Septic inspections in Pender County

On a Burgaw home the septic system is buried and easy to overlook - until it fails right after closing. Before you buy or sell, we inspect the whole system: tank, baffles, pump, and drain field, with a written report you and your lender can rely on across Pender County.

The trouble here is the coastal-plain ground and how wet it gets. Pender County soils run from fast-draining sand to poorly drained lowlands along the Northeast Cape Fear River, and the water table sits high and shallow — after a hard rain the aquifer can't take any more, so water backs up into the drain field from below. You've got two problems at once: aging systems from the 1970s through the '90s wearing out all over the rural county, and brand-new installs on tight, wet Wilmington-commuter lots that were never easy ground to begin with. When it backs up into a tub or bubbles up in the yard, you want somebody local who can be out here quick.

Local septic crews who know Pender County's coastal-plain soils, high water tables, and both aging and brand-new drain fields — and answer when your system backs up.

Our inspection covers

  • Tank condition, level, and baffles
  • Solids / scum measurement (pump-out if needed)
  • Effluent pump and alarm (if equipped)
  • Drain field function and surfacing check
  • Locating and mapping the system
  • Written report for your lender
