3. Inspection

Camera passes and filter checks identify hairline issues early, from root intrusion to inlet wear.

How often should I pump?

Most Philadelphia, PA households benefit from 2-4 year intervals, adjusted for occupancy, fixtures, and garbage disposal use.

Do additives replace pumping?

Bio-boosts help flow, but only mechanical pumping removes sludge and scum.

Can I landscape over the field?

Choose shallow-rooted plants and avoid trees or heavy beds; compaction and roots are the enemy of percolation.

What if I smell odors?

Smells mean gas movement or saturationfast inspection prevents damage.

Why camera inspections?

Video gives proof, context, and confidenceno digging until we know what is happening inside.

Is bleach safe?

Small amounts are fine; heavy, repeated bleach shocks harm microbes and slow treatment. We guide dosage and safer options.
