Anyone know the proper procedure for certifying a septic system?
I sold my house and called the same company that did the very two years ago. I dug up the one lid that they exposed last time to have it ready. Guy showed up and said he needed the other lid dug up as well. I told him I would have dug it but they didn't last time so I didn't this time. He said that they should have and that they didn't test it proper last time. Anyway he pops the lid off and puts my hose in the outlet tee, ran water for about ten seconds and said that he saw some water come back so he is going to fail the system and that I need new leach lines. I then told him it was his company that passed it two years ago saying it was great, he backpeddled a little and then said it must be roots from my trees even though he has no idea where my leach lines are. I am not upset if it fails but I'm sure that is not proper procedure and I'm also a little ticked because he used my hose inside the sewer pipe.
