Why Are These Services Needed?

Planning and inspection work gives owners a clearer basis for decisions before an offer, excavation, expansion, or repair discussion. A system that looks normal at the surface can still need closer review of accessible components, records, or performance.

Ben and company came out today and did a few repairs on my septic as well as a pumping. They came in a $100 cheaper than originally estimated and made the repairs quickly. I would recommend them for either pumping or repairs.

Jake and Ben at A&R Wastewater Management were amazing! We needed immediate assistance with our Sewage Pump/float and they were fast, efficient and kind. They saved us a lot of money, whereas another company was looking to get over on us. Ben answered all of our questions & couldn’t have been any nicer. We are very appreciative and will definitely use them for any of our future needs. We highly recommend them to anyone with Septic or wastewater problems. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We recently had to have our Septic system relocated in our yard - A&R Wastewater Management did a fantastic job and was very reasonably priced considering the size of our project. Jacob was great to work with; he was prompt and thorough with any questions we had, and they had the job completed in two days. Jacob also came back the next day to go over all the tasks that were done and to ensure we were 100% satisfied with the job performed. I highly recommend A&R Wastewater Management for any of your septic needs!

After several years of chemotherapy drugs being dumped into my septic system my septic field failed. Jacob designed and installed our new system. From the time Jacob started digging he had our system installed and back filled within 24 hours. Not only is Jacob the owner, but he did the installation too! I highly recommend A& R Waste Management for septic pumping or septic installation.

Real Estate Inspections

See Documented Conditions Before a Property Changes Hands

An inspection can help clarify accessible conditions for a buyer, seller, owner, or other stakeholder. We tailor the scope around the requested service, available records, access, and the system itself.Inspection may include opening accessible tanks or components, reviewing levels, visible baffles or filters, distribution, controls, and signs in the absorption area.

Pool and Construction Locates

Protect Septic Components Before Digging Begins

We locate septic components so planned excavation around a pool, addition, or other construction can be considered with better information. Tell us about prior plans, visible lids, and known underground features before the visit.

System Evaluations

Identify What the Available Evidence Shows

An evaluation helps narrow possible causes before deciding on major work. We consider reported symptoms, accessible conditions, available records, and relevant testing because a backup, alarm, or slow drainage can have more than one cause.

Repair and Replacement Consultations

Understand Which Next Step Fits the Observed Problem

Repair corrects a specific defective component, while replacement installs new major system components or a complete onsite system. A consultation helps place inspection or evaluation findings in that distinction because one way does not fit every property.

Design and Inspection FAQs

Understand What an Evaluation Can Show

What is included in a septic inspection?

Created with Fabric.js 5.2.4

An A&R inspection evaluates accessible onsite components and documents observed conditions. Depending on the selected scope, we may review available records, assess tank levels and visible parts, evaluate distribution and absorption areas, test accessible mechanical components, and provide photographs, comments, a sketch or aerial reference, and applicable county forms.

Does a septic tank need pumping during a real estate inspection?

Created with Fabric.js 5.2.4

Not always, though pumping may be required or recommended by a county, lender, inspector, or the system’s condition. We can often evaluate visible conditions and measure solids without pumping. Coordinate any pumping with us before the inspection, because emptying the tank beforehand can temporarily hide operating conditions.

Will my septic inspection be pass or fail?

Created with Fabric.js 5.2.4

No, an inspection is more informative than a simple pass or fail result. We document observed failure conditions when an applicable definition is met, and we also identify deficiencies, malfunctions, maintenance needs, and recommended improvements so property owners can understand the condition of accessible system components.

Can I add bedrooms or expand a building with my existing septic system?

Created with Fabric.js 5.2.4

Possibly, but the existing system should be evaluated before an expansion proceeds. Added bedrooms, living space, plumbing fixtures, employees, seating, production, or other wastewater producing uses can change expected flow and may require a permit, modification, or replacement based on available records, site conditions, and local requirements.
