Necessity is the mother of invention. As a business Student at Portland State University I lived 70 miles from my favorite resort Mt Hood Meadows. Working part time as an instructor to get a season pass and stacking my full time school schedule into 2 or 3 days are all symptoms of an addiction to skiing. The necessity and addiction was further fueled by the opportunity to compete in biathlon compe

titions with the National Guard. As a typical college student I could not afford the 140 mile round trip commute to the Mountain. I tirelessly searched forums and YouTube to build a cooking oil conversion for a 1980 international Scout with a diesel engine. The Blog documenting the conversion is www.VeggieScout.blogspot.com. After commissioning and graduating in 2007 I deployed to Iraq with Aco 41 BSTB (SAPPER) Oregon National Guard. Upon my return I started my hobby full time and it is now becoming my life's work. We have a lot of ambitions ahead of us to accomplish our goals of sustainable energy and look forward to the trip.

A septic tank inspection is a key step in keeping your system running efficiently and avoiding unexpected failures. During the process, a professional checks the tank condition, measures solid and liquid levels, and ensures all components are working properly. In more detailed inspections, the drain field and other system parts may also be evaluated for early signs of issues.

Regular inspections help catch problems early before they turn into costly repairs or system failures. Contact us today to schedule your septic inspection and keep your system in top condition.
