Routine maintenance helps prevent backups and expensive repairs.

Most systems should be pumped every 1-2 years, depending on:

• Household size 
• Water usage 
• System condition 

A Title 5 inspection is a Massachusetts-required inspection that ensures your septic system meets environmental and health regulations.

It is commonly required when:

• Selling a home 
• Renovating or expanding a property 
• Addressing system concerns

A Title 5 inspection is required:

• When selling the property and is good for 2 years provided the system is pumped yearly

A certified inspector will:

• Examine the septic tank and distribution box 
• Check for cracks, leaks, and damage 
• Measure sludge and scum levels 
• Evaluate system performance 
• Inspect the leach field 
• Check water table
• Inspect drywell

If a system fails:

• Repairs or replacement are required 
• The homeowner must bring the system into compliance

We can guide you through the repair or replacement process.

Water meter readings

Pumping records

Septic plans or asbuilts

We assist in gathering all these necessary documents.

Most inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on the system and property.

In most cases, no. A septic tank should not be pumped before the inspection, because the system needs to be operating under its normal daily flow for the inspector to accurately evaluate how it’s functioning.

If the tank is pumped too soon:

• The inspector can’t observe the actual liquid levels
• Key indicators of system health are temporarily removed

If your tank has been pumped, the inspection must be delayed for at least two weeks to allow the system to return to normal operating conditions. Pumping is typically done during the inspection or after, it is at the discretion of the inspector.  

We can handle both pumping and inspection, making it easy.

It is not necessary or required to have your system inspected unless you are selling your home; renovating a property, or addressing system concerns. 

Every RooterMan customer receives a complete inspection of their septic system’s components during the pumping process. This ensures you’re fully informed about how your system is performing and whether any issues need attention.
