Types of inspections
The right inspection for every situation.
Whether you're buying a property, selling, meeting insurance requirements, or simply checking the health of your system — we have an inspection to fit.
Most requested
Pre-Purchase Real Estate Inspection
Buying an acreage or rural property? A septic inspection is essential before closing. We assess the full system, identify any deficiencies, and give you a clear picture of what you're buying.
Preventive
Annual System Evaluation
An annual inspection catches problems before they become failures. We check the tank, pump, alarm, floats, and distribution system — and track your system's health over time.
Compliance
Insurance & Regulatory Inspection
Some insurers and municipalities require a current septic inspection. We provide the documentation you need, from condition assessments to formal inspection reports.
Every inspection includes
A thorough assessment, not a quick glance.
Our inspections go beyond looking in the tank. We test, measure, and document every component of your private sewage system.
Tank condition & capacity assessment
Visual inspection of tank walls, inlet/outlet baffles, lid condition, and structural integrity.
Sludge & scum level measurement
We measure accumulated sludge and scum to assess whether pumping is required and estimate time to next service.
Effluent pump & float testing
Live test of the effluent pump cycle, float switch operation, and pump run time.
High-water alarm test
Verify the alarm panel activates correctly and the audible/visual signals are functioning.
Effluent filter inspection
Inspect and clean the effluent filter to ensure solids are not reaching the drainfield or pump chamber.
Written inspection report
A detailed report of findings, system condition rating, deficiencies noted, and recommended actions — delivered after every inspection.
Quick Service

01
Schedule your inspection
Book online or call us. Let us know the property address, system type if known, and your timeline.
02
We confirm & prepare
We'll confirm your appointment and let you know what access we need — tank lid location, electrical panel access, etc.
03
On-site inspection
Our licensed inspector arrives and performs a thorough assessment — tank, pump, alarm, floats, filter, and distribution. Typically 1–2 hours.
04
You receive your report
A detailed written report is delivered with findings, condition rating, photos, and any recommended actions. Fast turnaround for real estate transactions.
Seeing any of these signs?
Don't wait for a backup. Call us now and we'll schedule a pump-out — often same day.
Buying or selling a property?
Don't close without a septic inspection.
A failing septic system can cost $15,000–$50,000+ to repair or replace. A pre-purchase inspection is one of the most important things a buyer of a rural or acreage property can do. Sellers benefit too — a clean inspection report is a strong selling point that removes buyer uncertainty and speeds up transactions.

Our professional services
Everything septic, under one roof.
Emergency Septic Tank Pump-Out
We dispatch our 3,000-gallon Kenworth vacuum truck to pump your tank immediately, relieving pressure on your system before backup or overflow occurs.
Effluent Pump Repair & Replacement
Our technicians diagnose pump failures on site. If the pump needs replacing, we carry common pump models and can often complete the installation same visit.
High-Water Alarm Response
We respond to high-level alarms — investigating the cause, silencing the alarm, and getting your system back within normal operating range.
Float Switch & Control Panel Issues
Faulty floats and control panels are a common cause of pump failures. We troubleshoot and replace failed electrical components to restore normal operation.
Sewage Backup & Overflow Response
When sewage is backing up into the home or onto the property, we pump out the system and assess the cause to prevent it from happening again.
Septic System Troubleshooting
Not sure what's wrong? We inspect the full system — tank, pump, alarm, floats, and distribution — to identify the problem and give you a clear diagnosis and options.
