King County

Seattle & King County Public Heath District (KCHD) requires all real properties with an on-site septic system sold within the county to have an inspection done on the entire septic system by a licensed OSM. The inspection must be completed and a King County form filled out and submitted to the County prior to property sale. The form may only be submitted by a licensed company.

As part of the inspection, there is a requirement by King County to see if there is an as-built on file to complete the inspection properly. If an as-built does not exist in the County records then the OSM is required to prepare a drawing as part of the inspection. This mean the inspector will have to spend extra time locating all components and create a drawing to the county standard for submittal.

If the system is a gravity system, the county requires a stress test be performed on all sites. This takes additional time and requires up to 450 gallons of water being put into the drain field area.

For inspection on all septic systems with pumps or electrical components, electricity & water is required to be turned on to perform proper and complete inspections.

FloHawks can help with the entire process from performing the work to completing the entire reporting process as required by the Health District.
