I'm thinking of buying a home that has a septic system. What should I know?

You should know that a septic system is a wastewater treatment system used in homes that does not connect to a municipal sewer system. It consists of a septic tank, which collects waste from the home and allows it to settle before pumping it out into a drain field for disposal. The size of your septic tank will determine how often you need to pump it out. Additionally, if the tank fills up too quickly or too slowly, this can cause problems with the system.
