About Septic System Inspections In St. Charles County

NPI Greater St. Louis Provides Septic Inspections in St. Louis, St. Charles, O’Fallon, St. Peters, Wentzville, Chesterfield, Maryland Heights, and Surrounding Areas

An assessment of your system for a real estate transaction is required under 19 CSR 20-3.060 which outlines the Missouri Minimum State Standards. Some things to note about septic system inspections:

  1. The State does not recognize the term “Grandfathered In." 
  2. We do not reinspect repairs made by non-licensed contractors. 
  3. We do not warranty tank size, and default to county permits, if on file. 
  4. We do not match current # of bedrooms with the county assessors records. 
  5. We do not inspect septic wiring.
  6. We do not match aerator control boxes to aerators, pumps or controls.

IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH YOUR SYSTEM (Outside of St. Charles County)
Contact a Septic Installer to bid/perform repairs. They will need a copy of the inspection report.
