A septic inspection before buying a home is often a good idea, especially if the system's age or maintenance history is unknown. Inspectors typically check the tank, drain field, and components for signs of failure. Local rules and requirements can vary, so check with the relevant local authority or a qualified professional in Columbus to confirm what is needed for your purchase.
Start by asking about experience with systems like yours and whether they handle pumping, inspections, and repairs. Get a written estimate that details the work, and ask where waste will be disposed of. Confirm they carry insurance.
