Nico Septic Inspections

Nico Septic Inspections does not install septic systems or perform repairs and has no financial interest in the septic inspection results. What this means is that you are assured accurate and impartial septic inspection results! A septic system receives, treats and disposes of unwanted wastewater and solids from a building's plumbing system.

Solids are partially broken down into sludge within a septic tank and are separated from effluent (water) and scum (fat, oil and grease). Effluent regularly exits the tank into a drainfield where it is naturally filtered by bacteria and reentered into the groundwater. Scum and sludge must be pumped periodically and should never enter the drainfield.
