HOMEOWNERS

Getting your septic system inspected every few years will help to keep your system working properly and help identify potential problems before they turn into a "replace the system" scenario. Inspections can easily be completed when you have your tank pumped out every 3-5 years and should include both visual inspections of your system's primary components as well as a hydraulic test.
BUYERS

Have peace-of-mind knowing that you're not going to get stuck with an expensive surprise after closing on your new property. Septic system inspections are a quick, inexpensive way to ensure you're making an informed decision before closing on a new home.
SELLERS

California law requires all sellers to disclose any known problems with the property to buyers. A septic inspection is a safe way to ensure that even an "unknown" problem doesn't get in the way of a smooth closing or worse, turn into a legal battle after-the-fact.
REAL ESTATE AGENTS

First and foremost, getting a property's septic system inspected will help ensure a smooth transaction and smooth transactions are good for your business. And while California disclosure laws don't directly apply to realtors, error and omission insurance policies are often brought into to legal disputes as easy targets during litigation when problems do arise.
