At Drain Division, we carry out detailed septic tank inspections to assess the condition, performance and compliance of your system. Whether you’ve noticed a problem, are due for a routine check, or need an inspection before buying or selling a property, our engineers provide clear, reliable reporting and practical advice.

When Should You Book a Septic Tank Inspection?

A septic tank inspection is recommended when:

  • You notice signs of a fault such as slow drainage, bad smells, pooling water or unusual noises
  • You are buying or selling a property with a septic system
  • You want to check the condition of your tank during or after scheduled emptying
  • You haven’t had an inspection in several years and want to ensure everything is operating efficiently

Identifying issues early can prevent costly failures. In many cases, repairs can be made before full system replacement is needed. Leaving issues unresolved can lead to environmental risks, legal non-compliance and unexpected expenses.

Do You Need a Septic Tank Inspection to Sell or Buy a Property?

If you’re buying a home with a septic tank, a pre-purchase survey is strongly recommended. It helps protect against hidden costs and ensures the system is in working order and compliant with current regulations. If you’re selling, an inspection offers reassurance to potential buyers and helps avoid delays or renegotiations.

Drain Division also offers CCTV drain surveys alongside septic tank checks, giving you a complete picture of the property’s off-mains drainage.
