It is beneficial to have your septic tank inspected, not only when buying or selling your home, but for preventive maintenance purposes. We recommend obtaining a documented report by having your tank inspected every ten years to the standards of National Association of Wastewater Transporters (NAWT).
The purpose of this report is to provide the best possible assessment of the septic system and how it appears to be functioning at that time. We evaluate both the septic tank and the absorption area. Alpha Omega Septic Service offers a detailed report with over 35 points of inspection based on the size of the home. We provide tank location for future reference, site specific observations and repair information needed to meet codes, identify functioning-related issues, and offer tips for future care for buyers that are new to septic systems.
