What’s Included in a Septic System Inspection

Septic system inspections look into the health and condition of your septic system. When getting an inspection, make sure the company checks the entire system, not just the tank.

A septic system inspection should cover:

The tank’s condition and size
A complete evaluation of the drain field area
Any concerns about landscaping or grading that could impact system operation
Issues related to the system size compared to home occupancy
The condition of mechanical and plumbing equipment, alarms, etc., with testing and analysis of their performance

The entire system, including its current and potential future usage, needs inspection. Inspectors will review every aspect and recommend any necessary repairs, maintenance, or replacement parts.

A failing septic system can show various issues, from mild signs of aging to severe problems needing immediate attention. Identifying and addressing a problem early is possible. Regular inspection is a good way to catch potential issues before they become larger issues and very costly.

When to Schedule a Septic System Inspection

It’s better to have an annual inspection rather than waiting for something to go wrong. Some provinces require homeowners to have qualified technicians inspect their septic systems annually for insurance purposes. Homeowners can use these inspections to catch problems before they become major issues.

The lifespan of a septic drainfield depends on factors like soil, system type, and construction. Annual inspections can alert homeowners to soil issues, preventing expensive replacements due to the system aging out and extending the overall lifespan of the septic system.

If you notice something wrong with your septic system, it’s crucial to have it inspected. Annual inspections can uncover soil problems, and remedies may include soil remediation, jetting, and clearing clogged lines. Regular freezing of the system over winter might indicate an issue, such as plumbing problems or soil issues. If your septic system freezes, our technicians can assess the situation and recommend solutions to prevent future freeze-ups.

Always Schedule a Septic Inspection Before Buying a Home

Your new home may seem perfect however, a septic inspection can still uncover issues. Before buying a home with a septic system, it’s crucial to arrange an inspection. Home inspectors usually lack the qualifications to assess septic systems due to their complexity. With our septic industry expertise, our technicians can provide a thorough septic inspection.

When selling rural property, a septic inspection can speed up the sale process. We can inform you about your septic system before listing your property, allowing you to set an appropriate price and highlight its perfect working condition.

When purchasing rural property, you can rely on us to evaluate the system’s condition, helping you budget for repairs or replacements before they become a financial headache. Inspecting the septic system before buying can prevent unexpected large expenses and issues down the road!

The Price of a Septic System Inspection

Typically, septic system inspections range from $249 to $699, depending on how much information is required about your system and if you need detailed reports.

Some clients request a walk-and-talk inspection with our inspector, where they can hear recommendations, discuss findings, and learn about their system. This way, as a homeowner, you can take proactive steps without dealing with unnecessary paperwork.

You receive the inspection report after the inspection, and once you’re a client, we’re available to help with any and all your septic concerns.

What Happens After a Septic Inspection

After the inspection, you’ll want to review your system and its operation against current codes and standards, as well as the original system’s intended operation. If your system worked previously, we can typically restore it to its previous performance without suggesting a replacement.

Despite good intentions, not every septic inspection reveals a system in perfect working order. Some components may need repair or replacement. To ensure everything identified in the inspection is taken care of, you can directly schedule your maintenance appointment with Septic Medic.
