In some states and counties, it is mandatory to have your septic inspected prior to selling your home. However, even if it isn’t required in your area, there are still a number of reasons why you should invest in a thorough inspection.  Having a detailed report of your system on hand can help your home sell faster with a higher value, because you will be able to assure buyers that everything is in great condition. Additionally, some mortgage companies require septic inspections, and buyers may request one even if it isn’t required. Getting the inspection out of the way early on will help your sale close faster.
