Septic inspections in Craven County

On a New Bern 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 Craven County.

The trouble here is the low coastal-plain ground. Eastern North Carolina soils drain fast until a wet season or a high tide pushes the water table up under the drain field, and then a tired field has nowhere to send anything. Sitting this close to the Neuse, the Trent, and all the tidal creeks, a lot of Craven County lots run a high seasonal water table year-round. Plenty of these systems went in during the 1970s through the '90s, and they're wearing out all at once. When a toilet won't flush, the tub gurgles, or sewage bubbles up in the yard, that's not something to sit on — you want somebody local who can be out here quick.

Local septic crews who know Eastern North Carolina soils, tidal water tables, and aging 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
