How Can We Help?


Complete Excavation and Septic provides real estate focused septic inspections designed to reduce risk and keep deals moving. We work with realtors and clients throughout Grand Isle County and parts of Franklin, Chittenden, and Clinton Counties, and we show up like professionals, not “a chuck in a truck.”
What our real estate septic inspection includes:
• Septic pumping (so the tank is clear enough to actually inspect)
• Septic camera inspection (to check lines and identify blockages or damage)
• Component checks (baffles, tees, lids, access points, visible signs of failure)
• Clear next-step guidance if something looks off
Social Proof / Trust Strip

If you are representing a buyer or seller, septic can feel like a landmine. We help take the mystery out of it with a process that is:
• Scheduling friendly for inspection windows
• Easy to communicate to buyers and sellers
• Straightforward about what is normal vs what is a red flag
• Practical about next steps if repairs are needed
We regularly work with realtors and property owners across Grand Isle County and parts of Franklin, Chittenden, and Clinton Counties
For buyers: a septic system can cost a lot to repair or replace. An inspection helps you understand what you are buying before it becomes your problem.
For sellers: a clean inspection can reduce last-minute negotiation chaos. If something is found, you get the chance to address it on your timeline.
Common reasons people call us:
• Slow drains or backups
• Unknown system history
• Older homes with limited records
• Peace of mind before listing or closing
• A lender, agent, or buyer request
We keep it simple and thorough.
1) Locate and access the system
We identify access points and confirm what we are working with.
2) Pump the tank
Pumping removes buildup so we can properly evaluate conditions inside the tank.
3) Camera inspection
We run a camera to check for blockages, breaks, root intrusion, bellies, and other issues.
4) Check key components
We look at visible functional components like baffles/tees, lids, risers, and signs of leakage or failure where accessible.
5) Clear findings and next steps
If the system looks good, we say so. If it does not, we explain what it likely means and what options typically look like.
Optional add-ons (only if needed):
• Repairs based on findings
• Drain field troubleshooting guidance
• Replacement planning support

Do you always pump the tank?
For real inspection results, pumping is often necessary. It helps us actually see what is going on.
What does the camera inspection tell us?
It can reveal blockages, root intrusion, breaks, low spots, and other line issues that are easy to miss otherwise.
Can you repair issues you find?
In many cases, yes. If a repair is outside the scope of the inspection visit, we explain the options and next steps.
Do you provide documentation?
We provide clear findings and guidance that is easy to understand for buyers, sellers, and agents.
