Upfront Septic performed a septic system inspection at a property in Lakebay, WA, to evaluate the condition of the home's two-compartment septic tank and identify any maintenance or repair needs. Overall, the system was found to be in good condition at the time of inspection, with one issue identified involving the outlet transport line.
During the inspection, our technicians noted that the effluent filter located beneath the second tank lid requires regular cleaning. We recommend removing the filter and rinsing it thoroughly every six months before reinstalling it. Routine filter maintenance helps prevent buildup from restricting wastewater flow through the septic system.
The primary concern identified was a settled outlet transport line. When this line settles, it can affect the proper movement of wastewater through the system and should be corrected to help maintain reliable operation. Recommended follow-up work includes excavating the transport line and regrading it to correct the settled section.
Addressing the settled line and maintaining the effluent filter can help support the continued performance of the septic system.
