Someone finally made an offer and the house is under contract! As luck would have it, I have gotten about 10 calls on the house since then, but…just glad to see maybe the whole world had not gone mad.

I’ve found many septic/plumbing companies will charge $100 or so to write a letter, the letter is not what you need, instead I negotiate an inspection and/or clean out for my buyers or proof of when last septic service was performed. This of course can be limited with REO and foreclosure negotiations.

Sorry to be just responding! A good reputable septic service can find the system in a heart beat. They will go under the house and see which direction the main sewer line runs (typically downhill side), and form there will poke and prod at the soil with a long metal “T” stick until they locate it. The septic system is a big deal, believe me! Fire your realtor since he/she is obviously not working for you. Hope this is not too late in the response time. JP

We found this post a little too late. We are in the process of buying a home in Aiken and need to get a septic tank inspection, however, our real estate agent doesn’t know where it is and doesn’t seem to think it’s a big deal. How do you find out where your septic tank is located. We’ve never personally dealt with a septic system but I’ve heard horror stories of companies coming out and poking holes in the ground and charging for each hole. Can you help

Joe,
I stumbled upon your blog while doing research on college towns in the South. My husband and I are recently retired and looking into relocating to a more “climate friendly” locale. We currently live 30 miles west of Cleveland, OH. Enough said, right? We’re planning to visit our son in the Aiken, SC area this spring and would like to explore the Athens area as well. If you have any info re ‘must see’ places while we’re in town and/or websites I can check out, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks,
Chris
