Certified Septic Inspections in El Paso County
El Paso County Health Department requires an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System inspection for property sales. Arrowhead Septic is a licensed OWTS Pumper and Inspector.
What to Expect
We will send you a Pre-Inspection Form to be completed before the inspection.
An El Paso County Application must be completed by the buyer or agent prior to inspection.
Once we have received payment for the inspection, our technician will submit the findings to the county. The findings must be submitted within 3 days of the inspection.
El Paso County Health Department will respond to the customer within 10 - 14 days with results.
Keep In Mind
Distances between where we can park the truck and where the tank is located. If the tank is further than 150 ft from the truck access, we have to bring extra hoses which have associated fees.
Septic Lids must be exposed. If the lids are buried, they will need to be dug up prior to inspection. We can dig up lids with additional fees per foot.
Our Technicians will need access to water within the home to complete the inspection.
To avoid additional fees or charges, be sure the access to the property is clear - especially in winter months.
