How to fill out do-it-yourself septic system inspection:

1. Start by gathering the necessary tools and equipment for the inspection, including a flashlight, gloves, a copy of the inspection checklist, and a pen or pencil to mark off completed tasks.
2. Begin the inspection by locating the septic tank. This is typically done by locating the access point or manhole cover in the yard. Use caution when opening the cover and ensure it is secure before proceeding.
3. Once the septic tank is accessible, visually inspect the tank and surrounding area for any signs of damage, leaks, or unauthorized access. Take note of any odors or unusual observations.
4. Proceed to inspect the inlet and outlet baffles. These are typically found near the top of the tank and help regulate the flow of wastewater. Ensure they are in good condition and free from clogs or obstructions.
5. Check the sludge and scum levels within the tank. This can be done using a septic tank inspection stick or a long object that can reach into the tank. Measure the levels and compare them to the recommended levels for pumping.
6. Inspect the distribution box or pipes that connect the septic tank to the drain field. Look for any signs of leaks, damage, or blockages that could affect the proper functioning of the system.
7. Finally, complete the inspection checklist by marking off each completed task and noting any findings or observations. If there are any concerns or issues identified during the inspection, it may be necessary to consult a professional septic system inspector or technician to address them.
