SEPTIC SYSTEM INSPECTIONS

It's more than a stinky mess!
Taking care of your septic system, is taking care of yourself, your wallet, your investment and the environment. Without proper maintenance and inspections, septic systems can fail.

It is now required by the state of Washington that all on-site septic systems to be inspected on a periodic basis. Baker Septic has two licensed inspectors on staff to perform septic inspections in Whatcom County. The frequency for inspection in Whatcom County depends upon the system type. The current state Board of Health rule for on-site sewage systems requires a full evaluation every three years for a system consisting of a septic tank and a drainfield only. All other systems must have a yearly inspection. Starting January 1, 2010, Baker Septic will be licensed to perform septic system inspections in Skagit County.

Schedule your Septic System Inspection,

Maintaining your home septic system with periodic inspections helps:
1. The homeowner saves money and protects their investment in their home.
2. Maintain good faith with neighbors.
3. Prevents small problems from becoming BIG expensive ones.
4. Protect and maintain a healthy watershed and environment.

How you can help:
1. Have regular inspections and maintenance checks every three years for a
system consisting of a septic tank and a drainfield only. All other systems must have a yearly inspection.

2. Mark your calendar. Choose a date and time of the year that is easy to remember to have your septic system inspected.

3. Conserve water. Too much water can cause solids to escape, plugging your
septic system.

4. Never drive a vehicle or heavy equipment over your drainfield area.

5. Have a healthy grass cover on the absorption field area, but avoid planting shrubs
and/or trees within 30 feet of your drainfield.

6. Know what you can and can not flush or pour down the drain that can cause
septic problems:

  • No pet waste
  • No Medications
  • No Grease
  • No Toxic chemicals
  • Limit use of garbage disposal. Any home with a garbage disposal needs their septic tank pumped every year.
  • No Pesticides
  • No Disinfectants
  • No Acids
  • No Bleaches
  • No Paint or Paint Thinner
  • If it did not go through your body it probably won't benefit the septic system

7. Do not treat your system with any enzymes, bacteria additives or chemicals.
Some of these products contain organic chemicals and may even damage the
drainfield or contaminate the groundwater and nearby wells..

8. Keep a record of all septic pumping, inspections, and maintenance.
