Document the Symptoms and Timing
Describe whether problems follow storms, heavy occupancy or a particular fixture. Include recent pumping, alarm and maintenance records.
Review Accessible Distribution Equipment
A distribution box, connection, pump or control fault can limit normal field loading. State what was observed and which buried elements were inaccessible.
Look at Wet Ground and Site Changes
Surface wetness can have several causes. Compare grading, stormwater, household loading and recent construction rather than relying on appearance alone.
Connect the Field and Tank Records
Approved flow, tank condition and the field layout should be considered together. A sound shell does not prove that the disposal area performs adequately.
Identify the Next Appropriate Step
Findings may support maintenance, component investigation, qualified soil evaluation or replacement planning. Permitting and treatment decisions remain separate from the condition report.
