PSMA Inspections

Allstate Septic Systems employs ten trained and certified inspectors that are experienced and highly skilled in inspecting septic systems in accordance to the PSMA/NOF inspection standards. PSMA/NOF trains and certifies each inspector to perform on-lot wastewater treatment system inspections using the PSMA/NOF standards. These standards have been described as the "industry standard" for on-lot system inspection. The standards embody a protocol which, when fully applied, evaluates every component of an on-lot wastewater treatment system. The components include treatment tanks, distribution systems, siphons, and pumps, and absorption areas.

Every two years, PSMA's Education Committee in conjunction with Penn State University, wastewater system inspectors, and Sewage Enforcement Officers, evaluate the Standards and, when necessary, make revisions. Revisions are important to keep the Standards consistent with the latest industry practices, regulatory changes and evolving scientific knowledge.

The standards cover the below topics:

• Inspector Qualifications
• Training and Continuing Ed Requirements
• On-lot System Operation
• Field Procedures
• Inspection Checklist
• Inspection Reports

If the tank is accessible from the surface, the basic inspection process is usually noninvasive. Periodically, PSMA/NOF offers inspector training at locations across Pennsylvania.
