If you are buying a home with a septic system, you need to know what you are buying. A septic certification letter is a written statement of the condition of the system at the time it was inspected.
What a certification letter tells you
- Whether the system was functioning properly or needed service at the time of inspection
- Any issues that may need to be resolved before closing
- A record of the system's condition that you can keep
- A heads-up on future work so you can plan for it
Why get an inspection
Experts suggest an inspection every three to five years, but many homeowners wait much longer and discover problems only when something fails. Whether you are buying, selling, or just want peace of mind, an inspection gives you the facts.
Camera inspection
We use a camera to look inside lines and the outlet pipe so we are not guessing. A camera inspection is currently free with septic pumping.
How a One Way Septic Visit Works
- You call. A real person answers, asks a few questions about what you are seeing, and gives you the basic price over the phone when it applies.
- We call ahead. About an hour before we arrive, so you can plan your day around the visit.
- We diagnose before we sell. We look at the system, explain what we found in plain language, and lay out your options.
- You decide. If you only need the basics, that is all you pay for. If more work is needed, we explain why.
