Contact John The Plumber today to schedule your inspection and keep your home safe!
With extensive experience in inspecting septic systems of all types, we assess every critical component, from the tank to the soil, surface drainage, and plumbing lines. Whether you’re buying a new home, maintaining an existing system, or ensuring compliance with local Ontario regulations, we’re here to help protect your investment and your home’s environment.
We provide thorough septic system assessments for homeowners, homebuyers, and real estate professionals. Septic system processes involve two main stages where bacteria break down sewage and wastewater. Our inspections cover all the critical septic system components, including the septic tank, inlet, outlet, alarms, and drainage field. We also evaluate wastewater flows, flush function, and potential leaks, ensuring that the entire system is performing as it should.
Whether it’s part of a home inspection or routine maintenance, we inspect for signs of sludge buildup, sewage backups, or poor system design that can affect your groundwater or drinking water supply.
If you’re dealing with slow drains, toilet backups, strong odours, or leaks, you may need an emergency septic tank inspection. We respond quickly to plumbing emergencies, providing on-site evaluations and immediate repair recommendations to help you avoid more serious problems.
Our team checks for tank overflows, surface pooling, bacteria presence, and any signs of failure that may pose risks to your home or the surrounding communities. We assist in identifying the source of the problem, whether it’s poor maintenance, bad practices, or outdated septic designs.
Regular inspections are the key to a long-lasting and efficient septic system. Our routine service includes system-wide checkups of liquid levels, sludge, tank structure, and flow to and from the septic tank.
We assess how well your system is pumped, whether your inlet is clear, and if your alarms or overflow protection features are working. This proactive care ensures you meet local standards, maintain your property’s septic system, and protect your plumbing system and water supply.
