Inspection FAQ
Many lenders require a septic inspection as a condition of loan approval, especially for older homes. Even if not required, a inspection is highly recommended for buyers to understand what they're purchasing. Some states and municipalities also require inspection at time of sale.
Our detailed report will identify any issues found, from minor maintenance needs to significant repairs. For buyers, this information can be used to negotiate repairs or price adjustments with the seller. We'll provide clear explanations and estimates for any recommended work.
Ensure we have clear access to the tank lid and drain field area. If you have records of past septic work or pumping history, having those available is helpful but not required. We'll need access inside the home to run water and check drains.
