Inspection checklist builder.

Five questions about your home and system → a checklist built for your situation. Read it here, print it, or have it emailed — your call.

Numbered callouts on the septic system cross-section marking the access lids, inlet tee, effluent filter, distribution box, scum depth, sludge depth and drainfield surface.
What an inspection checks, keyed to the system.

Five questions

Why the inspection?
What kind of system?
Where is the property?
Can you see the tank lids?
When was it last pumped?

Why these items

Every dollar figure and rule on the checklist is one already published and sourced in our cost guides — the checklist never introduces a number the guides can’t back. Provider-checking steps follow how we verify.
