Septic Inspection in Montgomery

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.

Montgomery is a small Czech-heritage southern town of early-1900s homes. Housing here runs to early-1900s Czech-heritage homes with postwar infill, across the historic town core.

Septic systems in Le Sueur County

Le Sueur County's zoning ordinance (Section 17) requires a compliance inspection prior to property sale or transfer, and the county says the landowner is responsible for having it completed. Only MPCA-licensed inspectors can perform it, and the county inspects new systems only. Conveyances between November 1 and April 30 need an inspection by the following June 1. We camera-scope the sewer line and coordinate the licensed SSTS compliance inspection as 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.
Who does the septic inspection when selling in Le Sueur County?
The landowner is responsible for getting it done. The county inspects new systems only, so existing systems are inspected by MPCA-licensed inspectors. A winter conveyance between November 1 and April 30 needs the inspection by the following June 1. We scope the sewer line and coordinate the licensed inspector as one booking.
What is specific to Montgomery's older homes?
Heritage-era construction — balloon framing, original masonry and systems that have been layered over for a century. The value in the report is untangling which layer is current and which is abandoned in place, especially in the wiring.
