Description
The purpose of a dye test is to determine if there is a
malfunction of an on-lot sewage septic system. This is
done by introducing a strong dye into the system typically
through a toilet, sink or "take out". As water
is run through the system, this (non-toxic and non-staining) dye will create a visible
trace of any possible seepage or discharge to the surface.
Qualifying
Questions
If you answer "yes" to any of the following
questions, you will need to perform a dye test:

you buying an existing property with an existing on-lot
sewage septic system? And do you want to determine if the
system is malfunctioning?
-
Does
your lending institution require that you verify that an
existing on-lot sewage septic system is in working order?
-
Do
you want to confirm a suspected malfunction in an existing
on-lot sewage septic system and/or determine where the
