Sandy Septic Inspections
Our DEQ certified team can provide a comprehensive eight page inspection report for your entire Septic System. These reports are most commonly used in real estate transactions!
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality strongly advises seeking a professional evaluation for your septic system when entering into the purchase or sale of a home.
Key Points for Consideration:
Opting for a septic system evaluation is discretionary, but if pursued, it must adhere to the approved form. These evaluations, commonly conducted during real estate transactions, are pertinent to agents, homebuyers, and home sellers. Utilizing an eight-page DEQ Inspection report, the evaluation meticulously outlines both the tank's condition and functionality. To ensure a thorough inspection and accurate completion of the report, pumping is typically performed at the time of service.
Qualified Service Providers:
As stipulated by the DEQ, evaluators must fall into specific categories, including an installer, maintenance provider, wastewater specialist, environmental health specialist, or a National Association of Wastewater Technicians (NAWT) certified inspector with experience in inspecting existing septic systems.
Furthermore, a professional septic system evaluation plays a pivotal role in guaranteeing the integrity and functionality of the system, offering invaluable insights for both buyers and sellers throughout the real estate transaction.
Advantages of a Professional Septic System Evaluation:
- Prevent Unforeseen Issues:Early identification and resolution of potential problems prevent unexpected complications during the home buying or selling process.
- Informed Decision-Making:The detailed DEQ Inspection report empowers all parties involved to make well-informed decisions about the property by providing comprehensive information on the septic tank's condition and functionality.
- Compliance with Regulations:Adhering to the DEQ's recommendation ensures compliance with environmental standards and regulations, promoting responsible and sustainable homeownership practices.
- Enhanced Property Value:A positive evaluation outcome enhances the perceived value of the property, benefiting both sellers and buyers.
In summary, a professional septic system evaluation transcends mere formality; it represents a strategic investment in the long-term efficiency of the septic system and contributes to a transparent and seamless real estate transaction.
