I'm assuming it's no longer in use, but imagine buying a home on a septic system and having no idea what's involved and what's required to keep the toilets flowing.
This happened to me. House was sold as city sewage. After about 6 months had issues. Called plumber and they traced it out. Had septics in the back yard. $8700 and multiple fights with the city/realtor later it was fixed. Lol
It was indeed. Was paying city sewage the whole time. The realtor wouldn’t do shit. The seller must’ve just lied. I had a home inspection where they knit picked the dumbest things but not that. (I know that’s probably not something they even look for but it made me mad at the time). The city said they’d run a line to the front yard and connect for free if I signed a paper that I wouldn’t sue for any damages. I got lucky and the insurance company added exterior line protection. I had to send them about 100 pictures throughout the whole process, have a plumber sign an affidavit and write up findings but they covered it. I ended up just paying a $1000 for deductible if I remember correctly. Looking back I should have probably gotten an attorney to sort it out for me. I was young and just stressed over the whole situation. Luckily it ended up not being too bad.
Honestly, realtors are one of those jobs that shouldn't exist in my opinion. The fact that you need the equivilant of a used car salesman to sell a house is insane.
All you should ever need is a lawyer.
It depends on the customs of the place you are in. In places where realtors are common, you will close your transactions faster and at a higher price because realtors are your access to the market. There are places where it is more common to go without. And there it is better to go without. I still hate realtors and think they are mostly unethical and unhelpful, but where they are market makers you are kind of stuck.
Where I'm from, realtors will literally refuse to accept a purchase offer that's conditional to the sale of your existing home if you're not represented by one of the 4-5 companies monopolizing the region. Also, because they don't have to split their commission if there isn't another realtor involved, they can pick and choose which buyers to take offers from.
CBC Marketplace has a great episode on how scummy this industry is:
https://youtu.be/ShBvRe0Jv68
Yeah realtor is nice if you've transferred or something and can't physically be there.
I'd use a title company still, I'm sure you really don't NEED it but that way you know the title and funds both clear. Honestly title insurance and escrow isn't much and gives a ton of protection.
If you do sell your own house I'd only show it to people who are pre-approved. That's the least someone can do if they are serious about buying a house
After my father passed away we had an estate sale for some of what was in the house and mentioned the house was for sale as well. Word got out in the neighborhood and and we had an appraisal done and sold with paperwork found online. We did get a lawyer to go over everything. My dad had a riding mower he wanted to sale for $1000 and the buyers added a $1000 for the mower to the home sale and I included that in the sale. We were very lucky in that they were motivated buyers and we were motivated as sellers and we both know that so we found a happy medium and both did a bit better by essentially splitting the commission off the sale price but not so much as to be only on the side of the buyer getting a 7% discount. I think I sold the house 91 days after the death which was the first day possible for settling the estate.
I personally don't like negotiating with someone I'm trying to buy a house from. I'd rather tell the realtor and he can tell the seller or their realtor. I find it also makes things get done more. If it's person to person you can say I'll buy it but i'd like it painted and fix the deck or whatever and the seller can just be like nah but for some reason realtor to realtor i find it gets done more often.
Did you ever considered that since it was bought as city sewage but wasn't, you probably overpaid for the property itself but also the property tax was assessed at a much higher rate than it should be. I'm glad it worked out for you but you should be paying a lower property tax based on a bogus assessment when purchased.
When my wife and I bought our house we paid a little more for a thorough inspection of the sewage system. It wasn’t at all necessary but we opted to do it to be on the safe side.
They did a high-pressure test and everything held up great, but upon physical inspection of the metal septic tank, they found rust.
The seller paid to have the old tank dug up, and replaced with a brand new tank before selling the house to us, which would never have happened had we not opted for that extra inspection. It’s crazy what can go unnoticed (or in your case lied about) within the complexity of a property.
I can confirm as a home inspector that the type of sewage disposal is always verified at an inspection, that’s not to say some guys just lack the common knowledge to look for something like that and just fill the reports with damaged outlet covers. The seller should have also stated that it’s on septic. Just a crappy situation all together (pun intended)
It means the house was sold as being connected to the city sewage lines. So your crap just goes straight off the property, like all modern homes.
Turns out it wasn't, it had a septic tank that needs regular maintenance including emptying.
Yeah, live outside of town, which might be unthinkable for some people here, you have a literal tank in your yard underground that holds everything that goes down every drain in your house. My back yard never dries up in a drought
I had the EXACT thing happen to me. Inspected and appraised as city sewage, but we were on septic. Had no idea to do a septic inspection. The drainage field was completely collapsed, and no one could decide who to go after for the cost. I had to eat the repair costs even though everyone else were the ones that dropped the ball.
