Septic Inspection
If you are buying a home with a private septic sewage system, you
should consider having a load and dye test performed as part of your
home inspection service. The test will serve as an indication that the
septic tank, leach field, and plumbing drains are in working order at
the time of the inspection.
Prior to purchase, it makes good sense to have the tank pumped and
the inside of the tank inspected for damage by a professional septic contractor. I think it's a good idea to start
with a 'fresh' tank. Often, you can negotiate with the seller to have them pay for the pumping.
