Yearly Maintenance Inspection
In some areas, OWTS owners are required to have a maintenance inspection performed on a yearly basis by an Accredited Inspector to ensure proper function of the system and prevent problems. Yearly (or more frequent) inspections may be required if the system employs an advanced treatment unit, or if the septic tank is substandard (e.g., under 1,000 gallons, or manufactured of metal or redwood instead of now-standard concrete, fiberglass or polyethylene [plastic]) To find an Accredited Inspector in your area, check our Septicguy.com, "Dig up an Onsite Pro" section. <
