We can inspect your septic system before selling your home.
Real estate sale septic inspections are a type of inspection performed on the septic system of a property that is being bought or sold. This type of inspection is critical for properties that rely on a septic system for wastewater treatment, especially in rural or suburban areas where municipal sewage systems are not available.
At Southern Water and Soil, we conduct real estate sale septic inspections throughout the Dade City, Florida area. When we perform these inspections, there are a few things we check:
- We will check the septic tank to ensure it is functioning properly, is not leaking, and has enough capacity for the size of the household. We will also evaluate the tank for signs of corrosion or damage.
- We will inspect the drain field for signs of failure, such as wet spots, foul odors, and other signs that wastewater is not being properly filtered and dispersed into the soil.
- We will check the pipes leading from the house to the septic system, looking for leaks and blockages.
At the conclusion of our real estate sale septic inspections, we provide a report detailing the condition of the system, including any recommended repairs or replacements. If the system is found to be in poor condition, or it fails the inspection, this can be used during the negotiation process.
If you are selling or buying property, having a septic system inspection performed is essential. For more information about our inspections or to schedule an inspection time, contact us today.
