You should get an in-depth septic inspection once every two to five years. Fortunately, that’s how often septic tanks need to be pumped, anyway, which means you can get both done at the same time.
A well-maintained and regularly pumped septic system can last as long as 20 to 30 years. Although they may seem daunting, regular septic inspections are the key to keeping your system in proper, working order for as long as possible. Your pro will do everything they can to ensure a pain-free inspection process that doesn't interfere with your daily activities too much.
How Much Does a Septic Inspection Cost?
Full septic tank inspections cost $550 on average, so add this regular expense to your budget. Although it may seem pricey, it’s an investment that can help you avoid repairs, which can be far more damaging to your budget. The average cost to repair a septic tank is over $1,800.
Visual septic inspections may be done as part of the overall home inspection process during the purchase or sale of a home, and the cost should be built into the overall inspection quote.
