A septic system is one of the most expensive parts of a rural home to replace, and it is completely hidden. An inspection tells you what condition it is really in.
Several Simcoe County municipalities, including Tiny Township, Innisfil and Oro-Medonte, run septic re-inspection or maintenance programs — an inspection and pump-out together is the easiest way to be ready.
What’s included
- Locating and opening the tank
- Checking tank condition, baffles and liquid levels
- Walking the leaching bed for wet spots or odours
- Photos and notes on what was found
- Pumping at the same visit if needed
When you need it
- You are buying or selling a home on septic
- Your township sent a re-inspection notice
- The system is old and you do not know its condition
- You have had backups or smells
How it works
- Request a pump-out — Tell us your town, tank size (if you know it) and when it was last pumped.
- Pick a time — A local operator calls back with a price and the next available slot.
- Done in about an hour — Tank pumped, lids closed, lawn left clean.
What affects the price
Every property is different, so quotes are based on a few things:
- Whether pumping is needed at the same visit
- Tank access and depth
- Size of the property and bed
- Type of report needed
Request a quote and you’ll get a clear price before anything is booked.
Septic inspections — questions
Should a buyer get a septic inspection?
Yes. Make your offer conditional on a satisfactory septic inspection if you can — it protects you from a very expensive surprise.
Does the tank need to be pumped for an inspection?
Often, yes — pumping lets the inspector see the walls and baffles properly.
