Buying a Home on Septic? The Tank Needs to Be Opened to Know What You’re Buying
A house can look perfect during a walkthrough while the septic system tells a completely different story underground.
If you’re buying a Sarasota home with a septic system, looking at the yard or flushing a few toilets will not tell you the condition of the tank or the components inside it.
Opening the tank gives us access to inspect things that simply cannot be evaluated from the surface, including the liquid level, inlet and outlet areas, filter, and visible condition inside the tank.
A septic system can become a major expense after closing. Finding a problem during the inspection gives you information before the property becomes yours.
If you’re purchasing a home on septic, make the septic inspection part of your due diligence.
