Title 5 Inspection
If you are selling your home, you need to have a valid Title 5 inspection. A Title 5 inspection is valid for two years. It is valid for three years before the sale if you have records proving that your system was pumped annually since the inspection. If weather prevents an inspection at sale or transfer, the inspection must occur as soon as weather permits, but no later than six months after the sale or transfer.
We are licensed Title 5 inspectors for Norwell, Hanover, and Marshfield. Contact us to schedule a Title V inspection.
