Septic Inspection in Walters

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.

Walters is a small Faribault County village of older homes. Housing here runs to older farm-town homes, across the village core.

Septic systems in Faribault County

Faribault County requires the seller to give the buyer an SSTS Property Transaction Form at or before closing. If the existing system is out of compliance, a system meeting the ordinance must be installed within 10 months of the transaction. The county page does not spell out a mandatory inspection, so confirm details with the county. 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 must a seller give a buyer for a septic system in Faribault County?
The seller provides an SSTS Property Transaction Form to the buyer at or before closing, and a non-compliant system must be replaced within 10 months of the transaction. We scope the sewer line and coordinate the licensed inspection so you know the system's condition beforehand. Ask your agent whether the purchase agreement sets a timeline for the inspection.
Do you cover Walters?
Yes — Walters is a short run from our Buffalo Center base. The older farm-town stock gets services dated precisely, and older laterals get a sewer-scope recommendation.
