Septic System Inspection
A septic system inspection gives you a professional look at your system's condition — often needed for a real estate transaction, but useful anytime you want peace of mind about your system.
What's included
- A visual and functional assessment of your septic system's condition
- Documentation of findings you can share with other parties to a transaction, if relevant
- Guidance on next steps if issues are found

Findings & documentation
You receive a summary of what was found, which you can share with other parties to your transaction as needed.
What affects pricing
We don't publish fixed prices — your matched provider gives you a direct estimate based on your system. Factors that typically affect cost include:
- • Property and system size and accessibility
- • Whether pumping is needed as part of the inspection
- • Turnaround time needed, such as a transaction deadline
- • Distance to the property
Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between pumping and inspection?
- Pumping removes accumulated solids from the tank. An inspection is a closer evaluation of the system's condition. See our septic tank pumping page for details on pumping.
- Does this inspection meet my lender's or title company's requirements?
- Requirements for a septic inspection at sale vary by lender, title company, and county, and change over time. This inspection reflects your provider's professional assessment of the system's condition — confirming whether it satisfies your specific transaction's requirements is between you, your lender or title company, and the relevant county health department.
