Context matters
What the file proves—
and what it doesn’t.
A septic file can confirm what was approved, how the system was designed, and where it was intended to be. It can also reveal useful details about later changes and inspections.
Current condition is not confirmed. The historical file is not a current inspection, engineering opinion, or new approval.
