This is an investigation of RFS #13-0493 for the establishment. Burling was called to empty the septic tank and Maquet was called to do the plumbing. There was no sign of sewage back up in the basement. The main problem that was noted by the bartender was that the sinks were slow to drain. There was no visible issues with the septic tank or the basement being flooded. There was new plumbing found in the basement as noted by Mr. Espinoza and this was due to the collection pipe into the septic tank that had been clogged. There was no issue with sewage or damage in the kitchen or food storage. I did request that the cans in the basement be taken for recycling and continued maintenance of the septic system. Requested a copy of the septic pumping and the plumbing receipts. Please fax to (309) 679-6174.

This complaint can be closed.
No violation noted during this evaluation.
