Septic Inspections
Why Septic Inspections Matter
Septic inspections play a key role in protecting property value, public health, and meeting municipal requirements. If you're preparing to sell a home, transfer ownership, or applying for a permit, having a professional septic inspection is often required.
Bailey’s Septic is certified through the Pennsylvania Septage Management Association (PSMA), and we’re fully qualified to meet township regulations throughout Berks County. We bring the same commitment to every inspection that we’ve delivered across generations of service.
Septic Inspections for Local Townships
Some PA townships (Muhlenberg and Cumru, for example), require septic system inspections as part of their local ordinances. Bailey’s Septic is officially approved to perform these inspections and submit all required reports directly to the township.
When inspections are required:
During property sales or transfers
When applying for certain permits
As part of municipal compliance programs
What the inspection includes:
Assessment of tank condition and capacity
Inspection of baffles and risers
Evaluation of the drainfield or absorption area
Dye testing (if applicable)
Digital report submission to the township
Hydraulic load testing for vacant properties, where water is introduced to check if the system absorbs and functions properly
We help homeowners and real estate professionals stay in compliance while making the process simple and hassle-free.
