Your report

In your hands within 48 hours.

You receive your report within 48 hours of the inspection. We can print you a copy and/or email it to one person or several — buyer, seller and agent alike.

Because a licensed installer writes it, you can ask about longevity, maintenance and repairs on the spot, and trust the answers come from someone who's worked in this industry for almost 20 years.

Inspection questions

Before you book.

Do I need a real estate septic inspection?
Whether you’re buying or selling a home, knowing if the septic system is working properly is critical. Because it works underground, the best way to find out is a full inspection by a licensed installer. Ours includes a camera inspection of the piping, a 150-gallon flow test and a 3–5 page photo report you get within 48 hours. Book a real estate inspection
How do I know if there's a problem?
Abnormal odors inside or outside the home, indoor plumbing backups, and gurgling drains, are often signs of an issue. Wet areas on the exterior of the home adjacent to the leaching field, or septic tank are common warning signs. Problems with septic systems don’t always produce warning signs a homeowner will notice right away. If you’re unsure of the condition of your septic system, having an inspection done can answer many of those questions.
What is a cesspool?
A cesspool is an old, primitive wastewater structure. Cesspools act as a tank, and leaching field in one. Cesspools are no longer allowed to be installed as new septic systems. Occasionally we still come across cesspools, usually on older homes.
