The State Inspector Shut This Septic System DOWN — Here’s Why

Everything looked right… but one detail caused this septic system to FAIL state inspection.

This is the follow-up to our full septic system install where everything passed visually — until the state inspector showed up. In this video, I walk through exactly what failed, why it mattered, and what had to be corrected to meet state requirements.

If you’re a homeowner, contractor, or just curious how septic inspections really work, this video shows the behind-the-scenes reality most people never get to see. Septic systems aren’t just about digging holes and laying pipe — details matter, and missing one can cost you time, money, and a failed inspection.

👉 This is real-world excavation and septic work — no shortcuts, no fluff, just how it actually goes in the field.

Equipment used on this job:
CAT mini excavator
CAT skid steer
