Free septic system consultation
A septic inspection tells a buyer or seller what condition a system is genuinely in before money changes hands. We open the tank, check the baffles, assess the drain field and tell you what we find, in plain language you can hand to the other side.
A house on municipal sewer has very little that can go wrong at the property line. A house on septic has a tank, a field, and potentially a pump and control panel, all buried, all invisible from a walkthrough, and all capable of costing serious money.
Almost everything outside a town centre in this part of Texas is on septic. Around Lake Fork and Lake Cypress Springs you also get seasonal properties where the system has had years of intermittent, heavy use.

If you are handling closings in this area regularly, we can work to your timescales and give you a straight answer rather than a hedged one. What we will not do is tell a seller a system is fine when it is not, or tell a buyer it is failing when it needs a pump-out.
We are a TCEQ registered transporter, number 23977, working out of our own yard in Pickton since 1993.
It is not always required, but on a property with a septic system it is the single most useful inspection you can get. The tank and field are buried and invisible, and replacing a drain field is one of the larger unexpected costs a rural property can hand you.
It depends mainly on how easily the tank can be located and accessed. A system with known, accessible lids is quick. An older property where nobody knows where the tank is takes longer.
Usually yes, and it often makes sense. Measuring sludge and scum depth tells us when it was genuinely last pumped, and if it is due we can deal with it while we are there.
Call and describe what the system is doing. We come out, open it up and tell you what it needs before any work starts.
