The New Hampshire Certified Septic System Evaluator
Program has been developed by the Granite State Designers and Installers
Association. The purpose of this voluntary program is to establish a minimum level
of standard evaluation procedures by qualified septic system professionals with the goal
of producing consistent, objective evaluations in New Hampshire.
Why Hire a Certified Septic System Evaluator?
Here in New Hampshire, many unqualified persons are currently conducting septic system
evaluations and may be subjecting property owners and prospective property owners to
costly/unnecessary septic system repairs or replacements and incorrect diagnosis.
This is particularly commonplace during inspections of real estate for possible ownership
transfers. There are no universally accepted industry standards or procedures for
septic system inspections and no rating/classifying conditions of septic systems.
The Granite State Designers and Installers Association, a statewide professional
association established in 1986 comprised of septic system designers, installers and
maintenance personnel, has created in association with the New Hampshire Department of
Environmental Services this Certified Septic System Evaluation Program.
This program ensures that professionals who obtain this designation have a level of
knowledge and experience to maintain the high standards of septic evaluation, enabling the
program to ensure the goal of producing consistent and objective evaluations here in New
Hampshire.
