Home Sale Septic Inspections
If you are buying a home with a septic system is vitally important to have the tank and leach field inspected prior to purchase in order to help avoid costly repairs. The average lifespan of a septic system is approximately 30 years, although serious issues can arise much sooner than that. A newly-installed septic system can fail within a few years if there has been improper maintenance or lack of care taken in regards to the septic system (i.e. disposal of cooking grease down the kitchen sink, prolonged water leaks from a toilet or faucet, excessive flushing of wet wipes and feminine hygiene products, vehicles or heavy equipment being driven over the tank or leach field, etc.).
