Septic inspection pricing
A septic tank inspection costs $100. This service can be scheduled on its own or added to a full home inspection.
Why septic inspections matter (in North Carolina)
Nearly 50% of homes in NC use septic systems, and they rely on the soil beneath the drainfield to finish treatment—not just the tank.
A good rule of thumb is inspect every 1–3 years. Pumping isn’t on a fixed schedule—it depends on tank size, household size, and use.
If your tank has an effluent filter, plan to have it checked/cleaned about every 2–3 years.
Skipping maintenance lets solids reach the drainfield and form a thick biomat that can clog the soil, leading to backups and system failure.
What we check
Our inspections look at the full septic system, not just the tank. Depending on the property, this may include:
Locating and accessing the tank
Testing the system under normal household use
Checking tank and drain field condition for leaks, cracks, or blockages
Evaluating overall system performance
Providing a clear, same-day report with next steps
