Inspectors are NOT required to calculate which of the following?

Inspectors are not required to calculate the strength of system components because their primary role is to assess the overall functionality and compliance of the septic system with local regulations rather than to evaluate the structural integrity or engineering specifications of individual components. The focus is typically on whether the components are present, properly installed, and functioning as intended, rather than calculating their strength.

Other information, such as the number of bedrooms in the property, is important because it helps determine the required capacity of the septic system. The distance from the septic tank to the property line is also a critical piece of information needed for compliance with setback regulations. Operating costs for individual components may be relevant for maintenance recommendations but are generally not a requirement for an inspection report. Thus, the emphasis in septic inspections lies more on regulatory compliance and operational efficiency than on the specific strength calculations of components within the system.
