Septic Inspection in Buckman

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.

Buckman is a small Highway 25 farm town in southeast Morrison County on Buckman Creek. Housing here runs to older farm-town houses, some postwar homes and some newer ones, many of them on private wells and septic, across the compact townsite along Highway 25 and the farm sites of Buckman Township around it.

Septic systems in Morrison County

Morrison County says a current Certificate of Compliance or a Certificate of Installation for a septic system is required upon transfer of property. A certificate of installation lasts five years and a compliance inspection is valid for three. A non-compliant system gets a limited window to be brought into compliance. We camera-scope the sewer line from the house and coordinate the licensed SSTS compliance inspection, so it is 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.
Do I need a septic certificate to buy in Morrison County?
The county says a current Certificate of Compliance or Certificate of Installation is required upon transfer of property. Installation certificates last five years and compliance inspections three. We scope the sewer line and coordinate the licensed inspection so it is one booking. The scope report adds a direct camera view of the pipe run itself.
Does Buckman Creek matter for a house in Buckman?
A little, and it is worth a look. Buckman Creek runs through the northern part of town and drains toward the Platte River, so low lots near the creek can hold water after spring melt or a heavy rain. Grading, window wells, the sump pit and basement walls are worth checking for staining and efflorescence. Morrison County sits in Minnesota Frost Zone I, where footings go 5 feet deep, so it is also worth asking how older additions and porches were founded. Morrison County is EPA Radon Zone 2, and a 48-hour test is still worthwhile.
