Howell Septic Inspections

Huff Septic is now offering real estate septic inspections in Howell, Michigan and the surrounding areas. These inspections are designed specifically for realtors, home sellers, and buyers who need certified septic system evaluations as part of the home sale or purchase process.

With a strong reputation built on years of septic experience in Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan, Huff Septic is expanding to serve real estate professionals and homeowners across east-central Michigan. Our inspections help ensure that every septic system involved in a home sale is thoroughly evaluated, documented, and reported for peace of mind at closing.

Inspection-Only Services for Michigan's Real Estate Market

This service expansion focuses on one thing: real estate septic inspections. We do not currently provide pumping, installation, or repair services in the Howell area. This allows us to focus exclusively on fast, reliable, and neutral inspections that support timely and transparent real estate transactions.

Our Howell-area inspections are available for real estate professionals, listing agents, buyers’ agents, homeowners preparing to sell, and buyers under contract. We serve properties on septic systems in both suburban and rural communities, many of which require this inspection as part of a financing contingency or local regulation.

  • Visual inspection of tank condition and contents

  • Inspection of inlet and outlet baffles

  • Drain field performance check (visual only)

  • Documentation of tank accessibility and components
