Septic System Homeowner Training

In Whatcom County property owners can complete evaluations of their septic systems if they become trained and certified to perform septic system evaluations.

When you take our free training in person or online, you will be certified to evaluate your own system. You can save money and have confidence knowing how your septic system works.

If your system is not eligible for homeowner evaluation or you simply don’t want to do it yourself, this class is still for you. The training covers the way septic systems work and provides tips for proper maintenance. You will leave feeling good about understanding how this expensive and important piece of your property works.

When you complete the training in person, you also qualify to apply for rebates on repairs or maintenance costs for your septic system.

Homeowners who took this class said:
