Independent Health Services conducts certified sewage system inspections (AKA septic systems). Independent Health Services has state licensed Registered Sanitarians on staff to over see the inspections.

A septic system inspection is required on properties that use a private sewage system before a real estate closing. Our septic inspection checks to make sure that the system on the property is functioning correctly as it was designed. (I.E. dye test, flushing toilets, walking the leaching area and making sure the aerator motor and sand filters are working.)

If the system is installed correctly, cared for and the septic tank is pumped every 3 years, the inspection is usually quick and the system is approved on the spot. Unfortunately, septic systems are buried under ground and not all problems are evident at the time of inspection. This is why we conduct the dye test, and if needed, we re-inspect the property 24 to 48 hours later and at that time a determination on the working order of the system will be made.

Independent Health Services is FHA & VA approved.
