Septic Inspection in Cedar Mills

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.

Cedar Mills is a tiny Meeker County city on the South Fork Crow River and the Luce Line Trail. Housing here runs to a small stock of older village houses from the railroad years, with a few newer homes among them, across the small townsite along Highway 7 and the Luce Line State Trail, near the grain elevator.

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 happens to a failing septic system at a Meeker County sale?
The county ordinance says a non-conforming system must be corrected within ten months of the closing date, and it has a winter provision for sales from November 1 to April 30 with a June 1 filing deadline. We scope the sewer line and coordinate the licensed inspection as one booking.
Cedar Mills sits on the South Fork Crow River — is flooding a concern?
It is worth asking about. The South Fork of the Crow River runs along the southwest border of Cedar Mills, which was laid out in 1860 and had a post office from 1870 to 1955. Houses closest to the river or to low ground can see wet basements in high-water years. We inspect grading, foundation walls, sump systems and any staining at the floor. In a city of only about 60 residents, any house that has sat vacant also gets a look for plumbing freeze damage, pests and roof condition.
