Massachusetts Title V regulations require that a property with a septic system be inspected before a home is sold. This inspection is valid for two years or for three years if you have records proving that your system was pumped annually since the inspection. In addition an inspection is necessary if you plan to start a construction project needing building permits.
Even if you are not planning to sell your property, regular inspections ensure that your system works correctly. It also gives an accurate reading of the overall life expectancy of your system. There are many reasons that your tank may fail. The most common, however, is the lack of proper maintenance.
In addition regular inspections help protect our water resources. Typical pollutants in household wastewater are nitrogen, phosphorus, and disease-causing bacteria and viruses. If a septic system is working properly, it will effectively remove most of these pollutants. Otherwise you risk polluting your well or a nearby pond.
