Buying or selling a Campbellton house?
Yes, we provide performance inspection reports specifically for real estate sales.
There are two kinds of septic inspection report. A performance inspection report is the one used during a sale. We issue compliance inspection reports when you apply for a building permit. Tell us which one the deal needs and we will write that one.
What if there is no record of the system?
Island Health should hold records for all systems from 2005 onward and most from 1990 to 2005.
Older Campbellton systems often have no file. We help you request historical septic records from Island Health, which charges a $50.00 fee per property. That is Island Health's fee, not ours. Where nothing turns up, we locate and uncover the tank and inspect what is actually in the ground.
What a buyer should do with the report
Adding bedrooms increases household water usage, requiring a properly sized septic system.
Read past the summary line. Our inspection report details your system's equipment type and overall condition so you have complete facts.
If you are planning to add bedrooms, tell us before we write it. Expanding your home increases daily wastewater volume, which often requires updating your septic setup. Better you know that during the deal than after it.
How do you prepare for our septic inspection?
Clear grass off your tank lids before we arrive. Point us toward your buried tank. We inspect your tank, filter, and drain field.

Questions from buyers and sellers
Which report does my realtor mean?
You need a performance inspection report when buying or selling a property. A compliance inspection report supports building permit applications for home alterations.
Can I order the Island Health file myself?
Yes. You use Island Health's Request for Release of Information form, and Island Health charges $50.00 per property for it. That is its fee and it does not come to us.
The file came back empty. Is that a red flag?
Not by itself. Older properties often lack archived permits, but a thorough physical inspection reveals your system's true condition. That is what the inspection is for.
How long is the report good for?
It describes the system on the day we looked at it. If the deal drags on or the house sits empty for a season, tell us and we will say whether it is worth another look.
