What types of tests are used to check if the septic system is working properly?
JSA: There are three tests used in the industry and each has its advantages and problems. There is (1) a dye test, (2) a probe test, and (3) flooding test. A reputable septic dealer may use some or all of the tests depending on the specific situation. In some cases septic problems are obvious and a test is not needed, however, sometimes the test is a great tool to help find and solve problems that may not be immediately obvious.
