Soil Evaluations
Soil evaluations are performed to determine the suitability of a proposed site for ground absorption sewage disposal. Septic inspections are performed on existing septic systems for the purpose of acquiring a building permit for structural additions, new mobile homes, swimming pools, etc.
The inspection of installations on all new sewage disposal systems is performed to insure compliance with the rules and regulations that govern these systems. Permits are issued for both new septic systems as well as any needed repairs. Environmental Health Specialists also investigate complaints relative to onsite wastewater.
