THE PERMIT CONFUSION
Did Your Permit Say You Need an O&M Inspection?
Many homeowners first see the term “O&M” in their septic permit or health department paperwork and are not sure what it means, what they are responsible for, or who they should call.
O&M stands for Operations and Maintenance. For alternative septic systems, it usually means your system needs to be inspected and maintained on a regular schedule.
Morrison Septic makes the process simple. We help you understand what your paperwork means, inspect your system, and help you stay on track with your requirement.
Not Sure what kind of system you have?
That is okay. Send us a copy or photo of your paperwork, and we can help you figure out the next step.
THE BASICS
What Does O&M Mean?
Three simple ideas behind every Operations & Maintenance inspection we perform.
Operations
Your system needs to be checked to make sure it is operating the way it should.
Maintenance
Alternative systems often have components that need ongoing care, monitoring, or service.
Peace of Mind
Regular inspections can help catch issues early and keep small problems from turning into expensive ones.

Review available permit or system information
Inspect accessible system components