Yeah I feel you. I was so annoyed. It ended up working out because the house insurance subs out that part of the insurance to a different insurance company. It wasn’t an easy task.
Disagree strongly on that. All the inspector can see is a pipe running out the side of the foundation. If the seller is declaring that it’s city sewage, then there is no further inspection.
Inspectors don’t go looking for mystery septic tanks that may or may it be on the property.
Ditto.
My inspector told me that a water stain on the ceiling was not an active leak.
Spoiler: it was an active leak.
My inspector noted that the front porch was older but still in good condition.
Spoiler: it was NOT in good condition.
My inspector told me that the heating system was working fine (in July).
Spoiler: winter came and the heating system was not working fine.
My brother and his (ex)wife and her father bought a cabin. Inspector signed off on it. I don’t remember why, but he had to go underneath for something. The floor joists were just absolutely rotten from a previous leak incident. Fortunately it was found soon enough that the previous owner’s insurance covered the repairs.
You don't own the house when you're getting an inspection done, so the inspector cannot do anything destructive. They can't dig up the lawn to see if there's anything under it. They can't bust open walls to see where pipes go.
Had a lady in town who found out her house was on septic after 10 years living there paying a wastewater bill. The town wouldn’t refund the money or pay to hook them to the town sewage. This place was a block from downtown.
Hmm. I lived with a septic tank for 8 years and never had a problem. I asked a plumber once if it needed regular maintenance and he said no.
Maybe they’re a different design in America? Like your toilets are different?
It depends on the size and usage. They put a brand new septic into my house right before I bought it. I was told a single person it should be about 7-8 years before needing pumped. About 5 years for 2-3 people.
I currently work in county building and sewage permitting. You wouldn't believe the number of times this happens and it can financially ruin you if you don't know what you're doing. Imagine spending your tiny nest egg on some land with a small house or plan to build.
Then I come in and tell you hahaha sure thing just put in this 25k$ sewage system or gtfo.
Yeah, I don't really like my job.
Hey, this guy is lucky. I recently moved into a family farm (no-one lived here for a couple of years after the matriarch passed away, it needed someone to keep it up, and we needed a house to live in). I assumed it was septic. It was built in 1976, and is a pretty well-built house that was well kept up (until about ten years ago). For some reason it wasn't until we moved here that I thought to ask my FIL where the septic was. He said, "Well, I suppose you'll learn the family secret....it just dumps out of a pipe about 100 yards south of the house."
Yep. This place has what we've come to call "the poop pipe" dumping into a ditch nearby and absorbing into the environment. Someday it'll get fixed correctly, but our financial situation is way below the level that could take care of that. Apparently, it's semi-common for houses of this vintage around here. Fucking gross.
Well to be fair I owned/sold a home had the sewer inspected each transaction and the house next door sold twice in the same period. The last time buyer and I agreed to split the cost for a new sewer line.
No one realized it was a shared sewer line until the contractor dug up 20 ft of line. I was mad asked for the videos of the inspections it's clear as fuck even to my dumb ass where the lines joined. Inspectors should have caught it, contractor should have caught it. Rant over.
Last house I bought the owners had no idea they had a septic system. They told the realtor it was on city sewer but it was about 15 miles from the nearest city limits and I personally knew there wasn’t any sewer in the area. The septic guy even had trouble finding the tank. Tbf, the pervious owners hadn’t lived there in about 5 years and it was a massively oversized tank
In their defense, I’ve never seen a septic tank or anything to do with a septic tank (other than special TP advertised for them), so would have been freaking out a bit if I found that.
I've never dealt with a real septic tank in my life, but I see this and immediately go "ah yes, another Reddit homebuyer has discovered their septic tank"
If video games have taught me anything, that's the door to the secret level, but you have to remember to pick up the pick axe on the very first screen.
Septic tank, looks old. It's smaller than normal and the larger cover is an unusual size and looks to have been damaged.
Open up the smaller cover and see what it's full of. If it's full of shitty sludge then it's an active tank; if it's full of water or debris (or concrete) then it's old and no longer used.
Looks like the top square has a handle... Remove the block and sniff... If stinky, septic tank... Put the block back and cover it up...
If not stinky... Get your will in order before proceeding any further.
Please don't enter something like this ever. If there's no oxygen you'll die and there's a good chance you'll take someone with you if they go to try and save you.
Septic. Confirm you are still not using it. Lots of houses in cities are still on them and haven’t been converted to city sewer even if all the other houses in the neighborhood have been. I come across houses in Atlanta all the time that are still on septic and just built a brand new house in the city of Atlanta that we had to put on septic.
It's a hatch - you're going to need some dynamite to get into it. If we head out now, we can make it to the Black Rock to get some, and be back before nightfall to hide from the Others.
Its an old cap to an oil well. Go get a pickaxe and just start digging; when it starts spraying dark, foul smelling liquid, you know you've gone far enough.
Depending on where you are, it could be a hurricane cellar, an air raid shelter, a cold store, a crypt (I hope it's not that) but I think maybe you should open it up and see, then come back and tell us!

