What Gets Checked During a Septic Inspection

Your inspection in Le Roy includes locating the septic tank and drain field, uncovering the tank lid to check liquid levels and sludge depth, inspecting baffles and outlet pipes for damage, and walking the drain field area to look for wet spots, odors, or vegetation that indicates system failure. If the property has an older system, the inspection also checks whether the installation meets current setback and placement standards.

After the inspection, you receive a clear explanation of the system condition, any deficiencies that affect performance or compliance, and recommendations for repairs or replacement if needed. You will know whether the system is functioning properly or whether corrective work is required before closing on the property.

Design services include site evaluation, soil testing, and preparation of a system layout tailored to your property. The design is submitted as part of the county permitting process and provides the blueprint for installation. Scheduling is available for time-sensitive inspections tied to real estate transactions.

Answers to Questions About Inspections and Design

Property buyers, sellers, and builders often have questions about what septic inspections include, how design services work, and what happens if a system does not pass inspection.

What does a septic inspection tell me about the system?
You learn whether the tank is intact and functioning, whether the drain field is accepting wastewater without surfacing, and whether the system meets current setback and placement requirements. The inspection identifies problems that need repair or replacement.
How long does a septic inspection take?
Most inspections in Le Roy take one to two hours, depending on system accessibility and whether the tank needs to be located. You receive findings and recommendations the same day.
What happens if the septic system fails inspection during a property sale?
You will need to negotiate repairs or replacement with the seller, or adjust the purchase price to account for the cost of bringing the system into compliance. Advanced Septic and Excavating LLC can provide repair or installation estimates.
What is included in septic system design services?
You receive a site evaluation, soil testing, system layout based on your property conditions, and preparation of documents needed for county permit application. The design specifies tank size, drain field dimensions, and placement to meet regulatory standards.
When should I have a septic system designed?
You should start the design process before applying for a building permit if you are constructing a new home or replacing a failed system. This allows time for soil testing, county review, and permit approval before excavation begins.
