What type of inspections should be conducted post-installation?

Post-installation, conducting performance evaluations is essential to ensure that the Wisconsin Mound Soil Absorption System operates effectively and meets design specifications. These evaluations focus on assessing the system's functionality, including checking for adequate drainage, verifying that wastewater is being absorbed properly, and confirming that there are no blockages or failures in the system. Performance evaluations help identify any potential issues early on, enabling timely interventions that can prevent more significant problems later.

While regular maintenance checks, visual inspections, and soil testing are important practices, they serve different purposes. Regular maintenance checks help keep the system running smoothly, and visual inspections may focus on the external appearance rather than functional integrity. Soil testing would primarily concern agricultural or environmental health aspects but does not directly address the operational status of the absorption system itself, which is why performance evaluations are the most critical post-installation step.
