Performed a septic system inspection per county health department requirements on a tile field system with two septic tanks. Risers were verified to grade, sludge levels checked, and tank condition and mechanical components assessed as good, with no surfacing, ponding, or discharge issues noted. Following the inspection, both tanks were pumped, and the overall system condition was documented as good.

Responded to a main drain blockage in the basement and inspected the lower-level laundry area, including the double-basin concrete laundry sink and associated drain lines.
