Septic Tank
Pumping & Repair
Septic systems in Pierce County must meet local and Washington State health requirements for proper installation, repair, inspection, and maintenance. Depending on the work needed, permits or approval from the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department may be required.
Our team helps homeowners understand what’s required, identify the appropriate next steps, and keep septic work compliant with current regulations—without making the process more complicated than it needs to be.
County Routine Inspections

Home Sale
Inspections
If you’re selling a property with an on-site septic system
in Pierce County, a Report of System Status (RSS) must
be completed and submitted to the Health Department before the property can change ownership.
From inspection and pumping to completing and submitting the required paperwork, Chris’ Plumbing & Septic can help you get your septic requirements taken care of and keep your home sale moving toward closing.
Drain Field
Repair & Installation
Your drain field is a critical part of your septic system, and in Pierce County it receives special attention during a home sale. During any inspection a drain field stress test might be done. This test introduces a controlled amount of water into the system to make sure the drain field can properly absorb wastewater.
If the drain field cannot properly handle the water, repairs and county approval may be required before the any inspection report can be filed.
