Buying a home on septic, selling one, or worried about your system? We locate and open the tank, check every part and explain what we found in plain language.
Available in: Norfolk & Winchester
Septic service is offered by our Norfolk and Winchester branches. In Wilmington, our team handles well water testing and treatment.
A septic system is out of sight. An inspection tells you what you're buying.
A septic inspection checks the tank, the baffles and filters, the operating level, any pumps, floats and alarms, the distribution box and the drain field. We locate and open the tank, including deep ones buried well below the lawn, and pump it if needed to see its condition.
Our Winchester team includes technicians with West Virginia wastewater and sewage system installer certifications, and inspects septic systems for home sales and when something seems wrong. You get plain-language findings and photos.
Septic and well work is done to code by licensed, trained technicians and backed by a 1-year warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on new pumps and equipment.

Timing, cost and what's checked.
Usually one to a few hours, depending on how easy the tank is to find and open, whether it's pumped and whether the system has pumps and controls to test.
Yes. A septic system is expensive to replace, and a general home inspection doesn't look inside the tank. An inspection tells you its condition before you close.
About every three years for most homes, and before you buy or sell. Call sooner if you notice slow drains, gurgling, odors or soggy spots in the yard.