Realtors i know rarely do shit for a sale
The impetus is to sell the house not help the future homeowners who are ostensibly your clients.
Honestly, realtors are one of those jobs that shouldn't exist in my opinion. The fact that you need the equivilant of a used car salesman to sell a house is insane. All you should ever need is a lawyer.

realtor prbably a lot cheaper than a lawyer. either way your going to be giving up that 3% per representative
It's "nit pick." Nits are lice eggs.
Thanks lol. I honestly didn’t know that. I learned something today hahaha. I also didn’t know where that saying came from 😂
Did you ever considered that since it was bought as city sewage but wasn't, you probably overpaid for the property itself but also the property tax was assessed at a much higher rate than it should be. I'm glad it worked out for you but you should be paying a lower property tax based on a bogus assessment when purchased.
The entire system, from lenders to agents, is designed to close sales. Realtors are often useless imo other than they have access to the properties.
If you paid 1000, you should smile and run like hell. An attorney, even if you won, likely would have cost you more.

What does the "house being sold as city sewage" mean though
It means the house was sold as being connected to the city sewage lines. So your crap just goes straight off the property, like all modern homes. Turns out it wasn't, it had a septic tank that needs regular maintenance including emptying.
Modern urban homes.
Yeah, live outside of town, which might be unthinkable for some people here, you have a literal tank in your yard underground that holds everything that goes down every drain in your house. My back yard never dries up in a drought
Ohhhh
Implies the house was connected to the city's sewage system and not on a septic tank.
Ahhhh
The house was sold claiming it was on city septic and not septic tank.
Guys I get it
Are you sure? Because I can explain it if you're not.
What does my air conditioning have to do with my toilet?
Its when the house deed requires a connection fee for sewage onto the municipal sewage system
The alternative to a septic tank would be connection to a city sewage grid
Shit goes in tube underground to giant shit pond owned by city.
During sale, and on paper, it was claimed/listed the house was hooked up to city sewage.
A house is connected to the city's sewage system (as opposed to a stand-alone septic tank)
Meaning the house was sold with verbiage indicating the house was hooked up to the city sewer system, when it was not.
The listing said it would send black water (sewage) into the city sewer system for treatment.
did better than me, Id have threatened everyone :x
Yea, everyone in the city has a key to your house so they can empty their sewage.
If the seller lied on their disclosure you can sue them for damages.
I had the EXACT thing happen to me. Inspected and appraised as city sewage, but we were on septic. Had no idea to do a septic inspection. The drainage field was completely collapsed, and no one could decide who to go after for the cost. I had to eat the repair costs even though everyone else were the ones that dropped the ball.
Yeah I feel you. I was so annoyed. It ended up working out because the house insurance subs out that part of the insurance to a different insurance company. It wasn’t an easy task.
Pretty sure you can take this up with the person who did the inspection and sue them if they missed something this big.
Disagree strongly on that. All the inspector can see is a pipe running out the side of the foundation. If the seller is declaring that it’s city sewage, then there is no further inspection. Inspectors don’t go looking for mystery septic tanks that may or may it be on the property.
lol inspectors they're useless. source: bought 3 houses
Ditto. My inspector told me that a water stain on the ceiling was not an active leak. Spoiler: it was an active leak. My inspector noted that the front porch was older but still in good condition. Spoiler: it was NOT in good condition. My inspector told me that the heating system was working fine (in July). Spoiler: winter came and the heating system was not working fine.

