Get A QuoteWhy is a Professional Septic Inspection Essential?
For most people, the septic system is "out of sight, out of mind." A professional inspection reveals its true condition.
- For Home Buyers: Don't buy a home with a hidden, costly problem. A septic inspection is as crucial as a home inspection and is often required for mortgages (like FHA/VA loans).
- For Home Sellers: A pre-listing inspection builds trust with buyers and can speed up the sale. It allows you to fix any issues on your own terms or price the home accordingly.
- For Homeowners: Routine inspections (every 3-5 years) are the key to maximizing your system's lifespan. We can catch small issues like failing baffles or early-stage clogs before they lead to a complete system failure.
What Does Our Comprehensive Inspection Include?
We go far beyond a simple visual check. Our full inspection is a top-to-bottom evaluation of every major component:
- Locating the System: We safely locate the tank, lid(s), and drain field.
- Tank Integrity Check: We open the tank to inspect its structural integrity, checking for any cracks, leaks, or corrosion.
- Component Inspection: We examine the inlet and outlet baffles to ensure they are intact and functioning. A broken baffle is a primary cause of drain field failure.
- Sludge & Scum Level Measurement: We measure the levels inside the tank to determine if it is being overused or if it's due for pumping.
- Drain Field (Leach Field) Evaluation: We walk the drain field area to look for signs of saturation, ponding, or system failure (like lush green patches or foul odors).
- Flow & Load Test: We perform a test by running water inside the home to observe how the system handles a typical load and ensure water is flowing properly from the house to the tank and out to the drain field.
- (Optional: Add if you offer it) Video Camera Inspection: For the most thorough diagnosis, we can use a sewer camera to inspect the condition of the pipes leading to and from the tank.
