While it’s an integral part of your home, you likely don’t spend a lot of time thinking about your septic system. As long as it’s working without any major problems, it’s out of sight, out of mind.
But you should be thinking about septic tank inspections in a few situations, since they can save you from a lot of stress and expensive repair bills in the future.
Real Estate Inspections
If you’re moving to a new property, you should absolutely include septic tank inspections in your list of things to have evaluated before you sign any paperwork. Septic tank problems may not be immediately obvious, but a malfunctioning septic tank can lead to expensive repairs after you move in.
Of course, the same principle applies to real estate professionals. Having valid proof of septic tank inspections on properties before listing them on the market can give potential buyers peace of mind and save time in the signing process.
Regular Maintenance
Of course, you should also consider septic tank inspections a regular part of your home maintenance routine. It’s easy to miss problems with your septic system that could turn serious. Having septic tank inspections once every three to five years is a good rule to ensure growing problems aren’t going unchecked.
Similarly, if you’re having problems with your system, septic tank inspections can help you find both the source and the solutions.
