Why the General Home Inspection Isn't Enough
Standard home inspections in Indiana usually stop at "flushed the toilets, drains worked." That tells you nothing about a tank that hasn't been pumped in fifteen years or a drain field one wet spring from failing. A failed system is a $5,000–$15,000+ surprise — the single most expensive thing a rural homebuyer can miss.
What Our Septic Inspection Covers
- Tank located, opened, and sludge/scum levels measured
- Baffles, tees, lids, and tank structure checked
- Drain field walked and probed for saturation or surfacing
- Hydraulic load test — running water to see how the system actually handles it
- Pumps, floats, and alarms tested (where fitted)
- Written report with photos, delivered fast enough for your inspection window
If the tank needs pumping to inspect it properly, we can pump it the same visit — one trip charge, not two.
For Sellers and Agents Too
A pre-listing septic inspection kills the scariest unknown in a rural sale before a buyer's inspector finds it on their terms. Agents around Evansville, Newburgh, and Boonville: we work to your option-period clock and answer our phone — put us in your contacts.
