When you’re selling or buying a home a certified septic inspection is one of the most important steps you can make in the process. The inspection will let you know if the septic system is in a condition as designed and operates at an acceptable level under the guidelines set forth in the industry standards.
At AAA Septic and Drain we have 2 NAWT Certified Inspectors. We conduct inspections almost on a daily basis and have a strong working relationship with local realtors and environmental health departments in the Western Slope counties we service.
When it comes to your home, the septic system is the highest costing and “need it fixed or replaced now” component that you have. Installing a new conventional septic system ranges from $13,000 to $30,000. We maintain some systems that have a price tag of $130,000! If your selling your home it’s a must for protection in the future that you sold a home where the septic system was in proper condition and operation when you sold it. If you’re buying a home you want to know you are moving into a home where the septic system works for your family’s needs. Here is a good article about inspections.
AAA Septic and Drain provides each customer with a multiple page detailed report as well as photos and video.
And remember that the home inspection you have done when buying a home is NOT also a septic inspection.
