It is highly recommended to use a licensed septic professional rather than a general home inspector for this specialized service.
During the inspection we will:
Locate the System: Finding the tank and drain field.
Physical Inspection: Checking the tank for structural integrity, cracks, leaks, and ensuring baffles are intact.
Operational Check: Running water inside the home to ensure proper flow into the tank.
Drain Field Inspection: Checking for wet spots, surface sewage, or excessive vegetation, which indicate failure.
Optional Pumping/Inspection: A comprehensive inspection often includes pumping the tank to check sludge levels.
An inspection is important for:
System Life Span: Systems older than 20 years, or those from the 1970s/80s, may not meet current codes and are nearing the end of their life.
Potential Failures: A failed system could require a full, expensive replacement.
Negotiation Tool: Inspection reports provide data for buyers to negotiate repairs or a lower price.