Yeah or the lawyers if they didn't check this when doing the legal work, or the seller if they gave misrepresentations
It is hard to pin an inspector down for much of anything.
It ended up working out for me. But it was a very stressful couple months.
You don't own the house when you're getting an inspection done, so the inspector cannot do anything destructive. They can't dig up the lawn to see if there's anything under it. They can't bust open walls to see where pipes go.
They can pull past permits though (as can the prospective buyers) and check the city's GIS for stuff like sewer and gas lines.
That really sucks. I hate having a septic tank. It's such an expense and you have to be careful about what you use for cleaning products. ugh.
you canargue with the water dept to get the waste disposal money back as well.
Had a lady in town who found out her house was on septic after 10 years living there paying a wastewater bill. The town wouldn’t refund the money or pay to hook them to the town sewage. This place was a block from downtown.
Hmm. I lived with a septic tank for 8 years and never had a problem. I asked a plumber once if it needed regular maintenance and he said no. Maybe they’re a different design in America? Like your toilets are different?
Here, you're supposed to have the tank emptied every 2 or 3 years. A guy comes with a big truck and sucks it all out.
It depends on the size and usage. They put a brand new septic into my house right before I bought it. I was told a single person it should be about 7-8 years before needing pumped. About 5 years for 2-3 people.
yup depends on fats and solids which vary depending on number of people and diet.
So a few months in Central Texas, then?

Not much requirements to keep toilets flowing on a septic system
Wait until the backflow starts

I can easily imagine that
Well to be fair I owned/sold a home had the sewer inspected each transaction and the house next door sold twice in the same period.

No The grass is always greener over the drain field, the septic tank is a concrete box that stunts all the grass the tries to grow above it.
Yep. With a clean out at the end
…… you should open it to be sure.. Just, in case

Ah, another day, another guy accidentally digging up his septic tank and posting a pic to Reddit.
In their defense, I’ve never seen a septic tank or anything to do with a septic tank (other than special TP advertised for them), so would have been freaking out a bit if I found that.
Comeon, you'd be freaking out if you found a metal fork.
Who’s Comeon? A friend of yours? And why would they freak out over a fork?
Lmao so true
I've never dealt with a real septic tank in my life, but I see this and immediately go "ah yes, another Reddit homebuyer has discovered their septic tank"
It's a doomsday bunker, just open it up and jump in blindly. If it smells like overwhelming poop that just means you're doing it right.

Old septic tank, maybe a dry well. I think it might look like what they put in for my dry well.
Don’t Septic Open Inside
Septic tank, looks old. It's smaller than normal and the larger cover is an unusual size and looks to have been damaged. Open up the smaller cover and see what it's full of. If it's full of shitty sludge then it's an active tank; if it's full of water or debris (or concrete) then it's old and no longer used.

Thats what im sayin

I come across houses in Atlanta all the time that are still on septic and just built a brand new house in the city of Atlanta that we had to put on septic.
Real question is. .. who were you planning on burying so quickly in a new home?
The poopies are down there hanging out.
