Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about septic inspections.
Do I need a septic inspection when buying a home?
Yes, septic inspections are highly recommended and often required by lenders. A failed system can cost tens of thousands to replace, so knowing the condition before purchase protects your investment. We provide detailed reports that help you make informed decisions.
What does a septic inspection include?
We inspect tank condition, measure sludge and scum levels, check inlet and outlet baffles, evaluate drain field function, test system operation, check for leaks, and assess compliance with Alberta regulations. Our reports include photos and detailed findings.
How long does a septic inspection take?
Most inspections take 1-2 hours depending on system size and accessibility. We need to locate and access the tank, evaluate the drain field, and test system operation. We'll provide a timeline when you schedule.
What happens if the inspection finds problems?
We document all issues in detail and provide repair recommendations with cost estimates. For real estate transactions, this information helps buyers and sellers negotiate repairs or price adjustments before closing.
Can you inspect systems that haven't been maintained?
Yes, we can inspect systems regardless of maintenance history. However, systems that haven't been pumped recently may require pumping before we can fully evaluate tank condition. We'll advise you during scheduling.
