Septic Inspections
When buying a home or maintaining a property with a septic system, a septic inspection should be at the top of your priority list. At Wright Choice Property Inspection, we specialize in septic system inspections that help protect your home, your wallet, and your peace of mind.
What Is a Septic Inspection?
A septic inspection is a detailed evaluation of a property’s wastewater treatment system. This service is especially critical for homes not connected to a municipal sewer line. A typical home inspection doesn’t cover septic systems—so if you’re buying a house with a septic tank, you need a dedicated septic system inspection to uncover any hidden issues before they become costly surprises.
Why You Should Never Skip a Septic System Inspection
Neglecting a septic tank inspection can lead to major headaches. Undetected problems may result in sewage backups, contaminated groundwater, and expensive repairs—sometimes totaling thousands of dollars. Here’s why septic inspections for homebuyers and current homeowners are essential:
- Preventative maintenance: Catch minor issues before they become major failures.
- Homebuyer confidence: Know the true condition of the property you’re purchasing.
- Property value protection: A healthy septic system adds value and avoids buyer hesitation.
- Health and safety: Prevent exposure to harmful bacteria and contamination.
- Regulatory compliance: Some mortgage lenders and counties require a septic tank inspection before closing.
What Happens During a Wright Choice Septic Inspection?
When you book a septic inspection with Wright Choice Property Inspection, here’s what our certified professional home inspectors evaluate:
- Septic tank location and accessibility
- Tank structure integrity
- Sludge and scum levels
- Drain field conditions and signs of saturation or failure
- Flow testing to ensure wastewater moves properly through the system
- Camera scope inspection of the line leading to the tank
You’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand digital report outlining the health of your system and any recommended repairs or maintenance steps.
Beyond the Basics: Wright Choice Offers a Deeper Septic Inspection
Most home inspectors only perform a basic dye test when evaluating a septic system. While that may reveal signs of surface-level failure, it doesn’t provide the full picture. At Wright Choice Property Inspection, we go further.
Our septic inspections include a limited inspection with sewer scope technology, allowing us to visually inspect the interior of the sewer line and septic components. This advanced approach gives you unmatched insight into the condition of the system—something a dye test simply can’t do.
Here’s how we set ourselves apart:
- Sewer scope camera inspection included at no extra charge
- Invasive inspection measuring scum and sludge levels of the tank
- Visual confirmation of cracks, clogs, tree root intrusion, or structural damage
- More accurate diagnosis = better decision-making during a home purchase or sale
When it comes to something as critical as your septic system, a surface-level inspection isn’t enough. Choose the Wright Choice septic inspection for complete peace of mind.
How Often Should You Get a Septic Tank Inspection?
Experts recommend a professional septic system inspection every 3 to 5 years. If you’re selling a home or buying one with a septic system, it’s smart—and often required—to schedule a pre-sale septic inspection.
