A SEPTIC SYSTEM HAS FOUR MAJOR COMPONENTS:
1. A house sewer line carries the waste to the septic tank.
2. A septic tank prepares the waste material for disposal into the leaching system
3. A liquid distribution "D" box may be used to distribute the effluent
uniformly through the leaching system.
4. A leaching system which may consist of a drain field, trenches, leaching pits,
beds or galleries, which help purify the effluent, by filtration through the soil.
COMMON CAUSES of Septic FAILURE
Neglecting to inspect and clean the septic tank regularly.
Lack of understanding on proper use of the system.
Poor soil conditions and/or faulty design or installation.
The signs of failure include high surface water in the leaching area, lush growth of grass, odor and waste water draining slowly from the bathroom or kitchen, or even backing up into the house.
Before contemplating the purchase of a house in Connecticut , have a Connecticut Septic Inspection specialist Evaluate and Pump clean the systems tank then do a inspection of the septic system. It may save you thousands of dollars
The Inspection consists of three parts:
System Use:
Evaluating Septic Tank Performance:
Next we check the construction and installation of the tank. We evaluate soil system performance, and distribution boxes when necessary.
The Leaching System:
We inspect the leaching system itself. This inspection also includes:
1. Distribution
2. Soils
3. Surface Water
4. System Performance
5. Surfacing Effluents
