Why it matters
-
In most rural Ontario transactions, the buyer pays for the septic inspection, standard due diligence, like the home inspection.
-
Septic repair or replacement can run into the tens of thousands, the most expensive hidden variable in a rural purchase.
-
Many buyers add a septic condition to their offer; some lenders & insurers require verification before closing.
This is:
✔ A thorough on-site inspection of a conventional septic system
✔ A plain-English written report
✔ Buyer-side due diligence before you commit
This is not:
✖ An advanced-treatment-unit (bio-filter) service, referred to the manufacturer's certified provider
✖ A repair or installation quote
✖ A municipal compliance certificate
✖ A guarantee against all future failure
