Septic Inspections for Home Buyers & Sellers
A septic system is buried and easy to overlook, but replacing one can cost more than a new roof. An inspection tells you exactly what you're dealing with before you close or before small problems grow.

FAQ
Septic Inspections questions
How long does an inspection take?
Most residential inspections take a few hours on site, depending on how easy the tank is to reach.
Does the tank need to be pumped for an inspection?
A full inspection usually includes pumping so we can see the inside of the tank and the baffles clearly. We'll explain the options when you book.
Can you work with my real estate agent's timeline?
Yes. Let us know your closing date when you call, and we'll do our best to fit your schedule.
