The Importance Of Septic Tank Inspections When Buying Or Selling Your Miami Home

Before you buy or sell a property with a septic tank system, be sure to add septic tank inspections to your to-do list. A qualified septic tank inspector can assess the condition of your Miami property’s septic system, identify potential issues, and make needed repairs or recommendations for septic tank replacement.

In this ever-changing maret, having recent maintenance records and a septic tank inspection on hand can give a potential buyer confidence in purchasing your property, or it can give you the peace of mind you’re looking for if you’re the party making the purchase

The Requirements For Septic Tank Inspections In Florida

Florida law doesn’t require septic tank inspections prior to property purchases, but there are instances when you’ll need to have a septic tank inspection performed. When a new septic system is installed, when an older system is repaired, or when a property changes in some way that affects your septic tank, it will be necessary to call in a septic tank inspector. Even though it’s not required, it is always a good idea to discuss real estate inspections for your septic system with your realtor.

What To Expect From Your Inspection

Septic tank inspections are recommended by industry professionals to ensure that your system is functioning the way it should – and to avoid unpleasant surprises when you’re purchasing or selling a home. Your septic tank inspection specialist will have a checklist of items to evaluate during your inspection, including:

  • Visual drainfield inspection
  • Water pressure and drain field distribution inspections
  • Identifying leaks, breaches, and problem areas
  • Checking water levels
  • Measuring scum and sludge layers
  • Inspecting baffles to identify evidence of prior overflows
  • Evaluate distribution box for structural integrity
  • Locating damaged outlets, flow restrictions, and issues with uneven distribution
  • Making recommendations for septic pumping, repairs, or replacement
