A PROPERLY MAINTAINED SEPTIC SYSTEM IS RELIABLE AND CAN SERVE HOMEOWNERS FOR MANY YEARS. IN A REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION ANY PROPERTY THAT HAS A SEPTIC SYSTEM IS REQUIRED BY A MORTGAGE LENDER A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE SEPTIC TANK AND LEACH FIELD  THIS SHOULD BE DONE BY A LICENSED C-42 CONTRACTOR LICENSED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND IN GOOD STANDING. WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT YOUR CERTIFICATION IS TO THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF YOUR HOME. SHOULD YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM FAIL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE INSPECTION, AMC CONTRACTORS WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTY.

SEPTIC INSPECTIONS:

A LICENSED C-42 CONTRACTOR WILL LOCATE AND UNCOVER THE SEPTIC TANK LIDS (SOLID AND LIQUID). THE LIDS ARE NORMALLY 3 FT UNDER THE GROUND. THEY WILL PULL OFF THE LIDS, PUMP BOTH SIDES OF THE SEPTIC TANK,INSPECT THE CONDITION OF THE SEPTIC TANK. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ALL INLET AND OUTLET T’S.THEY CHECK THE BAFFLE TO MAKE SURE IT IS IN PLACE (THIS ALLOWS THE LIQUID TO TRANSFER FROM THE SOLID SIDE TO THE LIQUID SIDE AND THEN OUT TO THE LEACH FIELD . THEY CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE TANK ITSELF TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOT DETERIATED. IF THE SEPTIC TANK LIDS HAVE ANY OXIDATION ON THEM. THIS ALERTS THE CONTRACTORS THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN OVERFLOW FROM THE LEACH FIELD  THEN A WATERHOLE IS INSERTED IN THE LIQUID SIDE FOR HALF AN HOUR. THE PURPOSE OF THIS TEST IS TO SEE IF ANY WATER FLOWS BACK INTO THE TANK IMMODERATELY INDICATING THAT THE LEACH FIELD CAN ‘T HOLD THE FLOW OF WATER. THIS ALERTS THE CONTRACTOR THAT THE LEACH FIELD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.

AT THIS POINT THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED THE INSPECTION. BEFORE WE CAN PROVIDE THE HOMEOWNER WITH A CERTIFICATION. WE WILL PROVIDE THE HOMEOWNER VARIOUS OPTIONS SO THAT WE CAN PASS THE SEPTIC SYSTEM AND THEY CAN COMPLETE THEY’RE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION.
THIS PROCESS ONLY TAKES A FEW HOURS. YOUR CERTIFICATION CAN THEN BE FAXED TO THE LENDER FOR A QUICK CLOSING.
