What to Expect During Your Septic Inspection

Our inspection process begins with collecting helpful information about the property:

• Is the home currently occupied?

• How many people use the system?

• If vacant, how long has it been unoccupied?

• When was the system installed?

• Have there been any repairs or alterations?

• What is the size of the septic tank?

• Is there more than one tank on the property?

• When was it last pumped?

• Are tank lids accessible, or is digging required?

• Do you have a permit, diagram, or any system documentation?

If you do not have this information, we’ll coordinate with the local health department or governing agency to retrieve available records.

After completion and payment, a detailed inspection report will be emailed to you and/or your realtor for convenience and documentation.

Please note: Payment for the inspection and pumping is due at the time of service.

Our Inspection Process Includes:

• Plumbing & Drainage Review
  We check that all wastewater, including gray water, is correctly routed to the septic system and ensure no storm or gutter water enters the system.

• Hydraulic Load Testing
  We simulate daily water usage (250–600 gallons depending on home size) to observe how the system handles flow and assess drainfield performance.

• Tank Inspection
  We open and inspect the tank(s) to evaluate the baffles, sanitary tees, tank condition, and water level.

• Separation Measurements
  We gather data on distances between the system, the home, nearby wells, and other critical reference points.

• Tank Pumping
  Once the inspection is complete, we pump out the tank(s) to finalize the process.
