Before You Sell a Property with a Septic System
As a real estate professional, you have a vested interest in making sure the property you are listing is in good working condition, including the septic system. A sale that goes wrong because of a failed septic system costs you time, effort, and expense for which you may not be compensated.
To ensure that a new listing has a suitable septic system, we strongly recommend having the septic inspected before the listing contract is signed. If the septic system is not working properly, measures should be undertaken to bring the system up to current code requirements. Problems need to be corrected, not only to make a property saleable but to avoid legal liability under state and federal laws that make hazardous discharges illegal. These laws can carry heavy penalties and violations may lead to costly cleanups.
Soucy’s Septic Services offers home sellers a pre-paid program for all the septic system work necessary, as part of a property sales agreement. This will assure the home buyers and the mortgage lender that the septic system will be properly repaired, in working order, and inspected before the new owners move in.
