Licensed OWTS Inspectors/Evaluators
It is difficult for the property owner, buyer, or lender to know the condition of an existing onsite system since most components are underground. The help of a licensed inspector can be obtained to check the condition of the system. Individuals are licensed by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to perform private assessments of existing on-site systems. There are two distinct types of assessments performed by these licensed individuals: inspections and evaluations.
An inspection provides a thorough assessment of the condition of an on-site wastewater treatment system and all components. In addition, a Hydraulic Test is conducted to determine whether a soil treatment system can accept normal anticipated wastewater flows. An evaluation reports on the functionality of the tank component(s), observable condition of the soil treatment system, and any signs of past or present system failures.
