Septic Compliance

L&R SEPTIC LLC DISCLAIMER SHEET

Relative to Septic System Compliance Inspections:

1. This inspection report is being performed for only the seller/owner or of the properly on which the septic system is located; there is no contract between L&R Septic LLC and any other property except the seller/owner unless otherwise noted. In such case that the buyer of the property is paying for the inspection, the contract is between only the buyer of the property and L&R Septic LLC, there is no contract with any other party unless otherwise noted. Liability to L&R Septic LLC, is limited to the cost of this inspection.

2. L&R Septic LLC has not been retained to warrant, guarantee, or certify the proper functioning of the system for any period of time beyond the date of inspection or the future. Because of the numerous factors (usage, maintenance, tank pumping, soil characteristics, previous failures, etc.) which may affect the proper operation of a septic system, as well as the inability of L&R Septic LLC. to supervise or monitor the use or maintenance of the system, the report shall not be construed as a warranty by L&R Septic LLC that the system will function properly for any particular person for any period of time.

3. Minimum Compliance Inspection requirements relative to this inspection and this report include only verification that the septic system has a watertight septic tank(s) and lift tank, the required separation from the bottom of the drain field/mound distribution medium and saturated soils, no back-ups of sewage into the dwelling, and no discharge of sewage/effluent onto the ground surface or surface water (lakes, streams, etc.). L&R Septic LLC does not inspect basement ejector pumps or exterior lift tank pumps as they are considered to be a “maintenance item". Sewage backup verification is limited to observing the floor drain area and/or the information supplied by the last occupants of the dwelling prior to inspection. L&R Septic LLC cannot guarantee that the information given to them by the last occupants of the dwelling prior to inspection relative to backups or failure is accurate. Some persons may attempt to hide or conceal signs of previous back-ups.

4. Certification of this system does not warranty future use beyond the date of the inspection. Any system, old or new, can be hydraulically overloaded as a result of more people moving into the house than were previously occupying the house, improper maintenance and/or heavy usage, tree roots, freezing conditions, surface drainage problems, or the system can simply stop working because of its age. The average life expectancy of a properly maintained septic system is twenty five years.

5. A Compliance Inspection is not meant to be a test or inspection for longevity of the septic system. A Compliance Inspection is strictly for the purpose of determining if the septic system is polluting the environment at the date and time the inspection is performed. This inspection is not intended to determine if the septic system was originally designed or installed to past or present MPCA or Local Unit of Government code requirements.

6. WINTER WORK: Client (person paying for inspection) understands that inspections conducted during winter weather (approximately November 1st through April 1st) are more difficult to perform because of the possible snow cover and ground frost. Septic system components such as tanks, tank covers, drop boxes, drop box covers and soil treatment areas are more difficult to locate because of snow cover and ground frost. Soil borings and locating drain fields are more difficult to perform because of ground frost. L&R Septic LLC will attempt to use the same level of standards when performing winter work as when performing non-winter work. However, the client understands that because of aforementioned considerations, the same level of standards may not be possible.

I have read and agree with the above discalimer sheet. I also agree that liability to L&R Septic LLC is limited to the cost of this inspection.

By signing and dating below, client hereby agrees to indemnify, save, and hold L&R Septic LLC harmless from any claims, causes of action, including legal fees, arising from this compliance inspection and future performance of system tank, drainfield, or components.

I authorize my credit card to be charged for $475 for the fee of the compliance and possibly up to $100 for winter charges.
