LIMITATIONS, TERMS & CONDITIONS

1. Inspection does not include any testing or evaluation of material or workmanship used in the original installation or subsequent repairs or modifications to the septic tank system, leach lines or leach field.

2. Inspection of the tank lids and covers is limited to a visual inspection of condition and placement at the time of inspection and does not include any testing or analysis of composition, strength or quality.

3. Inspection of the septic tank is limited to a visual inspection of components that are visible from the access ports available or provided by the customer. Inspection does not include any testing or analysis of the tank’s composition, strength or quality. Only one tank will be pumped and inspected unless a design or plot map indicates that more than one tank makes up the component parts of the system. No materials test, x-rays, or other means are used to determine the quality of the materials, age, or condition of the tank.

4. Inspection in Washoe County does include the induction of water into the leach field pipe to verify that the field is accepting water at the time of service. Other counties are taken on a case by case basis. Factors such as age, vacancy or minimal use can affect the ability of a leach field to absorb effluent. The fact that the line or lines are accepting water at the date of inspection is no assurance that they will continue to function in the future, that the leach field has not exhausted its useful life or that the absorption capacity in the future will be adequate to meet new demands.

5. Inspection of the septic system does not include a site inspection of the ground surface. It is recommended that the owner or prospective owner examine the ground surface in the vicinity of the tank and leach field to determine whether there is any evidence of percolation.

6. Inspection of the leach field, when a design or plot map is provided, shall be limited to a surface inspection of the exposed ground surface for percolation of effluent in the area where the map shows the leach field to be located, but does not include an inspection below the ground surface or beneath any building, pavement or other natural or man made obstruction.

7. Inspection does not include testing to determine whether any toxic, corrosive or hazardous materials have been disposed of through the septic system or whether the leach field has been contaminated by such discharge.

8. Inspection is limited to a visual examination of those parts of the system which can be visually examined and does not include soil tests, saturation tests, review of design criteria, or any other test or calculation to determine whether the system meets the design criteria, building codes, ordinances or other local, county or state requirements and is limited to a report of the condition of the septic system, leach lines, or leach field as can be determined from visual inspection at the date of inspection. If requested, we can use a camera to inspect condition of the main line provided there is cleanout pipe for access. This camera inspection is limited to a maximum distance of 100’.

9. This report of inspection is intended for the use of the person or persons requesting the inspection and paying for the service rendered and is non-transferrable to any persons not listed on our real estate work order form.

10. This report reflects visually observable conditions of the inspected septic system on the date of inspection only and is not a warranty of the sufficiency of the system to function or meet the demands to which it may be subjected in the future nor a guarantee as to the design, construction, installation or usable life of the system expressed or implied.
