## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I need a septic inspection when buying a home?

While not always legally required, it's highly recommended. A septic inspection can reveal costly problems before you buy. Many lenders require inspections for rural properties.

### How often should I have my septic system inspected?

Annual visual inspections are recommended. A full inspection with pumping should be done every 3-5 years, coinciding with your pump-out schedule.

### What happens if the inspection finds problems?

The inspector will document issues and recommend next steps. For real estate transactions, this becomes a negotiation point between buyer and seller.

### How long does a septic inspection take?

Visual inspections take 30-60 minutes. Standard inspections with pumping take 1-2 hours. Full system inspections may take 2-3 hours.

### Should the tank be pumped before inspection?

For the most thorough inspection, the tank should be pumped during the inspection so the inspector can view internal components. Many inspectors include pumping in their service.
