Understanding Septic System Inspections

What is a Septic Inspection? A comprehensive evaluation of all accessible components of a septic system (tank, drain field area, pumps, alarms) to determine its current condition and operational status.
What does PSMA Certified Mean? Inspections follow the rigorous standards set by the Pennsylvania Septage Management Association, ensuring a consistent, thorough, and unbiased evaluation recognized statewide.
Why Get an Inspection? Crucial for real estate transactions (identifying costly issues before purchase/sale), required for some permits, and valuable for current homeowners wanting to assess system health and plan maintenance.
What’s Typically Checked? Location and condition of the tank, sludge/scum levels, baffle integrity, pump and alarm function (if applicable), signs of drain field stress or failure (pooling water, odors, lush vegetation), and verification of components against records.
