How a Bermuda Run septic inspection actually runs
Most single-family systems take 60 to 90 minutes. Properties where the tank must be located from scratch run longer, and we tell you on site rather than rushing.
- 1Records pulled before we arriveWe request the county on-site wastewater file and read the permitted tank size, bedroom count, and layout drawing if one survives. That tells us where to start rather than where to guess. For this property that means the Davie County file.
- 2System located and openedWe locate the tank and drainfield physically, expose the access lids, and open the tank. On properties with no risers this is the longest part of the visit, and it is included in the price. Davie County residential area where outlying properties remain on individual systems.
- 3Tank interior evaluatedWe measure the sludge and scum depths, check the inlet and outlet baffles or sanitary tees, and assess the tank walls and lid for structural condition.
- 4Flow introduced and watchedWater goes in at household-scale volume while we watch the tank levels, outlet behavior, and how the field responds. This is where a system that looks fine often stops looking fine.
- 5Field walked and probedWe walk the drainfield for surfacing, saturation, odor, vegetation stress, and evidence of compaction or construction over the lines.
- 6Summary on site, report in 24 hoursYou get the verbal findings before we leave, then a written photo-rich report within a day that you keep permanently.

Including us. If an inspector cannot answer these plainly, that tells you something useful before you have spent anything.
- Will you open the tank, or only look at the surface?

- Do you also sell repairs or pumping?
