All Clear Septic and Wastewater Services know that if you are selling a property for the first time that has a septic system it is unlikely that you will ever have had to arrange a Title 5 Septic Inspection before, like our customer today in Sharon MA. This is because it is usually the seller’s responsibility to have one carried out and when you bought the property you would have received the report but other than checking that your new property’s septic system passed most owners do not look further into the report. Therefore when it comes to having a Title 5 Inspection what it entails is sometimes a bit of a mystery. At All Clear Septic and Wastewater Services we are always happy to provide our customers with information whether it is about the workings of their septic system or the details of a Title 5 Septic Inspection. Here is what you can expect from an official Title 5 Inspection – the inspector will:

  • conduct an interview with the property owner
  • research the paperwork for your property at your city’s Board of Health Department
  • survey the general size of the building or list a summary of the number of bedrooms
  • inspects the connection from the house/building to the system
  • inspects the inlet/outlet of the septic tank
  • examines the integrity of the tank
  • measures the liquid/contents of the tank
  • examines the integrity of the distribution box
  • measures the liquid/contents of the distribution box
  • checks the soil absorption system (SAS) condition
  • checks the relation of the system’s water table to the SAS
  • provides an official 17-page document to the local approving authority and the owner, including all findings and a detailed sketch of the system
