Prevent Surprises

 

One of the strongest advantages to a septic system inspection is that of avoiding of maintenance emergencies and the property damage they sometimes cause. 

 

Having a licensed Missouri septic inspector find problems, or give a passed inspection certificate can bring a lot of peace of mind. ​

Thousands of Dollars in Either Added Cost or Savings.

 

Serious damage to a septic system can easily go unnoticed for some time. In fact, having that damage become all-too apparent is one of the major reasons for calls. 

Without a thorough inspection, a very expensive problem can be overlooked, only to be found out later when the problem becomes obvious or dangerous

Home Sellers –Reduce sale entanglements and possible liability. 

 

Your buyer isn't going to want to be in for expensive surprises during or after a real estate sale.

 

If there is even a chance your system isn't working or isn't up to code, you can avoid risk with an inspector and  get a passing report instead of one that notes violations of a well-working system. 

Many have learned this the hard way but it can be avoided with an inspection beforehand.

Home Purchasers –Avoid the risk of a house that might look good, but has expensive septic system problems.

When looking to purchase a home with a septic system, it's strongly recommended you get a tank and septic inspection before finalizing the deal.

Many people have purchased a house that was sound in structure, only to find out later that the septic system was in need of expensive repair. 

If you are a prospective purchaser, make sure you get a system inspection beforehand.

Make sure your Missouri service provider is a OWTS inspector licensed by the state. 

This can protect you legally.

OWTS stands for Onsite Wastewater Treatment System.

Being licensed in this way has the added benefit that the person has gone through the proper training needed for a thorough tank and septic system inspection at a recognized and professional level.
