Inspection

When we looked at the condo at Morningside, the realtor recommended that since our septic system is 46 years old, we should have it inspected. So we did.  Thursday it was pumped out and Friday it was inspected. The inspection involves running a camera down the various pipes. It involved some digging - there is a plug on the septic tank that opens up access to the leach field. It didn't know about that. Turns out our septic tank empties into a drywell, and that opens into four leach field pipes. I didn't know that either. Everything looks good! We're supposed to get a written report. I guess it was worth it - the combined cost of pumping and inspecting was $881!  Yikes !
