Schessler Excavation and Septic
Septic Tank Inspector in Billings, MT
Located in Billings, Montana, Schessler Excavation and Septic provides visual inspection, tank pumping, and system repair for residential and commercial properties with on-site wastewater systems. The company's visual inspection service involves assessing the above-ground components of the septic system — tank condition, drain field surfacing, plumbing connections, and overall system function — without excavating the tank, while its tank pumping service focuses on removing accumulated sludge and scum from the tank, essential maintenance that prevents drain field failure and extends system life. Service coverage extends to nearby areas including Laurel, Shepherd, Lockwood, Billings Heights, and Huntley, where many properties rely on private septic systems rather than municipal sewer. Schessler Excavation and Septic maintains a 4.1-star rating from early customer feedback, with clients noting punctuality and clear explanations of inspection findings. Customers can contact Schessler Excavation and Septic directly to schedule an inspection or request a quote through the company's website at www.schesslersepticandexcavation.com. In Montana, septic systems are regulated by Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) / Local County Health. The state recommends inspections every 3–5 years. While the city core is on municipal sewer, many homes in Yellowstone County and the surrounding rural subdivisions, ranchettes, and outlying communities rely on private septic systems. Montana does not mandate a statewide time-of-transfer septic inspection, though lenders and some counties may require one.
