There needs to be enough lids to access each compartment,and their Quantity: 2-Fiberglass construction need to be sound and meets code.) Lid Condition: 1 Lid Poor RISERS(Risers are lid extensions and if they are at the surface this makes it easier to service and monitor the system.If they are present, we will check them for safety Risers: None and operation.) TANK(We check condition of tank,walls,floor,etc.to determine its construction is Tank Construction: Fiberglass sound,meets code,and is free from defects. We then measure the septic to determine its size and gallons pumped. Tanks need to be pumped for two reasons: Tank Condition: Poor 1 To inspect the septic tank 2. When the scum and sludge thickness exceeds 25%of the tank's depth to insure proper bacterial action and to keep the system working efficiently. Tanks are measured to the best of our ability with a tape measure and can vary due to the limited access.) Inside Length: 9ft x Inside Width: 4ft x Depth of Effluent: 4ft x 7.48=Gallons: 1000 Crust Thickness: 4 *if the above'Percent of Solids"is greater than 40%this may indicate a lack of pumping and/or maintenance of the system,if there is a concern that solids may have filtered out to the Sludge Thickness: 10 leach field, we can do further investigation upon your request.

Water level higher than the outlet pipe or evidence of seepage into the soil through the lids of the tank may Did Water Flow Back: Yes point to possible leach field problems.If the water level is low in the septic then it could be evidence of seam leaking septage out of the tank. We also check Evidence of Surfacing: No around the septic area,if known,to determine if there is any evidence of possible problems indicated by seepage in the soil,odor,or other,If available Gallons Used For we will attempt to test the outgoing line with 100-150 gallons of water— Operation Test: 150 gallons all of the water should be accepted by this line.) Result of Load Test: Poor BAFFLE(The baffle separates the solids in the first compartment and Baffle Construction & allows liquid into the second compartment. The baffles are checked for Condition: Fiberglass -Good defects,that its construction is sound,and meets code.) INLET&OUTLET TEES(We check the inlet and outlet sanitary tees to make Inlet Construction& sure they are securely attached with approximately 12 to 18 inch drop lines Condition: 2—4"ABS T's-Good on each,and that their construction is sound and meets code.) Outlet Construction & EFFUENT FILTER(if present,we will pull this filter,inspect it,and clean it of Condition: 4" SDR 35—Good sludge buildup and reinstall.Not all septic have this filter,but if one is present it should be cleaned annually.) Outlet Filter: NiA TIPS TO KEEP THIS SEPTIC SYSTEM FREE-FLOWING When doing laundry wash loads evenly throughout the week and always run full loads to use water wisely. Normal amounts of household detergents,bleaches,drain cleaners,and other household chemicals can be used and won't stop the bacterial action in the septic tank.But don't use excessive amounts of any household chemicals.Do not dump cleaning water for latex paint brushed and cans into the house sewer Don't deposit coffee grounds.cooking fats, wet-strength towels,disposable diapers,facial tissues.cigarette butts,and other non-decomposable material into the house sewer. These materials won?decompose and will fill the septic tank and plug the system. If you must use a garbage disposal,you will likely need to remove septic tank solids more often. Ground garbage will likely find its way out of the septic tank and plug up the drain field.It is better to compost,incinerate.or deposit the materials in the garbage that will be hauled away. Clean your septic tank every three to five years.How often depends on the size of the tank and how many solids go into it.A rule of thumb is once every 3 years for a 1,000 gallon tank serving a 3 bedroom home with 4 occupants. 2/3 SEPTIC TANK PUMPER REPORT Address: 14U38 Drexel Drive Date of|noponUon:12/31/2R1S RECOMMENDATIONS/ REMARKS/ REPAIR QUOTE Failing inspection—Top chunk of tank is broken on inlet side. Leach lines are leaching very slow. Possible blockage outside of tank. Can investigate leach lines for%25O $750 depending on labor.Will need to send someone out to quote o new tank. The average septic tank should be pumped every three hn five years to insure proper bacteria[ action and to keep the system working efficiently. As you knovv, this maintenance is critical to the over-all performance of the sewage disposal system, neglecting to perform this maintenance can lead to premature backing up of your septic tank. | also recommend water conservation should be enlisted for household water use to maximize the life expectancy of the absorption trenches. Each septic system has a certain capacity. When this capacity in reached or exceeded, there will likely be problems because the system won't take as much sewage as you want todischarge into it. When the onoite sewage treatment system reaches its daily capacity, be conservative with your use of water. Each gallon of water that flows into the drain must go through the septic tank and into the soil absorption unit. There may be other ways to conserve water that you can think of in your home. The main idea is to consider water as a ve|uob|o resource and not to waste it. Take care of any household leaks to avoid unnecessarily saturating the leach trenches. Following a few simple rules like not using too much water and not depositing materials in the septic tank that bacteria can't decompose should help to make septic system trouble free for many years. But don't forget the septic tank does need to be cleaned out when ton many solids build up. Septic tanks need tender. loving care too! On behalf ofall of ua, thank you for this opportunity to work with you.
