An inspection before buying a home is often a good idea because it can reveal the tank's condition, sludge and scum levels, and signs of drain field trouble. A qualified local professional can check the tank, baffles, and lines. Ask what the inspection includes, and check with the relevant local authority for any rules that apply to your purchase.
Before the visit, note the tank location and make sure the lid is accessible, clear of parked cars, and easy to reach. Keep pets and children inside while work is underway. Clear the area around the tank, and tell the contractor about any recent problems, such as slow drains or odors. Confirm the scope and any access needs when you schedule.
Regular pumping, usually every few years, helps prevent solids from reaching the drain field. Use water wisely, spread out laundry loads, and avoid flushing wipes, grease, or harsh chemicals. Watch for slow drains or odors, and keep heavy vehicles off the drain field. Have the system inspected periodically, and ask a qualified local professional about a schedule for your household.
