Septic System Checkup: Estimating water use with a water meter Mobile App

Inspectors should analyze water use as part of the functional inspection. High water use contributes to septic system failure in two major ways: (a) high water flows tend to stress the absorptive capacity of soils; and (b) overly large flows are likely to carry over solids from the septic tank and thereby clog the soil absorption system.


Use this app to assess and document water-use problems involving water supply or water main in a septic system through evaluating a meter enclosure. As an inspector, use this app to document meter readings of flow rate for domestic water issues that impact drinking water for a septic system treating wastewater.GoCanvas provides a Active User Report
