Question No ****

At least that does not seem to be the problem. Appears to be baby wipes. At least a ton of them. Does anybody have a clue as to how to dissolve or remove. So thick they can not be pump. Actually so thick it appeared to be solid ground and yes it would support someone. Had to take a spud bar to break loose. Any suggestions for the sellers. I am talking about the amount of solids found in a septic tank after inspection.

Thanks for any help

Yeah, yeah, spud bar is the best move...or did you mean a spud wrench, like an Iron Worker would use?

I just went thru a colonoscopy and your client might have as well. I HIGHLY recommend the flushables. They saved my hide and I didn't need any tools afterwards.

Setic inspection. Tank full of solids including a lot of baby wipes that were use instead of toilet paper. Have any useful suggestions?

Recommend regular pumping and not putting anything down the drain that isn't toilet paper, or hasn't been passed through a body first. If what is there won't pump out, recommend that they get a quote for repair and possible replacement of tank. The sellers messed up. They should have known better than to flush other stuff.

Do any of you have an intelligent response or is this a picture of the true mentality of Inter NACHI home inspectors? It is no wonder why most people have a hard time seeing the value of the home inspection industry.
