Septic Inspections

Buying or Selling a Home with A Septic System

There are two main types of Septic Inspections for septic systems:


Visual or full inspections. We do not recommend visual inspections from a home inspector. Visual inspections are risky because of what they can't see! DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! Full septic system inspections by Lentz Septic Tank Service give you peace of mind in Statesville, NC, and surrounding areas. We use a 45 Point Checklist to inspect the septic tank, pump tank (if present), and dispersal field and give a detailed report to the realtor or loan company requesting the order for a home buyer (or seller). Call us to learn more.

Having Your Septic System Inspected Regularly Protects Your Investment in Your Home & Your Family

Most people understand that a septic tank needs to be pumped on a regular basis, but the EPA says it should be inspected as well on a regular basis. Suppose you only pump your tank every 3-5 years (or less often). In that case, you should consider adding the inspection at the same time to protect your investment in your home & property as well as the health of your family.

If you're buying a home with a septic tank, please have your realtor contact us. If you sell a house with a septic tank, you can show your potential buyers that you have cared for your home and want them to be happy in their new home by already having this service done!


*You can skip buying or selling to get an inspection! The EPA recommends that homeowners get an inspection regularly to lower the occurrence of damage and high repairs.

Lentz Septic Tank Service Inspections Tips

Homeowners

Maintenance & Record Keeping

Homeowners should schedule regular maintenance services for their septic tanks and drain fields. Keep good records of maintenance and any repairs made, including date, issue, company doing the service, and what was done. These records will help if you sell your home to prospective buyers.

Home Buyers

Request Maintenance Records

All home buyers should ask for a record of how often the septic system was serviced during the time the current homeowner has lived there. If there has been no maintenance in the past 3+ years, this is a signal it will need service or possible repair in the near future. A neglected system can cost you thousands of dollars!

Maintenance Reminders

Always Be Prepared

A septic tank riser installed on your septic tank can be a gentle reminder to maintain your system regularly. Creative camouflages are available, or use it to showcase a potted plant!

Working with a company that treats you like a friend and sends out a reminder every three years can reduce the headache or stress of worrying about your septic system. Lentz Septic wants to help you keep your system purring - to help keep you from the need to spend thousands of dollars in repair from putting off regular maintenance.
