What does septic inspection cost?
A septic inspection usually costs $150 to $900. The low end is a visual check of the tank and drainfield; the high end opens and pumps the tank as part of the inspection, which is what most buyers should ask for.
Do I need a septic inspection when buying a house?
If the property is on a septic system: yes, strongly recommended and often required by lenders. The inspection covers the tank, baffles, drainfield, and permit history. Schedule it early in your option period; a failed system is a five-figure negotiation item.
