I'm purchasing a house and the inspection revealed the the entire septic system was failed. The house is 1989 construction, 4 bedroom, located in Connecticut, and was on the original system. Original system:
-1,250 gal concrete tank
-3 D-boxes
-3 x 60' long and 2 x 15' long leeching fields
The seller is paying for the new system install and from what I can tell from the proposal (attached), they are moving to a pump fed system with plastic tanks. I know very little about septic systems, but this seems like a lower quality solution and I'm assuming we will need to install a generator backup for the pump. New system:
-2 compartment 1,500 gal poly tank
-1,000 gal poly pump chamber
-2 D-boxes
-2 rows 75' long Geomatrix GST 6212 leaching fields
-Liberty 281 effluent pump 2.5 HP
Can anyone comment on if I should be worried about buying the house with this install? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
