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