You've Got Questions? We've Got Answers
-
Routine inspections should be conducted every 2-3 years as preventative maintenance. However, you should also get an inspection before buying a property with a septic system, when selling your home, when experiencing system issues (slow drains, odors, wet spots in yard), and after extreme weather events that could affect your system. Septic Squad offers flexible scheduling for all these situations.
-
A proper inspection from Septic Squad includes locating and accessing all system components, visual inspection of the tank interior (including baffles, walls, inlet/outlet), measuring sludge and scum layers, checking for signs of leakage or backup, evaluating the drain field for proper absorption, testing pumps and alarms if present, and verifying proper system operation. We document all findings with photos and provide a comprehensive digital report.
-
Most standard residential inspections take 1-2 hours to complete, depending on system complexity and accessibility. If the system has multiple tanks, advanced treatment components, or requires locating buried access points, it may take longer. Septic Squad always provides a time estimate when you schedule your appointment, and we respect your time by arriving promptly.
-
Many counties require a septic inspection before property transfer, though regulations vary by location. Even when not legally required, most mortgage lenders and home insurance companies demand a current septic inspection report before approving financing. Septic Squad provides transaction-ready reports that satisfy lender, county, and buyer requirements, helping your sale proceed smoothly.
-
An inspection evaluates the condition and function of your entire septic system without necessarily removing contents. It's diagnostic in nature, identifying potential issues before they become problems. Pumping, by contrast, removes accumulated solids from your tank to restore capacity. While we often recommend pumping based on inspection findings, they're separate services with different purposes. Septic Squad offers both services and can help determine which is appropriate for your current needs.
