Start with Records
Compare the permitted bedrooms and layout with the property’s current use.
Check Accessible Parts
Review liquid level, lids, baffles, filters and visible damage where accessible.
Share the History
Mention recent pumping, recurring backups, alarms and problems after rain.
Understand the Limits
Buried components and seasonal conditions can limit findings; no inspection guarantees future performance.
Keep Decisions Clear
Request observed concerns, access limits and a specific recommendation for follow-up.
