Septic O&M • Sewer Camera • Structural Pest Inspection (Wood Destroying Organisms)
Sewer lines, septic systems, and drainage issues can lead to major expenses if they’re discovered after you buy a home. Specialty inspections help you understand these systems before closing.
In many local transactions — including Jefferson County — a septic Operations & Maintenance (O&M) inspection is required. A standard home inspection doesn’t cover this, and it often doesn’t include a full sewer line evaluation either.
Structural Pest Inspection (Wood Destroying Organisms) Required for most Washington State real estate transaction. This inspection identifies wood- destroying insects, fungi, dry rot, and conditions that promote damage- including moisture and poor ventilation. A clear, state- compliant report is provided for buyers, sellers, and lenders.
I provide both septic O&M and sewer camera inspections, so you can get the required and recommended evaluations in one convenient step instead of coordinating separate contractors.
Specialty inspections provide a more detailed evaluation of property systems that may fall outside the scope of a standard residential inspection.
Operation and Maintenance inspections evaluate the condition and function of qualifying septic systems in Jefferson and Clallam Counties.
The inspection may include:
Ideal for: Homebuyers, sellers, routine maintenance, and applicable county compliance requirements.
A sewer camera inspection provides a real-time view inside the property’s sewer line from the home toward the main connection.
It can help identify:
Ideal for: Homebuyers, older properties, homes with slow drains, and anyone looking for additional due diligence before purchasing.
Evaluation for signs of wood-destroying insects, fungi, rot, and conditions that may encourage pest activity or deterioration.
Moisture, poor drainage, and inadequate ventilation can create ideal conditions for damage in crawlspaces, framing, and other concealed areas.
Ideal for: Real estate transactions and homes with suspected moisture or pest concerns.
A septic inspection helps find developing issues before they turn into backups, system failure, or costly repairs.
Homes in the Pacific Northwest deal with a lot of rain and difficult soils, which can put extra pressure on septic systems. During the O&M inspection, I evaluate how the system is performing and look for early warning signs.
You’ll also get practical recommendations so you know what to do next — helping you prevent bigger problems and keep the system working the way it should.
A sewer camera inspection lets you look inside the line so you can find problems before they turn into backups, slow drains, or expensive excavations.
Older sewer lines are common in the Pacific Northwest and can develop roots, bellies, cracks, or offsets over time. During the inspection, I run a camera through the line to evaluate its condition and identify any issues that a standard home inspection can’t see.
You’ll receive clear findings and practical recommendations so you understand the condition of the line and what steps (if any) are needed to protect the property.
Required for most real estate transactions in Washington State. This inspection evaluates the home for evidence of wood-destroying insects, fungi, dry rot, and conditions that promote infestation or structural deterioration- including moisture, poor ventilation, and wood-to-soil contact.
A clear, state-compliant report is provided so buyers, sellers, and lenders have the documentation needed to move forward with confidence.
A strong option for homebuyers who want to evaluate both the home and the condition of the underground sewer line.
Ideal for properties with septic systems where both the home and wastewater system need to be evaluated.
Useful for properties where wastewater, drainage, or underground system conditions are a particular concern.
Combine a home inspection with sewer camera, septic O&M, and environmental testing for a broader evaluation of the property.
