For buyers, an inspection verifies you are not inheriting a failing system or expensive repair.For sellers, a recent, professional report prevents subject-removal delays and proves the system is operating properly to prospective buyers and lenders. We provide thorough point-of-sale inspections and complete documentation to satisfy real estate conditions.

To ensure an accurate and thorough inspection, we recommend three simple steps:
Ensure Tank Access: The tank lids, risers, and distribution box should be exposed and accessible. If they are buried or hard to locate, our technicians can locate and expose them for you (additional charges apply).
Verify Normal System Use: For accurate hydraulic flow test results, the system should have been in recent active use rather than sitting vacant for months.
Provide VIHA Filing Document: Please have your Island Health (VIHA) filing document or system records accessible to help our technicians confirm your system’s approved layout and tank locations.
