Not if you have lots of extra money to spend later

The other day there was a septic flurry that got canned. Probably the same group back add sludge.
When purchasing a home, a septic inspection is highly recommended. The money that you pay an inspector could save you thousands in the long term if the septic system is in any point of failure. The inspector can educate you about the system and also point out if the tank needs to be pumped out, which has to be done occasionally after the solids build up. You can use any of these things to your favor during your due diligence period to negotiate a better deal or have the homeowner fix any issues.
We bought a house and did not have the septic system inspected. It was faulty and cost us a lot of $ to fix. Filed a law suit too.
I would definitely have it inspected!!!!
Do you trust someone you don't know to have never dumped paint, grease, oil, bleach, antifreze, or anything else that might damage the system down the drain?
