Why It's Necessary to Have a Septic Inspection in NJ When Purchasing a Home

Feb. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- (Midland Park, New Jersey) –  Problems with a septic system can be one of the most expensive repairs that a homeowner will face, with costs almost certain to be in four figure territory, and likely to top out over $10,000 if significant work is done with the septic tank.

Despite this, many prospective homeowners don’t even consider the septic system that they’ll be living with for as long as they own their new home. Classic Septic Inspections in NJ recommends that homebuyers get the septic system professionally inspected for any house on which they’re making an offer.

The same way the way that you have an independent mechanic look at used car before you buy it, you should have your potential septic system checked out by the professionals. Just because the toilet flushes and the realtor says it’s okay doesn’t mean that there’s not a costly problem buried in your new backyard. Septic systems are complex and have a number of parts which may be years or even decades old. Add in the fact that the majority of the system is situated in the walls and underground, and it’s not hard for there to be a problem that’s less than obvious.

In addition to identifying potential problems, a NJ septic inspection will also let you know whether the septic system meets your usage needs, was properly maintained, runs efficiently, is up to local code, and if it currently needs pumping, a routine maintenance procedure that costs several hundred dollars. Septic inspectors will find leaks, survey the drainage area for possible flood issues, and advise you on the potential lifespan of your system. They give you the information you need make an educated decision about one of the key components of your new home. It’s standard practice to have a contractor check out the construction and wiring on your potential house, so why not exercise the same due diligence on a system that you’ll be using daily?
