Why get a septic inspection
A failing septic system can cost thousands to fix, and it rarely shows up in a standard home inspection. A septic inspection checks the tank and drain field so there are no surprises after you move in.
An inspection usually covers:
- Locating the tank and drain field
- Pumping the tank to see its condition
- Checking baffles, lids and the tank for cracks or leaks
- Checking how well the drain field takes water
- A written report you can share with your agent or lender
Buying land to build on? You'll need a site evaluation rather than an inspection. See new septic installation. Typical inspection prices are on our septic prices page.
