Ask me anything about inspecting septic systems...

[Gary Farnsworth]

In many states, and individual counties, you have to be employed by the county or state, and have a degree, education, etc. All are different. Here in Kansas, the county itself checks the septic system; no one else. In rural counties, individuals can do them, but qualifications are varied. Since tanks are underground, and codes/requirements change often, liability is just too great for me. Some plumbers do scopes, but that may be inconclusive. Removing the tank cover, pumping, then visual check is usually best by septic companies; not the HI.
