If you’re preparing to buy a home, you’ll want to have it thoroughly inspected so that you’ll know exactly what you’re getting into with the purchase. However, basic property inspections will likely not go into as much detail on the condition of the septic system on the property as you might like.
A standard home inspection might reveal if the toilets, sinks, and tubs drain normally, but that isn’t always the most reliable information in determining if the septic system is in good condition. You will want to schedule a real estate septic inspection instead. Here are just a few key details you can learn from real estate septic inspections:
- Any need for repairs or replacements: Real estate septic inspections will involve thoroughly inspecting the septic system on your prospective property to identify any warning signs of potential issues or existing damage. That way, you can know whether the system will need any repairs or replacements to prevent any issues. You might even be able to use this information to negotiate a better price or require the seller to have the repairs or replacements done before closing.
- How soon you will need septic pumping: Real estate septic inspections will also tell you how soon you will need to schedule septic pumping to keep the system in top condition. We can also recommend a regular pumping schedule to help you avoid any clogs or backups that could cause major issues for the property.
- Any other information you may need: In addition to providing real estate septic inspections, we take the time to discuss key information with our clients to ensure that they understand how to keep the system in great condition.
