We have the tools to locate and inspect the septic system at your new home and will provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions concerning the purchase, operation and maintenance of a home with an onlot septic system.

Township or municipal pumping

Many municipalities require septic tanks to be pumped out every 3 years. The municipalities also require a brief form to be filled out and questions answered regarding the septic system. Although it is sometimes called an inspection, this is only a brief visual evaluation that does not address how the septic system is actually working. A PSMA/NOF inspection is much more in depth and involves probing the system to determine how well the system is working. Data gathered about the system is then compared to the PSMA standards for a properly working septic system and a determination given as to the system being satisfactory or unsatisfactory.

Cesspools and Seepage Pits
Cesspools and seepage pits, although outdated, can still be viable for use in Pennsylvania. A 
hydraulic load test can determine if the cesspool or seepage pit can receive and distribute to the soil the daily flow of effluent expected to be generated by the home. Older septic systems can also be viable for continued use.

Maintenance is the key
Good septic system maintenance is the key to longevity of a septic system. We provide you with recommendations on regular pumping and maintaining your septic system.

PSMA/NOF
We are members of the Pennsylvania Septage Management Association and National Onsite Foundations. All inspections are performed to the PSMA/NOF Standards.
