What a transfer inspection covers
- Tank pumped and internally inspected (you can't inspect a full tank — anyone who says otherwise is skipping it)
- Baffles, tees, and compartment walls checked for damage
- Leach field evaluated for saturation and flow-back
- System sized against the home's bedroom count
- Written report suitable for escrow, buyers, and lenders
For sellers
Getting inspected before listing beats getting surprised in escrow. A passing report is a selling point on High Desert properties; a failing one found early gives you time to fix on your terms instead of the buyer's.
For buyers
Most Phelan homes are on systems older than their kitchen remodels. The few hundred dollars an inspection costs is insurance against inheriting a failing leach field — the single most expensive surprise in rural home buying.
