When you're buying a property with a septic system, it's important to have a septic tank inspection done before closing. This will ensure that the system is in good working condition and won't require costly repairs in the near future. If the inspection does uncover any issues, you can negotiate with the seller to have them fixed before closing or adjust the sale price accordingly.
On the other hand, if you're selling a property with a septic system, having a septic tank inspection done before listing can help you identify any potential issues before they become deal-breakers for potential buyers. This can give you the opportunity to make any necessary repairs before listing the property and ensure that the sale process goes smoothly.
But it's not just important to have a septic tank inspection done when you're buying or selling a property. Regular inspections are important for any homeowner with a septic system. Most experts recommend having your septic system inspected every 3-5 years, depending on usage and other factors.
During a septic tank inspection, our team at Relief Services LLC will check the tank for signs of damage or leaks, inspect the drain field for proper function, and check the levels of sludge and scum in the tank. If any issues are identified, we'll provide you with a detailed report and recommendations for repairs or maintenance.
Regular septic tank inspections can help you catch small issues before they become major problems. For example, if we identify that the levels of sludge in your tank are too high, we may recommend that you have the tank pumped to avoid damage to your drain field. If we identify any signs of damage to your tank or drain field, we can recommend repairs before the problem gets worse.
In addition to regular septic tank inspections, there are other steps you can take to ensure that your septic system is working properly. For example, you should be mindful of what you're putting down your drains and toilets. Avoid flushing anything other than human waste and toilet paper, and avoid pouring grease or other harmful substances down your drains.
