Professional Septic System Inspections

When Do You Need a Septic Inspection?

Buying a Home

Know exactly what you're getting. Avoid inheriting a $15,000 septic replacement.

Selling Your Home

Proactive inspections speed up closing and demonstrate system care to buyers.

Before Major Repairs

Understand the full scope before spending thousands on repairs or replacements.

System Age 15+ Years

Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive failures.

After Property Purchase

Establish a baseline condition and maintenance schedule for your new home.

Noticing Warning Signs

Slow drains, odors, or soggy areas warrant immediate professional inspection.

What Problems Do Inspections Catch?

Tank Overdue for Pumping

Solids entering drain field cause permanent clogging ($8,000-$15,000 repair)

Failed or Missing Baffles

Allows solids to escape tank, reducing system efficiency and lifespan

Cracked or Leaking Tank

Environmental contamination and structural failure requiring replacement

Drain Field Saturation

Most expensive repair - entire field replacement needed ($10,000-$20,000)

Improper Installation

Code violations that prevent passing inspection for sale or refinancing

Root Intrusion

Tree roots damage pipes and tank, requiring excavation and repairs

The Bottom Line: A $300-$400 inspection can identify problems that cost $8,000-$20,000 to repair. For home buyers, this is the most important inspection you'll do - septic failures are one of the costliest surprises in home ownership.
