Frequently asked questions
How long does a septic inspection take?+
Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes on site. Aerobic systems with multiple components can take 2 hours.
Do I need to be home?+
No — but we'll need access to the tank lids and (for aerobic) the control panel. We can coordinate directly with your realtor.
Is pumping required during an inspection?+
Not always. If sludge levels are high or we can't see the baffles, we'll recommend pumping during the visit and discount the combined service.
