Inspect the inlet sanitary tee inside the septic tank. Look for any large accumulations of plastics, wipes, or other non-flushable items that could cause blockages or system issues. Also, check the scum layer for any unusual items that indicate improper flushing habits in the household. The presence of a mature scum layer is generally a good sign of proper system function.
