Septic Covers can be in Unusual Home Locations
In the Northeast, we have many RI real estate homes that have sewage disposal systems called: septics, OWTS or wastewater treatment systems. They all have access to these systems, or should, through a cover system. Depending upon when the septic system was installed the septic maintenance person needs to locate. Some are readily accessible with a cover that is seen above ground and others are not. Those are the challenging ones...finding those covers!
Well this one on a home inspection the other day was definitely uniquely place. Here it was under the wooden deck off the side of the house with a trap door in the deck to access it. The home inspector had no problem with access, testing it or removing the cover. So it was nicely hidden but with maintenance septic access in mind.
But it was a first for having a hatch in a deck! So just remember do leave an easy access location for your septic system when you have it done. Love the things we see as real estate agents everyday.
