When is an inspection required?
A properly functioning water or sewer system and a safe storage tank are important for your home and the surrounding environment. That is why various inspections are required for new construction, renovations, commissioning, or modifications to a system.
With a timely inspection, you not only prevent problems but also ensure that your system complies with applicable laws and regulations. Normec’s inspectors will carefully inspect your system and provide you with an inspection report.
Which inspection do you need?
Depending on your situation, we perform various inspections.
Water inspection
A water inspection verifies that your drinking water system is safely connected and protected against contamination. As part of this, we assess backflow prevention measures and verify that drinking water and rainwater are properly separated.
A water inspection is required, for example, when the system is first put into service, after major modifications to the system, or when a previous failure has been rectified.
Sewer system inspection
A properly installed sewer system helps prevent flooding and environmental problems. During the inspection, we check, among other things, whether wastewater and rainwater are properly separated and whether the various components of the sewer system are connected in accordance with applicable regulations.
A sewer system inspection is often required for new construction, reconstruction, or other situations in which the sewer system is modified.
Inspection of a home heating oil tank
Do you use home heating oil to heat your home? If so, the storage tank must be inspected before it is put into service. Periodic inspections are also required throughout the tank’s service life.
During the inspection, we assess the condition of the tank, check for corrosion, and verify that the corrosion protection is still functioning properly. This helps reduce the risk of leaks and soil contamination.
