Why a Septic Inspection Is Worth It
A septic system is one of the most expensive parts of a rural or suburban home to replace, and most of it is underground where a standard home inspection can't see it. A dedicated septic inspection tells buyers what they're getting and helps sellers avoid last-minute surprises.
What an Inspection Typically Covers
- Locating the tank and drain field
- Checking sludge and scum levels
- Inspecting baffles, lids, and inlet and outlet pipes
- Looking for leaks, cracks or signs of backup
- Evaluating the drain field for saturation or failure
- A written report of findings
Septic Inspection FAQ
When do I need a septic inspection?
Most often when buying or selling a home with a septic system. It's also smart if you've never had the system checked, or if you notice warning signs.
Does an inspection include pumping?
A thorough inspection usually requires pumping so the inspector can see the tank's walls, baffles and inlet and outlet. Ask the provider what their inspection includes.
