Ensuring Your Home’s Waste Management System is Functioning Properly

What is Septic Dye Testing?

Septic dye testing is a simple yet effective technique used to detect potential leaks or malfunctions in your septic system. The process involves introducing a fluorescent dye into the system and monitoring its flow to identify any issues.

How It Works

  • A non-toxic, brightly colored dye is added to your septic system through a toilet or drain.
  • Water is run through the system to flush the dye.
  • The area around your septic tank and drain field is observed for any signs of the dye appearing on the surface.
  • If dye is visible above ground, it indicates a leak or failure in the system.

Why Choose Septic Dye Testing?

Early Problem Detection: Identify issues before they become major, costly repairs. Non-Invasive: No excavation required, minimizing disruption to your property. Cost-Effective: An affordable way to assess your septic system’s health. Environmental Protection: Prevent potential groundwater contamination
