What the service can include

Tank evaluation

A visual inspection after the tank is pumped, including its condition and accessible components.

Flow and drain field concerns

Observed flow or returning water can indicate the need for further evaluation. Inspection findings guide the recommendation.

A next-step estimate

Discuss any identified repairs, components or further work before proceeding.

About the estimate

Diagnostic visit: $79. If you go ahead with the work, the $79 is credited toward it.

Warranties follow manufacturer recommendations and XQS terms for each service. Call for details about coverage or financing.

Confirm the inspection charge and whether pumping or tank locating is included. No single inspection price is advertised here.

Check it yourself first

When a septic inspection makes sense.

Checks you can do without opening anything. They help you describe the situation; the visit confirms the cause.

  1. Last inspection: If it’s been more than 3 years, or there’s no record of one, you’re due.[5]
  2. Buying or selling? Ask for the last pump-out date and records, plus the construction permit, and compare its sketch with where the system actually is.[44]
  3. Has the house been empty? An unused system can hide problems. An evaluation after 30–60 days of normal use gives a clearer picture.[45][44]

Safety: Never open or lean into the septic tank. The gases inside can be deadly.[8]

Your questions, answered

Before you schedule.

A clear scope makes the next step easier. Let us know if you have questions about the visit.

Is inspection the same as pumping?

No. Pumping removes contents; inspection evaluates condition. Ask how the two will be coordinated for your visit.

What if I do not know where the tank is?

XQS also offers septic tank locating, independently or with another service. Pricing varies by that arrangement.
