Septic System Inspections in Vernon, NJ
As with many things – license plates, weather, use of profanity, etc. – there is a lot of variation from state to state. Septic requirements are no different.
That’s why at EarthCare, A Wind River Company, we have a team of permitted system inspectors across our entire service area, all of whom have been trained and certified by the Pennsylvania Septage Management Association (PSMA) and who perform all septic system Inspections in accordance with PSMA guidelines. EarthCare, A Wind River Company is also Norweco Septic System Install certified as well as Hoot Septic System Install certified (note: this has nothing to do with owls).
Like we said, we know what we’re doing. We will get the job done quickly and properly. We will also provide you with a written report for your inspection (as required by most real estate transactions).
When Do You Need a Septic Inspection?
Good question. Septic system certification is necessary when you purchase real estate or refinance a current property. You may want one as well just for the peace of mind of knowing that everything is working as it should.
Also, if you’re thinking of placing your home on the market, make sure to have the system inspected early in the process. Required repairs could cause delays during the closing (and even impact the sale of the property), so get this done early.
What Does a Septic Inspection Consist Of?
As a first step, we closely follow the criteria defined by PSMA standards and will evaluate the components that are accessible at the time of the inspection. Those items include:
- Location of tank(s) and drainage areas
- Size and condition of the system
- Age of the system
- Number of occupants living in the home
- Whether or not the home is currently occupied
- How the system has been maintained to date
- Review of pumping/maintenance records (if available)
- Prior repair history
- Number of systems on site
