How long does a septic inspection take?

Most inspections take a couple of hours, depending on how easy the tank and drain field are to access and how much documentation is needed.

Is a septic inspection required to sell a home?

Many buyers, lenders, or local requirements call for a septic inspection before a home sale closes. Check with your realtor or lender about what's required for your transaction.

What does a septic inspection check?

We check the tank's sludge and scum levels, the baffles and outlet pipe, and the condition of the drain field, then document what we find.

How often should I get a routine septic inspection?

Even without a home sale or permit, a periodic inspection helps catch problems early, especially if your system is getting older or you haven't had one done recently.

Do I need to do anything to prepare for the inspection?

It helps if the tank access lid is uncovered and reachable, but our technicians can locate and access the tank if you're not sure exactly where it is.

Can American Septic inspect rural or acreage properties?

Yes. We inspect septic systems on rural and acreage properties throughout the Treasure Valley, not just in-city addresses.
