Early detection is key, and our inspections are designed to catch problems in their infancy, saving you time, money, and stress in the long run.

For example a cracked lid allowing sand to get into the tank will cause the tank to fill with sand and reduce the tanks capacity this often leads to drain field failure. We can spot the cracked lid pump and pressure wash the tank to remove sand and sludge and replace the lid all in the same day.

Our Comprehensive Inspection Process

At Alligator Septic, we believe in leaving no stone unturned when it comes to your septic tank's inspection. Our comprehensive service includes:

1. Locate Septic Tank: We start by walking your property to find the tank and drain field. If no manhole covers are present our experts will begin probing to locate the septic tank. Once the opening is found we begin digging down to open the tank cover.

2. Sludge and Scum Level Evaluation: We will measure and evaluate the level of sludge and scum inside your tank. We check for sand and debris in the bottom. This is an indicator of tank or lid damage. This information allows us to determine if pumping is necessary to prevent clogging or system failure.

3. Pumping & Cleaning The Tank: In order to inspect your tank thoroughly its needs to be cleaned thoroughly. we pump the tank down and pressure wash every crevice of the tank to expose possible cracks or missing components that are critical to system longevity.

4. Visually Inspect Tank Interior: After pumping we examine the interior of your septic tank looking for lid damage, sidewall, and bottom damage. We check to see how the inlet pipe coming into the tank looks. We will measure the tank to see how many gallons it is.

5. Drain field Assessment: We start by making sure the outlet baffle is in place and meets code requirements. Then we will run clean water from a hose down the drain field and make sure its draining properly.
