A septic inspection shows how well your septic system is working and whether anything needs attention. State Line Septic provides septic inspections, assessments and in-depth real estate inspections for homeowners, buyers, sellers and lenders in Bella Vista, Rogers and Northwest Arkansas, and every inspection is documented on a visual inspection form. Request an inspection or learn about septic tank pumping.

What Does a Septic Inspection Include?

Every inspection is tailored to the system and the reason for the visit. A typical inspection includes:

  • Locating the septic tank and exposing the access lid
  • Checking the tank, lids and inlet and outlet baffles for damage
  • Checking the effluent filter
  • Testing the pump, float switches and alarm on homes with a pump system
  • Looking for signs of drain field problems
  • Camera inspection of lines when needed

Our findings, recommendations and your next recommended service date are documented on a visual inspection form, so you have a clear record of the system's condition.

Real Estate Septic Inspections

Buying or selling a home with a septic system? Arkansas does not require a septic inspection statewide when a home is sold, but many buyers and lenders ask for one before closing. Our in-depth real estate inspections give buyers, sellers and lenders an honest picture of the system before anyone commits. Book early in the sale process so there is time to plan for any repairs.

Septic Assessments When Something Seems Wrong

Slow drains, backups, odors or soggy ground can point to a problem beyond a full tank. A septic assessment looks at the whole system to find the cause, so you know whether you need pumping, septic pump repair or another septic system repair.

Routine Inspections Help Prevent Costly Repairs

Problems caught early are almost always easier and less expensive to fix. Pairing an inspection with routine pumping every 3 to 5 years lets our technicians spot worn baffles, clogged filters and pump issues before they turn into backups or drain field damage.

Septic Inspections FAQs

Arkansas does not require one statewide, but many lenders and buyers request an inspection before closing. We offer in-depth real estate septic inspections.

The time depends on the type of inspection and how easy the tank is to reach. We will give you an estimate of the time when you book.

Either one can. Buyers often order an inspection as part of their due diligence, and some sellers have one done before listing so there are no surprises.

We explain what we found in plain terms, note it on your inspection form and give you an estimate for any recommended repairs.

A good rule is to have the system checked whenever the tank is pumped, about every 3 to 5 years, and any time you notice warning signs.
