Septic inspection:
It is important to understand that not having a licensed or certified inspector review the workability of your septic system can lead to misinformation and ultimately increase the likelihood of needing expensive repairs down the road. It is in your best interest to ensure that the septic system in your potential new home is thoroughly examined for issues like:
Cracked/collapsing tank
Non-functioning laterals lines
An inoperable aerobic pump system
A quick walk-through that involves simply running the water or flushing the toilet is NOT a septic inspection and does not provide an accurate depiction of the workability of your system.

Conventional and Aerobic Septic Inspections in NE Oklahoma
There are several types of septic or wastewater system inspections — which type a property need is determined by the type of system and by the inspector.
Common inspection points include:
- Locating the tank and physically opening it for a thorough inspection.
- Checking liquid level for backup or leaks.
- Ensuring the baffles are present and in good condition.
- Checking the tank for corrosion, cracks, roots, etc.
- Checking the liquid level reaction when wastewater is introduced to the system.
- Checking for backflow from the absorption area.
- Open the lateral lines physically up and inspect the condition of the lateral field
For aerobic wastewater systems (common in Northeast Oklahoma), we also check:
- The Control Box system, breaker, and alarms
- Aeration Pump is properly discharging the correct cfm and pressure for the system.
- Water, waste, and chlorine levels within the tank as well as the overall tank structure.
- Effluent Level and Operation (including pump, screen, and sprayer operation).
