“The worst time for a septic inspection is after closing.” Whether you're a home buyer, seller, or agent, our team is standing by for your time-sensitive needs — and we help you navigate this complex, important system every step of the way to closing.
We respond fast · No obligation · Licensed experts
Partnered with the Georgia Department of Public Health, we've dedicated our work to protecting Georgia's families, homes, and environment. Our team has specialized training most other septic contractors don't. You wouldn't accept a simple “pass” or “fail” from a home inspector — why settle for that from your septic inspector?
Expertise most septic contractors don't have.
Aligned with state public-health standards.
Real specifications, not a one-word verdict.
Built around your due-diligence deadline.
Four things every SepticRooter™ real estate inspection delivers — no guesswork, no vague verdicts.
Upon scheduling, we contact the county health department to retrieve all septic records on file. (Homes built before 1970 are less likely to have records available.)
We document every inspection with video you can view from a shareable link — so every party has a visual frame of reference for what we observed.
A detailed checklist report with accurate specifications for the entire system at the time of inspection, including any recommended services or improvements.
If we recommend any service, repair, or replacement, we provide an accurate estimate for that work — usually the same day.
Whether you're a seller preparing to list or a buyer in due diligence, we quickly help you navigate the system and get to closing.
Vivid green strips or soggy spots over the drain field often mean effluent is surfacing.
Low or sunken ground, open holes, or a stinky smell in the yard are classic red flags.
Damage to bathroom or kitchen floors can trace back to a struggling septic system.
No receipts or records of past septic service means the system's history is unknown.
If nobody knows where the septic tank is, that's a problem we'll solve before closing.
“Rob the owner and his brother informed me step by step and showed me the collapsed drain field line. They installed 2 new lines and we abandoned the old ones. Extremely pleased with the entire crew — 5 star workmanship.”
“From the first call to the very end, completely professional. Beth got someone out same day when other companies said a week. Scott diagnosed it immediately and Rob and Martin fixed everything no problem.”
“Exceptional service, great responsiveness and technical expertise. Rob came out same day, Josh finished with a new tee pipe and riser within 48 hours. Beth handled everything from invoice to my nervous calls.”
A smooth transaction depends on more than financing and paperwork — the septic system can make or break a closing. We partner with agencies to teach agents and brokers what they need to serve clients well.
Our class covers how septic systems function, what to expect from a reliable inspection, what state and county codes require, and how common issues affect buying and selling. With this insight, agents can spot red flags early, set realistic expectations for buyers and sellers, and avoid last-minute surprises that delay or derail a closing.
By offering this class, we support agents in protecting their clients' best interests — and give homeowners and buyers peace of mind that one of the largest investments of their lives isn't compromised by an overlooked septic issue.
