Septic Inspection in Butterfield

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.

Butterfield is a small Cottonwood County farm town of older housing. Housing here runs to older farm-town housing, across the town core.

Septic systems in Cottonwood County

Cottonwood County's Property Transfer Septic System Disclosure/Agreement Form has the seller certify one of several situations, including a system updated within five years with a Certificate of Compliance from the Cottonwood SWCD, or a licensed inspector's Certificate of Compliance issued within three years. Some transfers, such as land without buildings, are exempt. 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.
What does the Cottonwood County transfer form ask for?
The form asks the seller to check one situation: a system updated within five years with a Certificate of Compliance from the SWCD, a licensed inspector's certificate within three years, or an exempt case such as land with no buildings. We coordinate the licensed inspection and scope the sewer line beforehand.
Do you cover Butterfield?
Yes — the small prairie town gets the same full instrumented inspection as any metro home.
