Septic Inspection in Isanti

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.

Isanti is a Rum River exurb of 2000s subdivisions on sandy east-central soils. Housing here runs to 2000s subdivisions around a small older core, across the newer subdivisions and the older blocks near the Rum River.

Septic systems in Isanti County

Isanti County's zoning ordinance requires a Point of Sale Certificate of Compliance whenever land with a dwelling or an on-site sewage system is sold. The buyer may not occupy the dwelling before the certificate is issued, unless both owners sign an agreement approved by the Zoning Administrator setting a corrective date. An MPCA-licensed inspector must do the inspection. We camera-scope the sewer line and coordinate that 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.
Can I move into an Isanti County home before the septic certificate is issued?
Under the county's ordinance the purchaser cannot occupy before the Point of Sale Certificate of Compliance is issued, unless the current and prospective owners file a written agreement setting a corrective-action date, which the Zoning Administrator must approve. We scope the sewer line and coordinate the licensed inspector so the certificate is not what delays closing.
Is Isanti's sandy soil a problem?
Sandy ground drains well but transports radon readily — Isanti County is EPA Radon Zone 2, but a county zone never predicts one house, so we still recommend testing, and we check that sump systems and grading match the seasonal water table.
