What Does a Septic Real Estate Inspection Include?
Our septic real estate inspections are designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the entire septic system. We dig a test hole over 5 feet deep, determining the type of soil surrounding your system. Then, we examine the system itself. Here’s what you can expect:-
Records Review: If available, we’ll review any existing permits, blueprints, or maintenance records related to the septic system. A comprehensive records review helps us establish the age, type, and potential history of the system.
-
Locating the System: If the location of the septic tank and drain field is not immediately apparent, we’ll use our expertise and tools to pinpoint their location.
-
Visual Inspection: We’ll thoroughly examine all accessible components of the system:
-
Septic Tank: We’ll check the tank for cracks, damage, and proper baffle condition. We utilize a tool called the “sludge judge” to measure the level of sludge buildup. Excessive sludge buildup could indicate the need for immediate pumping.
-
Distribution Box (if present): We’ll inspect the distribution box which controls the flow of wastewater from the septic tank to different sections of the drain field. If present, we’ll ensure that the flow is being properly distributed.
-
Drain Field: We’ll visually inspect the drain field for signs of surfacing effluent, soggy areas, uneven settling,or any other indications of potential problems.
-
Septic Tank: We’ll check the tank for cracks, damage, and proper baffle condition. We utilize a tool called the “sludge judge” to measure the level of sludge buildup. Excessive sludge buildup could indicate the need for immediate pumping.
- Report and Recommendations: After the inspection, we’ll provide you with a detailed report outlining our findings. We’ll identify any issues or concerns and offer recommendations for addressing them.
