Dye Test

A tracing test performed by our Sewage Officer to ensure that wastewater and "gray" water are correctly routing into the septic tank, and not elsewhere on the property.  Often required when property is bought or sold. 

Repairs

Most system malfunctions require a repair permit.  Our Sewage Officer will make several visits to your site to advise and guide you in making the appropriate repair.  For your protection, call us before allowing any contractor to begin work.

ARE YOU SUBDIVIDING?

Anytime you re-draw you property lines, or take a small piece from the original piece, you are subdividing.  Special planning documents relating to sewage are NECESSARY, required by your Municipality and the DEP.  These Planning Modules are arranged by contacting us.  Do this BEFORE having your survey approved by anyone.
