When it comes time to put your home on the market, there are many things that can stress you out. A lot is riding on the results of this sale, so it’s natural to worry about anything that might negatively affect how potential buyers will view the property. One thing that many people worry will decrease interest is the presence of a septic tank on their property—the fear is that selling a home with a septic system will be too intimidating for buyers who are used to being connected to a centralized sewer grid. However, we at Tampa Septic know that 1 in 5 American homes rely on a septic system for waste disposal, and sales of these properties go off without a hitch all the time.

Unless your system severely damaged, or very old and ill-maintained, it’s unlikely that you’ll have a problem with finding a buyer when you are selling a home with a septic system. For certain types of properties, such as those in rural settings, a private septic system is an expected part of life, as other waste management solutions would be impractical. Both real estate agents and septic companies such as ourselves at Tampa Septic are accustomed to giving buyers the information they need to take care of a septic system, so if an interested party has doubts you can simply send them to us to answer any questions they have.

When it comes to owning or selling a home with a septic system, many people worry more than they have to. Our team at Tampa Septic is always ready to help you take care of your septic system and to help your buyer get ready to take on that responsibility themselves.
