Don’t Pay Twice: Why "Client Should Contact Certified On-Site Wastewater Contractor" Is a Red Flag
When buying a home or maintaining your property, having a septic inspection is critical— Unfortunately, many homeowners unknowingly waste money by hiring someone who isn’t licensed to fully evaluate or resolve septic system issues. They end up with a report that ends with a frustrating (and vague) statement like:
“Client should contact certified on-site wastewater contractor.”
Here’s the problem: many home inspectors or even some septic inspectors perform a limited evaluation. This phrase may seem like a helpful next step, but here’s the truth: it’s a sign that the inspector wasn’t qualified to fully evaluate, inspection or resolve the problem. Even worse? The report usually lacks the detail needed for a certified contractor to provide an estimate—meaning you’ll need to pay for another inspection.
Why You End Up Paying for a Second Inspection
Here’s what happens next: you take the report to a certified contractor, hoping to move forward with repairs—only to be told they’ll need to conduct their own inspection before they can help.
That’s because the first report didn’t uncover or document the full picture. Most of the time, components weren’t uncovered, tanks weren’t pumped, or access was blocked by landscaping. In some cases, the distribution box wasn’t even located—yet the system was still marked “needs further evaluation.” This delays your project, adds frustration, and costs you more time and money.
These gaps prevent contractors from giving you a repair estimate—and leave you stuck paying for the inspection all over again.
