Aerobic and Anaerobic Septic Systems

A large percentage of homes in Texas are serviced by private septic systems.  We highly recommend the evaluation of these systems.

Septic inspections for aerobic systems include:

• Evaluation of the control cabinet as well as visible electrical components.
• Operability and condition of the system’s aerator.
• The condition of the visible portions of the septic tanks and recommendations for pumping of the tank system.
• The condition of the septic system’s absorption area.
• Observations of the system’s proximity to water wells or other sensitive areas.
• We conduct a stress test by introducing large amounts of water into the system, while the operation of the system is under observation.

Septic inspections for anaerobic systems include:

• The condition of the visible portions of the septic tanks and recommendations for pumping of the tank system.
• The condition of the septic system’s absorption area.
• Observations of the system’s proximity to water wells or other sensitive areas.
• We also conduct a stress test by introducing large amounts of water into the system, while the operation of the system is under observation.

Water Well

Clients purchasing homes served by a water well should certainly have the well inspected.  Paragon’s well inspection includes evaluation of:

• Condition and elevation of the well’s casing and associated above ground piping
• Evaluation of the system’s pressure tank
• Inspection of the well’s visible electrical system and associated pressure switches
• Observations of the system’s performance through a stress test. We cycle the well’s pump on and off multiple times and then remove large quantities of water from the well.
• If desired, a water quality test can be performed. This includes taking a sample from the well and then sending it to a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) approved lab where it is tested for the presence of Coliform and E. Coli.

Chris did an amazing job in inspecting the property and being thorough with it. We needed him to go back out and inspect the sewer, as the seller had not indicated where it was, and Chris was able to go back out the same day I called him. He also took the time to go through the entire inspection report with me and answer all of my questions. Indeed, I highly recommend this company! Candace Lubojasky
