Why Septic Inspections Are Essential
Septic systems work quietly underground, but constant use, heavy rainfall, and Georgia’s dense clay soils place them under stress. Issues often remain invisible until they cause foul odors, slow drains, or backups inside your property. Regular inspections reveal these problems early, giving you time to make cost-effective repairs.
Key reasons septic inspections matter:
- Detect cracks, leaks, or corrosion inside the tank
- Confirm drain field performance and soil absorption
- Identify buildup before clogs trigger backups
- Ensure compliance with Georgia health codes
- Provide accurate system reports for property sales or refinancing
Routine inspections protect both property value and public health.
When You Should Schedule a Septic Inspection
Homeowners and business owners in Atlanta should not wait for signs of failure. A proactive inspection schedule saves thousands in repairs. Ms. Rooter Septic and Drain recommends:
- Every 3 years for residential properties with average household use
- Annually for commercial properties, restaurants, or large households
- Before buying or selling a home to ensure system transparency
- After flooding or major storms that may saturate drain fields
- When experiencing slow drains, odors, or soggy patches near the tank or yard
If it has been more than three years since your last inspection, it is time to book one today.
