Buying or selling a home with a septic system? A thorough inspection protects both sides of the transaction. P&C Septic Solutions provides septic inspections for real-estate transactions and routine system checkups throughout our service area, with a clear written report you can share with a buyer, seller, or lender.

- Tank condition: cracks, baffle integrity, liquid level, and sludge/scum layer depth
- Inlet and outlet flow and any signs of backup
- Drain field condition, including surface signs of failure such as wet spots or unusual vegetation
- Distribution box function where accessible
- Pump and control panel function, for pump-assisted or lift-station systems
Real-Estate Transaction Inspections
A septic inspection during a home sale protects buyers from inheriting a failing system and gives sellers documentation that the system is functioning at the time of sale. We provide a written report suitable for sharing with a lender, agent, or attorney, and we'll explain the findings in plain language, not just a checklist.
Routine Checkups
You don't need to be buying or selling a home to benefit from an inspection. If your system is aging, you're planning renovations that add plumbing fixtures, or you simply haven't had it checked in years, a routine inspection can catch a small problem before it becomes an expensive one.
Often Paired with Pumping
Many customers schedule an inspection at the same time as a pump-out, since the tank is already open. Ask about combining the two when you schedule.
