A septic system inspection gives you a clear picture of how your system is holding up so you can plan maintenance before small problems become expensive ones. Inspections are useful for routine upkeep, before buying or selling a home, or when something about the system has changed. Annapolis Septic Service provides residential and commercial septic inspections for property owners in Annapolis, Deale, Edgewater, and communities throughout Anne Arundel, Calvert, Prince George’s, and Queen Anne’s counties. Based in Deale, Maryland, and family operated by the Gessford family since 1967, we explain what we find and recommend service based on your system’s actual condition.
During an inspection, our team evaluates the visible and accessible parts of your system and notes any concerns we can observe. Depending on the type of inspection, this may involve checking the tank, the liquid and sludge levels, the baffles, and accessible components, and observing how the system is functioning at the time of service.
An inspection reports on the conditions we can observe and helps you plan next steps. It does not guarantee that a system will not fail in the future, certify code compliance, or replace an engineering evaluation. If we find something that needs attention, we explain what we saw and recommend the appropriate follow-up.
