If you live in Comal County Texas this site can be helpful if you have a septic system or will puchase a home with a septic system.
Without regular pumping of the septic tank, the system can overflow. Sometimes overflow can lead back to the house, where your toilets and drains belch what's supposed to be in the septic tank.
Overflow can also lead to a sudden deluge of unprocessed waste flooding the drain field. When this happens, water can seep above ground, which leads to a flooded yard and run-off into nearby water bodies like creeks and rivers. Below ground, this flood can cause further damage, tainting groundwater. Together, these intrusions of waste can contaminate the water people use and drink. The waste introduced into the water supply can carry harmful bacteria and disease. (Additional information can be acquired from CCEO (http://www.cceo.org/)

This was a great read. We really dont have any septic tanks here in the southern Ca area. However I can see how this information will be insightful for inspector who encounter them.
Keep the tips and much needed information coming. I will be back.

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

Sweet web site, I had not noticed homeinspector-homeinspection.blogspot.com before during my searches!
Carry on the fantastic work!
Awesome post Jeff! You guys are doing awesome work!
The above post is very helpful. Every septic tank should undergo Septic Tank Cleaning or pumping atleast once in two to three years. If the septic tank size is huge, it can be pumped for every four to five years.
