Septic Compliance Inspection Pumping for Mound System in Orono / Long Lake, MN

2026-08-12 · Long Lake, Hennipen County, MN · Septic Compliance Inspection Pumping

Problem

A property in the Long Lake and Orono, Minnesota area required septic tank pumping as part of a septic compliance inspection. The system consists of two 1,000-gallon septic tanks, a 1,000-gallon pump tank, and a mound drainfield system. When we arrived, the manhole covers for both septic tanks were approximately 6 inches below grade and covered with soil. The buried manholes needed to be located and dug up to provide proper access for pumping and inspection of the tanks. Because this property falls under Orono septic oversight, proper access to the system components is especially important when preparing the septic system for a compliance inspection.

Solution

Minnesota Sewer Pros provided septic pumping services at this Long Lake / Orono area property in preparation for a septic compliance inspection. We uncovered the two septic tank manholes, which were buried approximately 6 inches below grade, to provide proper access to the tanks. The system includes two 1,000-gallon septic tanks and a 1,000-gallon pump tank serving a mound septic system. The tanks were pumped as required for the compliance inspection so the septic system components could be properly evaluated. Exposing the actual manhole openings rather than attempting to service a system through smaller inspection ports allows better access for pumping, cleaning, and inspection of the tanks. This septic compliance inspection pumping service was completed in the Long Lake and Orono, Minnesota 55356 area of Hennepin County.
