Septic Inspection Before Buying
Septic inspection planning for real estate buyers and sellers.
Why buyers ask
A septic system can be a major property component, especially outside municipal sewer service. Buyers often want to understand system condition before closing.
What to gather
Useful details include system age, location, tank access, pumping history, permits, inspection deadlines, and known symptoms.
Seller preparation
Sellers can reduce friction by gathering records, marking access points, and explaining any recent service.
