Aerobic Treatment Systems

Aerobic system inspection and service.

Aerobic treatment systems, also called extended treatment septic systems, have working parts a conventional tank doesn't, and they need to be looked after every year.

Perry is factory certified and licensed to service and inspect six brands of these systems across Idaho's Treasure Valley.

How It Works

One visit covers inspection and service.

EVERY VISIT

What a maintenance visit covers

Every visit covers checking all tanks for solids accumulation and servicing the aerobic components of the system. Effluent quality is tested if required and requested. The exact work varies by system, because they are not all the same.

EVERY YEAR

Annual inspection and service

All aerobic treatment systems are required to have an annual inspection and service, along with a signed maintenance agreement between the service provider and the homeowner. Perry reminds you when the next one is due.

AFTER EVERY INSPECTION

Reports and records

Within a week of the inspection, the manufacturer's inspection report goes to the owner, the distributor for that brand, and sometimes the realtor, with an additional report when more detail is needed. Every report is also entered into the Online RME system, as required by DEQ and the health districts.

What An Inspection Covers

More than a glance in the tank.

A real inspection means locating and opening the system, measuring sludge and scum levels, checking the tank structure and baffles, evaluating the drainfield, and testing the components specific to your system type.

You get a clear, documented report on the system's condition and what — if anything — needs attention. No guesswork, no vague "looks fine," and no surprises after the fact.

Real-Estate & Point-of-Sale

Buying or selling? An inspection is almost always required first.

We handle point-of-sale inspections across the Treasure Valley, with the documentation lenders and title companies need to close.

On aerobic treatment systems, a home-sale visit is an inspection and service in one. The manufacturer's inspection report goes to the owner, the realtor when there is one, and the distributor for that brand, usually within a week.

Thirty-three years of inspections means there are few surprises we haven't already seen. The goal is simple: catch what matters before it becomes the buyer's problem or the seller's deal-breaker.

Why Experience Matters

Not every system is inspected the same way.

An inspector who only knows conventional systems will miss things on an aerobic unit or a mound. Each system type has its own failure points, its own components, and its own warning signs.

We're certified across the five major system types and know what trouble looks like on each one — long before it surfaces in the yard.
