakaway or drainage field condition and performance
- Signs of leakage, overflow or ground contamination
- Pump and alarm systems (where installed)
- General maintenance requirements and system lifespan
When Should You Book an Inspection?
- Slow or gurgling drains inside the property
- Unpleasant odours inside or outside the building
- Wet or waterlogged ground near the tank or soakaway
- The system hasn't been inspected in 12+ months
- Before purchasing or selling a property with a septic system
- After unusually heavy rainfall or flooding
