Septic Inspections & Evaluations
Basic inspections with a pump-out, full state septic evaluations, and advanced-system inspections we're certified to perform — with honest reporting so you can buy, sell, or maintain with confidence.
A septic inspection protects you from inheriting a five-figure problem. Whether you're closing on a property or checking a system you already own, you want a straight answer — not a sales pitch.
There are two different things people mean by "septic inspection." A basic inspection with a pump-out is the common, affordable one most buyers and sellers ask for. A state septic evaluation report is a formal, state-recorded document — a bigger job and a considerably bigger cost. We do both, and we'll tell you which one your situation actually calls for.
We're also a SepticSmart certified inspector, registered with the state. And if you have an advanced system, the inspector has to hold a maintenance provider certification to inspect it at all — we carry that too (M765), so we can handle advanced systems that many inspectors legally can't touch.

Common questions.
Not necessarily — it's more common practice than hard requirement. Most sales involve a basic inspection with a pump-out, which buyers and lenders typically want to see. That's different from a state septic evaluation report, which is a state-recorded document and costs considerably more. We'll tell you which one your sale actually needs.
Most residential inspections take 1–2 hours on site; you get the findings the same day.
No. To inspect an advanced (ATT or aerobic) system, the inspector must hold a maintenance provider certification — a lot of inspectors don't, and legally can't perform that inspection. We carry it (M765), and we're a SepticSmart certified inspector registered with the state.
