Follow the Symptoms
Note persistent wet ground, sewage odors and dry-weather backups. Irrigation and ordinary drainage can produce similar signs.
Locate Field and Repair Space
Check records for the system footprint and repair area. Look for structures, paving or grading that affect them.
Connect Tank and Field Findings
A high tank level may involve an outlet, dosing pump, leak or field problem. Review the components together.
Agree on Access and Testing
Camera work, excavation and flow testing are not automatic. Define the scope and record inspection limits.
Explain the Next Step
The findings should support repair, further evaluation or replacement planning. An inspection cannot promise permanent future performance.
