RECCH 0700:00:00Septic Line Inspection explained.
In rural and edge-of-town Middle Tennessee, many homes drain to a septic tank instead of a public sewer. The line from the house to the tank is a normal drain pipe that can sag, crack or fill with roots like any other.
We camera that line from the cleanout to the tank inlet, check the inlet baffle area where visible, and record what we find. We inspect the pipe, not the tank’s inner workings; tank pumping and system inspection are for a septic professional.
