Septic Inspection in Morristown

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.

Morristown is a small Cannon River town west of Faribault. Housing here runs to small Cannon River town homes, across the river core west of Faribault.

Septic systems in Rice County

MDA's county report says compliance inspections are conducted in Rice County during property transfers, and the county's Transfer Agreement form covers cases where an inspection cannot happen before closing because of frozen ground, when a report is due by June 1. If a compliance inspection finds a system out of compliance, the form spells out repair timelines. 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.
Can a Rice County septic inspection wait until after closing?
If prohibitive weather such as snow or frozen soil prevents an inspection before transfer, the county's Transfer Agreement lets it happen afterward, with the report due to the county by June 1 following closing. The seller must share results with the buyer and county within 15 days of completion. We scope the sewer line and coordinate the licensed inspector.
Do you cover Morristown?
Yes — the small river town west of Faribault is in core service area. River-valley ground puts drainage and basement moisture first, then the systems typical of an older small-town stock.
