Me and my wife looked at a home built in 1997 in the Davisburg area. It has the original septic and well. Septic is in the back of the home and well is located in the front. At 22/23 years old how much longer should I expect this to last? Is there anyway to get a rough idea of average cost on a removal and replace of a tank and field? I will have a company come out that specializes in septic tank inspection and service, but wanted to hear from some peoples personal experience. The house is up on a pretty good hill. However as the property goes around the sides of the house it slopes down to allow for the walkout basement. At the bottom of this is where the septic tank is located in a kind of valley. Seems kind of odd to me. I will see if I can get a picture to load. Is there any drawback to a septic feild? Will it regularly seep up through my lawn with wastewater? I know nothing about them. We like the house a lot, but it is a very large investment. I just want to avoid thousands in repair immediately, and a torn up property, or less then ideal backyard conditions with standing water or water seeping up.Thanks for any help.
