I have been getting alot of people asking about existing septic system inspections when they are buying a home. We love our septic pumpers but please know that pumping out the septic tank is not a septic system inspection. It is a septic tank pump out service. There is more involved when inspecting an existing septic system for a real estate transaction. A home purchase is probably the biggest investment you will make. Make sure the septic system servicing the home you are buying functions as intended, is adequate for the home, has existing permits to construct and operate signed off by an authorized person and meets the regulations of its time. I have attached some inspection guidelines in a link bellow for public understanding of the inspection process involved.
