Trusted Septic Tank Installers in Portland, ME

Yes, this type of inspection is called a Voluntary Assessment. All of the same steps in the above inspection detail will be taken. A Voluntary Assessment is a great way to find out more about your own septic system. The Septic Inspector highly recommends this to our clients as a means of properly maintaining, upgrading and repairing your system to prolong its life. Ask us about additional services we can provide to ensure the proper working of your septic system.

You should first get a copy of the As-Built and Design Plans and/or HHE200 of your new system from the Installer or the designer. These plans will help The Septic Inspector to provide more effective service to you in the future, should any repairs be required. It is also helpful to have a diagram of your new septic system in the event of any future landscaping projects, parking places, driveways or other renovations to your home or property. You should also contact The Septic Inspector to set up a Preventative Maintenance Plan to keep your new system running effectively and efficiently. Another great tip is to add a laundry lint filter to your washing machine to protect your new system.

Most municipal and State codes do not allow you to build anything on top of your septic tank or leach field. The Septic Inspector does not advise building any pools, driveways, additions or other items over top of your system. We also suggest strongly that you do not build or plant landscaping on top of your drainfield.
