  • A grease trap or septic tank inspection gives you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your system will give you years of trouble-free use. Always have a professional inspect the septic system when you're purchasing a new home or lot.

    If you've lived in your house for years, but can't remember the last time you had your system cleaned or pumped out, a septic inspection may be in order. Also, any of the following sings may indicate a problem that should be diagnosed with a thorough inspection:

    • unpleasant odors in your home or yard
    • standing water above your septic tank
    • slow drainage of water in your sinks

What is a Septic Inspection?

A septic tank inspection from Mr. Rooter Plumbing will thoroughly assess the state of your septic system. Our technicians use a number of standard tests to check the strength of your septic tank and clean out line, distribution box and perforated lateral lines. Even a small problem with one of these components can lead to significant trouble down the road. We recommend a yearly checkup for residential septic systems or whenever trouble is suspected.

Septic System Inspections: Fast Facts for Homebuyers

Replacing a septic system can be a huge, unexpected expense for a new homebuyer. For this reason, it’s important to make a full septic checkup part of your pre-buying inspection. Some things to consider include:

  • The average cost of a septic system replacement in Syracuse could be up to $6,000 or more. If the septic system does need replacing, be sure to factor this in when making a bid on a home.
  • Septic systems need to be pumped every three to five years, in addition to other regular maintenance. Be sure to ask the seller if they have evidence this has been done.
  • A pre-purchase septic inspection should include dye testing, septic load testing and a visual inspection. Ask for a comprehensive assessment of the system’s condition as well as an estimate as to which components will need repair, and when.

In addition to the expense involved, septic problems are a serious health risk. Be sure you perform your due diligence before making a decision.
