Your septic system works quietly behind the scenes until it doesn’t. Regular septic system inspections are one of the most effective ways to prevent potentially costly septic system repairs, avoid messy backups, and keep your system performing at its best. Whether you own a residential or commercial property, a proper inspection ensures your system runs efficiently and meets all local regulations.
Why Septic Inspections Matter
Many homeowners don’t think about their septic system until there’s a problem. But routine septic system inspections can make all the difference by ensuring your septic system is healthy and reliable.
Here’s why they matter:
- Detect leaks, cracks, and blockages early – Inspections reveal hidden issues like pipe damage or buildup before they cause a system failure.
- Prevent costly repairs and emergencies – Small problems are easier and cheaper to fix when caught early.
- Ensure compliance with local regulations – Regular inspections help you stay up to code, especially if you’re selling your home or renovating.
- Prolong the life of your system – A well-maintained system can last for decades, protecting your investment and the environment.
What’s Included in a Septic System Camera Inspection
A septic system camera inspection provides a detailed, non-invasive look inside your underground wastewater system. Using a waterproof, high-resolution camera, we inspect your tank and pipes to see exactly what’s happening below the surface without disturbing your yard or landscaping. This advanced method helps us identify blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and other potential issues early, before they turn into costly problems.
A complete inspection typically includes:
Septic Tank Condition and Size
We assess your tank to confirm it’s appropriately sized for your household’s water usage. Our team measures scum and sludge levels and checks for structural damage, corrosion, or leaks that could affect performance.
Drain Field Performance
We evaluate your drain field for standing water, backflow, or slow drainage key warning signs of biomat buildup or system overload. Early detection can prevent major repairs or full replacements.
System Flow Assessment
From your home’s plumbing to the septic tank and out to the drain field, we track how wastewater moves through the system. Any signs of slow drainage or backups are carefully investigated to locate and correct the underlying issue.
Condition of Components
All visible and accessible parts including pipes, joints, seals, and moving mechanisms are inspected for cracks, clogs, misalignments, or wear. We make sure every component is properly sealed and functioning as it should.
At BioFlow, we take a comprehensive approach to septic system inspections, ensuring every part of your system is performing at its best and nothing gets missed.
How Often Should You Schedule Inspections?
We recommend annual inspections to ensure your system remains in good working order and to catch any potential issues early. In Canada, it’s important to have your system inspected each spring to detect any damage that could have occurred during the winter.
Regular inspections are especially important:
- Before buying or selling a property
- After heavy rainfall or flooding
- When you notice performance changes
Being proactive helps you avoid emergencies and maintain the health of your septic system year-round.
