Septic Dye 

What is a septic dye test?

The most common and affordable way to visually inspect a septic system is to perform a dye test.  This test involves flushing fluorescent dye into the waste lines and running plumbing fixtures simultaneously for 30-45 minutes.  The inspector will look for any backups, slow-draining fixtures and/or surface breakouts with dye.  If dye is found on the ground surface, it is a strong indication that the septic system has failed.
