How Often Does a Septic System Need To Be Inspected in Clark County?
Clark County Public Health requires routine operation and maintenance inspections for every property served by a septic system. Your schedule depends on the type of system you have:
- Conventional gravity and pump-to-gravity systems: Every three years
- Pressure distribution systems: Every two years
- Sand filters, sand mounds, aerobic treatment units, and other advanced systems: Every year
Food establishments need a yearly inspection no matter what system they use. Properties more than a year past due are charged a non-compliance fee, so it’s important to stay on schedule.
How Do I Know What Type of Septic System I Have?
Look up your parcel in Clark County’s Property Information Center to find your system records. Your property documents should include the as-built drawing, original permit, and design. You can also search your address on OnlineRME to see past inspection reports, which list your system type.
A few clues in your yard can also help you narrow it down. An alarm panel near the tank usually means you have a pump, while a raised, grassy hump signals a sand mound. If your records are missing or don’t match, our technicians can locate the components and identify which system your property relies on.
Common Signs Your Septic System Needs Service
If you notice any of the following, cut back on water use and give us a call to schedule service as soon as possible:
- Drains running slowly throughout the house
- Gurgling sounds coming from toilets or drains
- Soggy or unusually green grass over the drain field
- Wastewater backing up into your basement drains or fixtures
- A pump or high-water alarm going off
Can Heavy Rain Affect a Septic System?
Clark County’s long wet season puts added strain on local septic systems. When the ground stays saturated from fall through spring, the drain field has nowhere to send wastewater and the whole system starts to slow down.
You’ll often notice toilets slow down, the yard turning soggy, or sewage backups in your lowest drains. If warning signs stick around after the weather dries out, there’s likely a problem with the system itself that requires a professional inspection from our team.

"When we were building our house they came out looked at our plans, looked at our area and picked the perfect correct size right septic for our new build. They were so professional and helpful answered all my questions, answered all our builders questions I would totally use them again. We did just recently use them again as we had a clog in our septic and they were very fast at getting, out getting it fixed and getting everything working again. So great to know they are there for any emergency."– Traci M.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my septic tank needs pumping or my system needs repair?
Slow drains, odors, and gurgling often point to a full tank that needs pumping, while recurring problems and soggy ground are signs you need repair. Our technicians check the whole system on every visit, so you know exactly what it needs.
What should I do if sewage starts backing up into my home?
If sewage starts backing up into your home, immediately stop using water and call us for emergency service. While you wait for our team to arrive, keep kids and pets away from wastewater.
What affects the cost of septic pumping or repair in Clark County?
Pumping costs depend on how many gallons we remove, your tank size, and how easy it is to access the lids. Repair costs vary with the problem, the parts involved, how much digging is required, and whether the work needs a county permit.
