Septic Inspection

An on-lot wastewater treatment system, or "septic system", may be the most expensive single component of your new home.  Therefore, it is important that you know its condition before you buy.

A Septic Inspection provides you with information about the septic system components and current operating conditions.  Inspection results are based on the experience and expertise of a knowledgeable inspector, information provided by the current owner of the property and observable conditions at the time of the inspection.  Each inspection results in a septic system report that states:

• the type and condition of the system and its components,
• unsatisfactory conditions in the system and any need for additional testing,
• list of corrective measures or next steps, if any are needed.

Allied Inspection Services, Inc. is a member of the Pennsylvania Septage Management Association (PSMA).  All of our septic inspections are performed in strict conformance to the PSMA's Inspection Standards by PSMA-certified inspectors.  These Standards have been described by Commonwealth Court as the "Industry Standard" for on-lot system inspection.

A Septic Inspection provides you with valuable information about the present condition of the system, however it is not a warranty or guarantee that the system will function properly for any period of time in the future.
