Why a Septic Inspection Matters When a Home Is Sold
A septic system is buried, so most of it can’t be checked during a walk-through. A dedicated septic inspection gives everyone at the closing table better information:
- Buyers learn what kind of system they are buying, where the tank is, and what condition it is in before they commit.
- Sellers can find out about issues early, instead of being surprised partway through the deal.
- Agents get a written report they can share with their clients and keep the transaction moving.
- Home inspectors have a septic professional to refer the part of the home they don’t cover.
What Our Real Estate Septic Inspection Includes
Every home-sale inspection is handled by our licensed and insured team, which brings over a decade of hands-on septic experience. Here is what you can expect:
- Locating the tank. We find the tank by probing and with a sonde.
- Camera inspection. We use a camera to look inside the system where it can’t be seen from the surface.
- All common system types. We inspect conventional, LPP (low-pressure pipe), drip and pump-tank systems.
- A written inspection report. You get a written report you can share with your agent and the other parties to the sale.
For more on how our inspections work outside of a sale, see our septic system inspections page.
Optional add-on: pump-out
A pump-out at the time of a home-sale inspection is a separate add-on. Dahl Septic Services and the State of North Carolina recommend it, but it is not required. If you’d like the tank pumped during the inspection, just let us know when you book. Learn more about our septic tank pumping service.
Turnaround: Reports Usually Ready Same or Next Day
We know closing dates don’t wait. Our written inspection reports are usually ready the same day or the next day after the inspection, so agents and buyers can review the results quickly.
