SEPTIC System Inspections

Purchasing, Selling or Altering a property on Septic

When dealing with the largest assets of your lifetime (a property) and investments as significant as a septic system, it is very important to hire a ROWP (Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner) who is properly certified to carry out a septic system inspection and has ample experience. 


Be sure to receive a written report of the inspector's findings with the appropriate seal, especially in the unfortunate event of legal disputes. Hiring the right professional to ensure the septic system is performing properly, that it meets current standards and your needs is key to your peace of mind and invaluable due diligence. 


In 2023 the ASTTBC started allowing 2 more designations to perform septic inspections;  ROWP-MP (Maintenance Provider) and ROWP-PL (Planner) due to a shortage of ROWP-PIR (Private Inspector Residential) and ROWP-PIC (Private Inspector Commercial) particularly during the Sumas floods.

Summary

Q:  Do I have to hire a ROWP (RIP, RIC, MP, PL) for my septic inspection? 


A:  No, you can hire your hairdresser or gardener if you wish however hiring a professional who is properly certified, experienced and can provide you with the appropriate sealed documentation ensures you are not wasting your money on reports that do not meet various agency requirements, not being provided misleading information and that you are fully protected, especially in the event of a legal dispute. 

Compliance Inspections

If you are planning an alteration, addition, or require paperwork for permits at city hall, a compliance inspection is typically the first step. Proper certification is mandatory in this case.
