Septic System Inspections

If you are new to septic systems or looking at a home with a septic system and want to educate yourself; please read the helpful articles from the EPA describing different types of septic systems and they work under our helpful links page. 

​

There is also a link on our helpful links page to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality where you can look up licensed septic system installers and maintainers. 

​

While OverWatch Property Solutions LLC is not a licensed installer or maintainer of septic systems, we can still inspect them.  This is often a more cost effective way to identify whether or not you have a serious problem with your system...or if it just needs to be pumped. 

​

A typical septic inspection includes:

• locating septic tank and drain field

• locating septic tank access hatches or ports (if grade level)

• inspecting inlet and outlet baffles

• inspecting condition of tank

• measuring scum level

• measuring sludge level

• inspecting distribution box

• measuring distance from septic system to any water sources
