  3. 3Full physical evaluationTank opened, baffles checked, sludge and scum measured, flow test run, field walked. The same inspection a buyer's inspector would perform.
  4. 4Findings you can act onSorted into what should be fixed, what can be disclosed and priced, and what is simply a condition worth explaining.
  5. 5Documentation for the listingA report you can attach to the listing packet, which removes the septic unknown from the offer conversation entirely.
  6. 6Re-inspection if you repairIf you fix something, we can document the corrected condition so the file you hand a buyer is current.
