In the process of buying a home and have concerns with the septic system.
Septic system:
Septic system:
- Original from 1973
- Croc style
- Cast iron going in, PVC from house in
- Passed a heavy load test
- Tank was recently pumped dry so had to fill it. Inspector said he could see normal water level and looks like it's never backed up
- Tanked looked to go about 5 feet down, said that it is a large tank, which probably helped the load test
- Single chamber
- Not sure on clay/sand or how much material around croc
- Rough estimate on cost if it fails down the road?
- 4 bedroom 2.5 bath tri-level
- Is there concerns of soil quality if there’s planter boxes 50-100 yards away?
- Should we be concerned buying a house with this type of system?
