Do you dig up the septic tank?
Yes—when accessible, we dig up the septic tank so it can be opened and visually evaluated as part of the inspection.
Do you inspect the drain field too?
When possible, inspection ports are dug in the drain field so field conditions can be observed and documented.
What if parts of the system are inaccessible?
Any limitations are documented clearly in the report, along with what could and could not be evaluated.
Is a septic inspection worth adding?
Yes, especially on rural properties. Septic repairs can be costly, and a clearer understanding before closing is valuable.
