Wastewater and sewer inspection checklists
For sewer districts and public works departments in any state: construction and acceptance of public sewer mains, private laterals and interceptors, and grease (FOG) compliance at food service businesses. Test methods follow common standards (UNI-B-6, ASTM F1417, ASTM C1244). Values marked "typical" are common values from published sewer agency standards and pretreatment rules; replace them with your own agency's standards and ordinances. Test items take a numeric reading (psi, minutes, gallons per hour, percent of depth); where a typical limit applies, readings outside it are flagged.
-
Food service grease (FOG) compliance inspection
Routine inspection of a restaurant or other food service business's grease interceptor, kitchen practices and pump-out records.
-
Grease and sand-oil interceptor installation
Installation of a gravity grease interceptor, sand-oil separator or sampling manhole for a new or remodeled business, before backfill and after paving.
-
Private sewer lateral inspection and tests
Inspection of a building's private lateral from the public sewer to the building drain: new connections, repairs and abandonments, with the exfiltration or air, hydrostatic and dye tests.
-
Sewer main line acceptance testing
Witnessed acceptance tests on a new or modified public sewer main before paving. Note each section or manhole tested, the readings, and any failures and retests.
-
Sewer main line construction inspection
Periodic, pre-pavement and final inspections of a public sewer main extension built by a developer or contractor, through to acceptance. Record test results with the acceptance testing template.

In inspectorjay, each item gets a pass or fail, a dictated note, and geotagged photos, and the finished report goes to the contractor before you leave the site instead of waiting for the clipboard to make it back to the office.
