Buying or selling in the Lakes Region? Get the system evaluated by people who pump and repair them for a living — with a report your closing team can actually use.

For Buyers, Sellers & Agents

What Our Evaluation Covers

A septic system is often the most expensive single component of a rural NH home — and the least visible. Our real estate evaluation opens the tank and pumps it (the only way to actually see tank condition), inspects baffles and tank structure, locates and checks the distribution box, probes the leach field for saturation, runs water from the house to observe flow, and delivers a written, photographed report within 48 hours.

Waterfront Sellers: Know the Shoreland Rule

New Hampshire law (RSA 485-A:39) requires a septic site assessment when developed waterfront property within the protected shoreland changes hands. If you're selling on Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam, Opechee, or any protected water body, this isn't optional — build it into your listing timeline so it doesn't hold up closing.

Common Questions

What does the inspection include?

Pumping, tank and baffle inspection, d-box check, field probe, water flow test, and a written photo report for your closing file.

Only shoreland waterfront sales are state-mandated (RSA 485-A:39) — but nearly all Lakes Region buyers and lenders require one regardless.

Most full evaluations run $400–$700 including the pumping. Shoreland assessments quoted per property.
