Our excavation roots mean we spot issues others miss, like soil shifts or line blockages tied to U.P. terrain. We talk costs and timelines up front so you stay in control.
Here is how we handle septic tank inspections differently:
- Camera scoping first – We snake high-res cameras into tanks and lines to show live video of buildup, cracks, or root intrusion.
- Full system walk-through – Beyond the tank, we check baffles, inlets, outlets, and drain field signs for the complete picture.
- Honest recommendations – If all looks good, we say so. If repairs make sense, we explain why and what it involves.
- Digital reports – You get photos, video clips, and a simple summary to keep or share with future buyers.
Customers trust us because we point out what matters and skip the upsell. Every inspection ends with a clear report you can understand and act on. Reach out to us today for real answers.

Common reasons to schedule a septic tank inspection include:
- Routine maintenance check
- Slow drains or gurgling pipes
- Wet spots over the drain field
- Before selling your property

- Family size or water use increase
