I'm in the closing phases of purchasing a house with a septic tank. Both the house and the tank are from '88. The tank was pumped right after the seller moved. The seller moved into their mother in laws house after she passed as the house was significantly larger....But that's a whole different story
. Anyways from what I have been reading the only things that should go in the tank is YOU and no rid x or anything of that nature. I have googled to wits end, but, figured I would ask the trusty bitogers to get advice on septic also. The seller has never had issues with the tank and the house is in very immaculate condition. However, this will be the second residence I will have a septic tank at, as the first is the rental I am living in now. I have not lived in the rental but for 1 year and haven't had issues here. Aside from pumping what other maintenance, concerns, or advice do you guys/gals have?
