Septic Tank Inspections For Real Estate Transactions

Are you considering purchasing a cottage or rural property in the communities of Apsley, Lakefield, Young’s Point, Buckhorn,  Peterborough, Bridgenorth or elsewhere in the Kawartha’s?

A septic inspection as a condition of purchase is a wise investment. Your home inspection tends to focus on the systems within the home giving only a cursory glance at the septic system – a thorough look at the septic system requires specialized training that the professionals at Kawartha Disposal can provide.

Why should I get a Septic inspection when I purchase a home, cottage or business with a septic system?

The average cost of a new septic system for a three-bedroom house in Ontario is between $10,000-$20,000 depending on soil conditions.  Septic repairs and problems can be expensive and unpleasant.  A thorough septic inspection will be a small investment to help ensure your new system is functioning properly.

It is a good idea to choose someone who is familiar with local regulations and has lengthy experience in the area. Generally, the technician will look for signs of leakage or backup, measure the sludge and scum levels and try to establish the age and condition of the tank.
