[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4098914, member: 45773"] This is the first place I've bought a home with a septic system where it wasn't a requirement to have the septic pumped before purchase. It was a VA requirement in Colorado and Idaho. Apparently not here...I know some VA "requirements" vary based on local rules. We weren't having any issues but we had it pumped several months ago...probably the first time it's been pumped in many, many years. We also found a low spot in the main sewer line that would've eventually started causing issues so that was fixed. In Colorado it was something almost everyone did every 3 to 5 years or so. It's certainly not going to hurt anything to have it pumped and inspected. And if there's nothing wrong you know you're good to go for many more years. [/QUOTE]
