@Dan StrandbergUnless the process is different there, the inspection should include identifying the type of septic tank and drain field/system; evacuation; checking for cracks/roots/deterioration; type of material tank is made of; if it’s level; size of the tank- is it large enough for the number of bedrooms; whether it closes properly; whether water run through it drains properly; that the ‘hatch’ closes properly; setbacks from the home/boundary etc; and whether both septic and drainage meet any existing regulations.Hope this helps!

There is a cleanout (pvc) fairly close to where the pipe exits the basement.There are no tree roots from here to the street.

If u eve need send me some pics and I can help you with root problems and some cost estimates. 

These were originally good hoods back in the day and they seem to returning to their roots.

At this point though if you have a specific project in mind I would be glad to have a chat and can review your project zoning requirements, design process, construction cost,  rental rates, etc.. just ping me.You can check out one of our current ADU projects at  http://root-ad.com/portfolio_item/3105-w-25th/  My brother at FreemanConstructionLtd.com is also the area's leading installer for https://www.studio-shed.com/ which is different but is a similar prefab backyard office solution. 

I finaly have investors in my corner rooting me on, answering questions, showing me that it can be done.In the next six months i plan on buying my first primary residence.

But the plumber can usually tell what caused the clog...if it wasn't tree roots causing a backup, it was most likely something like paper, hair, etc.I just simply say, "I'm sorry, but someone in the household has been flushing a lot of paper or something.

The rooter guy says they can be cleaned with the rooter, the jetter guy says rooting doesn't work but they can be jetted and the plumbing contractor says neither of those will work they have to be replaced with plastic.I'm not expecting any trouble like this but forewarned is forearmed.

They are also the most mobile and 'entrepreneurial' generation, so roots are limiting and scary.
