We inspect the system's tank(s) affluent level, inlet and outlet baffles, pump, pump float, and pump alarm float. If the absorption bed can be located, we will probe the seepage area to determine if it is functioning in a satisfactory manner.

NOTE: To perform this inspection we require that all tank lids be exposed and accessible.
