Conventional septic tank/soil absorption systems are the most common type of onsite systems serving individual homes. It is in homeowners' best interests to have their septic systems inspected regularly. Inspections not only protect systems, but also the health of family, neighbors, and entire communities. Malfunctioning onsite systems can contaminate nearby wells and public drinking water sources, and they can pollute local rivers and lakes contaminating and killing aquatic life. Homeowners can be held liable for problems and nuisances associates with failing systems. Regular inspections are needed to uncover problems before they threaten public health and environment.
It is not unusual for lending institutions to require that onsite system inspection be performed with a given time of the sale or transfer of property. For their own protection, consumers should insist on a thorough system inspection before purchasing a home, whether or not it is required by the lending institution. Once the home is purchased, they should maintain detailed and up to date recorded for all system inspection and service visits.
