Many home inspectors offer septic system testing utilizing a dye test methodology. Although Howell on Homes Inspection LLC can perform a septic system dye test, the encouraged method is to instead have a septic system expert conduct an inspection as part of a tank cleaning prior to closing on a home. In fact, many lenders require septic tanks be cleaned prior to their closing the loan. This will allow the septic system expert a chance to examine the sludge, the depth and potential broken system components.
During a routine home inspection, Howell on Homes Inspection LLC checks drains for functional flow, toilets for proper functioning and checks for air gap and cross-flow.
Septic systems in New York State are highly regulated by both state and local government agencies. New York State regulates these systems through the Department of Health.
