Minnesota Septic System Compliance Inspections
Although often overlooked, a Residential Septic System is one of the most important features of a Corcoran, MN home. Every property that is not connected to a city sewer system must be serviced by an Individual Sewage Treatment System (ISTS). The type of septic system used for each property is determined by aspects such as Soil Type, Proximity to Water and Local Government Regulations. A Septic Compliance Inspection is used to determine if a septic system meets all requirements of MN state and local guidelines. Septic System Compliance Inspections are performed by a MN Licensed Septic Contractor like owner, Brad Krotzer of Custom Septic, Inc. (CSI).
