Maintaining And Repairing Septic Systems

Hey there, I'm Frannie VanDiers. While growing up at my grandparent's house, we had to pay close attention to waste flushed down the toilet. When the septic system was not working as expected, we had to place all of the toilet paper in a bin, instead of flushing it down the pipes. Furthermore, we were never allowed to flush anything but bodily waste down the toilet. Doing otherwise would cause a clog that was costly and time consuming to remove. Furthermore, when the septic system was clogged, we were instantly displaced and had to stay elsewhere for the time being. I want to explore septic maintenance and repair processes to help people keep their system running right. My site will explore the benefits of staying on septic instead of hooking to the sewer.

The septic tank greatly influences the integrity and cleanliness of your property. You must be confident in its function and condition before you make any changes to or sell your home. 

To ensure that the septic tank is an asset that you can safely transfer ownership or work with, you need to have it inspected. You can get the title five inspections done on your property by knowing what circumstances call for them.

1. Selling Your Home

If you plan on selling your home, you need to have its septic tank inspected first. This inspection must be completed before you finalize the transaction between you and the buyer. The inspector must sign off that the septic tank is intact, useful, and safe to use.

Depending on where you live, you may not be able to sell your house legally without this inspection being done. If you sell the property without the inspection being completed, you could be forced to void the sale or be liable for any damages that the septic tank causes after you close the deal with the buyer.

2. Inheriting a Home

You also must have title five inspections done if you expect to inherit a home. Before the inheritance can legally be transferred to you, you must have the septic tank inspected. The person who is bequeathing the home to you can have this inspection done before the property is signed over to you. They may also stipulate in the will that you must have the inspection done if you wish to inherit and occupy the home. Regardless, the state will require that you have this inspection performed before you can legally take over the house and move into it. 

3/ Adding onto the Home

Finally, if you plan on adding to your home by building a bathroom, kitchen, or another area that will use the septic tank, you must have the title five inspections done on your house. The inspection will reveal whether or not the septic tank is capable of handling the additional work and stress for the new addition. It will also tell you if you need to invest in a larger or newer septic tank to accommodate the new room that you are building.

These circumstances are a few that call for title five inspections to be done to your home. They ensure your tank is an asset and functions properly. Contact inspection services to learn more.
