Septic Inspection in Avon

Septic inspection for homes on a private septic system (SSTS). We camera-scope the sewer line from the house toward the tank, looking for roots, sags, cracks and separated joints, and we coordinate the licensed SSTS compliance inspection through our licensed partner, so it is one booking and one schedule for you. Many Minnesota counties require a compliance inspection when a home with a septic system is sold.

Avon is a small I-94 lake town of older homes and lakeshore properties. Housing here runs to older town homes and lakeshore properties, across the town core and the Avon-area lakes.

Septic systems in Stearns County

Stearns County's SSTS Ordinance #422 requires, when ownership of land with a dwelling transfers, a compliance inspection and Certificate of Compliance, unless one was issued within the previous 3 years for a system older than 5 years, or an original certificate is on file for a system under 5 years old. The seller must also disclose the system in writing. We camera-scope the sewer line and coordinate the licensed inspector in one booking.

Questions

Common questions.

What does your septic inspection include?
Two parts. We run a camera through the building sewer from inside the house toward the tank and record its condition: roots, cracks, sags, separated joints and blockages. We also coordinate the licensed SSTS compliance inspection of the tank and soil treatment area, so the whole septic picture is booked and scheduled together.
Is a septic inspection required when a house sells in Minnesota?
It depends on the county. Many Minnesota counties require a compliance inspection at the time of sale; others require one only in shoreland areas or leave it to the lender. Ask the county's environmental services office early, because a failing system can change the terms of a sale.
Can I book the septic inspection with the home inspection?
Yes. Book it as an add-on and we schedule the line scope and the compliance inspection around your home inspection, so the results land inside your inspection window.
What are signs of septic trouble?
Slow drains throughout the house, gurgling, sewage odors indoors or in the yard, wet or unusually green spots over the drainfield, and backups in the lowest fixtures. Any of these calls for a scope and a full evaluation before closing.
When can a Stearns County seller skip a new septic inspection?
The county ordinance allows skipping when a Certificate of Compliance was issued within the previous 3 years for a system older than 5 years, or an original certificate is on file for a system under 5. Sales with no plumbed buildings or on municipal sewer are also exempt. We scope the sewer line and coordinate the inspector.
Do you inspect Avon lake homes?
Yes — lakeshore properties here include converted seasonal cabins where heating, insulation and foundations built without full frost depth need a close read.
