Purchasing a home with Septic / Well or Solid Fuel Systems, it is very important to have these systems professionally inspected. Every EHI Rural Property Inspection can include Septic / Well and WETT Inspections.
When properly installed and maintained, these very important systems should provide years of trouble-free, low-cost service. Annual inspections are recommended, when you understand these systems you can perform your own maintenance inspections, Let me show you how.

Conducting an EHI WETT Level 1 Inspection:
Level-1 Inspection — “Readily Accessible” Readily Accessible is defined as quickly or easily reached for inspection. A level-1 inspection does not require the use of special tools for the opening or removal of any panel, door, covering, or system components; nor (unless at the discretion of the inspector and client) would it require the use of ladders. An inspector should be able to inspect any moveable components of the fireplace, appliance or venting system that are readily accessible. Examples would be components utilized during normal operation or visual inspection by the user of the system, such as readily accessible loading doors, primary combustion chamber, ashpan doors, cleanout doors, dampers, air controls, etc.
Equipment used: HD Camera / Infrared Camera / HD Flashlights / Electrical Testers / Aerial Camera, tape measure, light, mirror, camera, magnet, pole camera and/or other basic tools should comprise (but are not limited to) the typical tools required to perform for this level of inspection
