Are you planning to buy a new home with a septic system in Lake Stevens? Purchasing a property is both exciting and daunting. It’s important to uncover any unseen issues before making an offer. There are few areas of a property harder to see than the septic tank and piping. While it’s a good idea to have a septic professional perform an inspection, there are also several septic system questions you should ask the seller.
Where is the system located?
If you don’t know where your septic tank is located, you may end up landscaping over the area. When it’s time to have the tank drained your technician will have to dig up the landscaping to find it. Always know where your tank and drainfield are located before finalizing the purchase.
Do you have a written service history?
Ideally, the sellers will have written documentation on the septic system’s service history. If they don’t have any documentation, ask who has been doing the servicing. The company will probably have a record you can copy.
When was the tank pumped last?
It’s also important to know when the tank was last pumped. Asking this question may encourage sellers to have the septic system serviced right away. Some buyers prefer to have their own professional perform the examination and septic tank pumping themselves.
