Why Real Estate Septic Inspections Are Essential

A septic system is a significant part of any property’s infrastructure. Without a professional inspection:

Buyers risk purchasing a home with hidden septic issues that could lead to expensive repairs or replacement soon after moving in.
Sellers risk failed inspections during escrow, delaying or jeopardizing the sale.
Agents face potential liability and unhappy clients if septic problems are discovered later.

Our inspections provide clear documentation and expert recommendations, ensuring everyone involved knows the system’s true condition.

What Our Real Estate Septic Inspections Include

We perform a multi-step evaluation to assess every critical part of the septic system:

Detailed System Record Review

We gather available records on the tank’s age, past maintenance, pumping history, and any known repairs.

Visual Inspection of Components

Our technicians check tank lids, risers, filters, baffles, and piping for signs of wear, damage, or leaks.

Tank and Wastewater Level Check

We measure sludge and scum levels to determine whether the tank is functioning correctly or overdue for pumping.

Water Flow and Drain Field Test

We run water through the system to observe drainage speed and check for backups, pooling water, or absorption issues in the drain field.

System Integrity Assessment

We look for cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, or other structural problems that could cause future failures.

Comprehensive Report

We provide a written inspection report detailing the system’s condition, any immediate concerns, and recommendations for repairs or ongoing maintenance. This report can be used as part of closing negotiations or future planning.

Most inspections take 1–2 hours, depending on tank size, accessibility, and system complexity.

Who pays for the septic inspection, the buyer or the seller?

This is negotiable, but typically buyers arrange and pay for the inspection during due diligence.

What happens if problems are found?

We provide a detailed written report so buyers and sellers can agree on repairs, replacements, or price adjustments before closing.
