A septic inspection is a visual examination of a property's septic system to determine its condition and functionality. This inspection typically includes an evaluation of the tank and other components of the system to ensure that they are in good working order and free from any defects or damage. Professional inspectors licensed by the appropriate state or local agency perform this service.

During a septic inspection, a professional inspector will typically:

  1. Locate the septic tank and condition

  2. Check for signs of tank leaks or damage (it is not necessary to pump the tank)

  3. Observe the area of the drainage field and comment on surrounding vegetation that may be cause for root intrusion

  4. Evaluate the system's components, including the pipes, pumps, and other equipment

  5. Identify any potential issues that may need to be addressed

Septic inspections are typically performed for homeowners who are buying or selling a property with a septic system, or for homeowners who are experiencing problems with their system.

Septic inspections are important to ensure that a property's septic system is functioning properly and is in compliance with local regulations. A malfunctioning septic system can pose health risks to the occupants of the property and can also result in expensive repairs or replacement.
