The single biggest purchase many of us will ever make is buying a home. Compared to the cost of a large repair bill or health care bill down the road the amount of money for these inspections is peanuts. It is for the reason integral that carry out a septic inspection ct and other relevant inspections before acquiring a new home.

In most of the developed countries, citizens are bound to connect their home sewer to the local sewerage system. This makes it more workable and manageable. If any person wants to buy an old home, he or she must make a sewer inspection before hand, but it is not at the top of their demand basket.

Structure - general construction of walls, roof, ceilings, floors and foundation. Exterior - sidewalks, driveways, fences, landscaping, Plumbing - sinks, toilets, drains, showers (does not include sewer appraisal), Electrical - main panel, circuit breakers, grounding, light fixtures and receptacles, Appliances - dishwasher, fridge, stove, microwave, washer/dryer, Central Systems - Heating/Air, water heater, duct work, fireplace, Garage - main door, side entry door, firewall, lights, ceiling, roof, Roof & Attic - vents, roof construction, flashing & gutters (does not include guarantee of life expectancy of roof - you will have to hire a roofer for that)

Termite Appraisal- Termites cause a lot of damage to homes. They can survive in all types of climates and have even been found in Alaska. A Termite Inspector will visually inspect all accessible areas of the home for evidence of wood destroying insects or organisms. When the appraisal is complete you will receive a termite appraisal report.

If that happens ultimately, excavation is the only solution. Houses constructed before the city sewers were made, often relied on cesspools. When the public septic systems were installed in the cities, most of the times the cesspools remained untouched and not connected to the main public septic system. It is almost impossible for a common man to know the nuances of sewage system (whether it is faulty or not). So sewage system inspection is advisable before inking the final deal.

It is crucial to educate everyone in your household what the sewer tank is, where it is located, and why it is important. If everyone understands what can and can't go down the drain and what is most harmful to your sewer tank system, then the best maintenance practices can begin from everyone in the household.

Septic Appraisal- If the home you are buying has a private septic system, hire a professional septic contractor to do the appraisal. Home Inspectors as a rule will not do a septic appraisal. To do a proper appraisal the septic tank should be pumped out. It is common to have the seller pay for the pump out and you pay for the appraisal. If you purchase the home, you will have the peace of mind that the tank is empty and has been inspected.

To inspect the sewer pipes we need to get into them, but damages can occur where it is practically impossible to see. So, a new inventive technology is being used now a day's. Plumbing companies are using cameras to make a thorough inspection of the sewer pipes. It is well accepted also in the municipal worker's community.
