Frank Aguirre sees a problem with septic inspections, and he wants to do something about it by forming a citizens lobbying group through his Texas Septic Systems Council (www.texassepticsystemscouncil.com).“The problem is there’s no law, and there’s no standardized procedure,” says Aguirre, who lives in San Antonio where he owns Septic Systems Express.The issue is not with new installations, but with system inspections when properties are sold, he says. In Texas these are called property transfer inspections. In other states, they’re known as point-of-sale or time-of-sale inspections.Onsite professionals are not necessarily the people who do most of these inspections, he says.
