- Is the inspector certified by the National Association of Wastewater Technicians (NAWT)?
Texas does not require any license or certification for real-estate septic inspections, but we recommend that your inspector hold an active certification, relevant training, and experience. - Does the inspector hold a valid Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) license to install the type of system he/she is inspecting?
Even if an inspector has an inspection certification, he/she may not be familiar with how a system should be constructed and the regulations it’s bound to. - Is the inspector knowledgeable about the type of system he/she is inspecting?
Does the inspector have different procedures for different types of systems? There are so many types of septic and aerobic systems; there is no one-size-fits-all system, nor should there be a one-size-fits-all inspection. - Is the inspector knowledgeable of local real-estate inspection requirements for each county and entity?
Each county may have specific regulations for real estate septic inspections. - What are the inspection procedures?
Since there are no regulations in Texas, there is a wide range of procedures that “inspectors” may offer. We recommended that inspections are performed according to NAWT standards.
All our inspectors are NAWT-certified! We also routinely provide continuing education for NAWT classes and for TEHA (Texas Environmental Health Association). All our inspectors are TCEQ-licensed installers and have a minimum of 10 years experience! Upon scheduling, we always ask questions to ensure the best inspection type is ordered for your specific situation.
