Sellers with Septics: Don't Pump your Dump!
Home sellers sometimes feel compelled to have their septic system pumped right before the home goes on the market. Read this first.
SELLERS WITH SEPTIC SYSTEMS: Do not pump your septic before you put your home on the market. The buyer's septic inspector WILL NOT be able to get accurate readings of the tank because the water levels will be too low.
A LAST MINUTE SEPTIC PUMP BY A SELLER IS A RED FLAG TO THE BUYER. If you have maintained the system properly, there is no need to take this last minute measure.
This is the one time my advise to anyone selling a home will be to "Hold onto your c**p! Let the inspector do his job (and God bless him for doing it).
If you are a buyer of a home with a septic system, you will want to get it inspected. Your agent should have experience working with a few different and very well qualified inspectors.
Just give me a shout out and I will be happy to provide those references.
