Quick Tips for Choosing a Septic Inspector

Posted on


Are you buying a house and need an inspector to examine the existing septic system? Remember, septic inspections are the same. The planning and installation of a new septic system is an expensive investment, so the inspection is not something you want to skimp on. Make sure to keep the following questions top-of-mind before hiring a septic inspector. These tips will help ensure you choose the right company for the job.

  • Is the inspector certified by the National Association of Wastewater Transporters (NAWT)?
  • Does the inspector hold a valid Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) license to install the type of system they are inspecting?
  • Is the inspector knowledgeable about the type of system they are inspecting?
  • Is the inspector knowledgeable about local real estate inspection requirements for each county and entity?
  • What are the inspection procedures?
  • Does the inspector have different procedures for different types of systems?
  • How does the inspector locate the tank?
  • Does the inspector look inside the tank or pump the tank during the inspection?
  • Does the inspector obtain the records on the system prior to the inspection and provide the records with the report?
  • Will the inspection report be acceptable by your mortgage company?
  • How long has the inspector been in business?
  • What experience does the inspector have with the type of system?
  • If repairs are recommended, is the inspector knowledgeable about repair requirements in each local area?
  • Can the inspector provide an estimate if repairs are recommended?
