What changes in Fruit Cove
A Fruit Cove house marketed with five bedrooms on a tank permitted for three fails inspection, and the replacement that follows is sized to the house as sold: a larger tank, sometimes a larger field, permitted through the county health department and inspected before backfill. Call Flamingo schedules it against the closing date and files the record the lender will ask for.
The setback from the well on the same lot is measured, because the new tank is held to 75 feet and the old one may not have been.
How the job runs
How a tank is replaced
The failed tank is pumped and inspected so the replacement is quoted from what is seen. The permit is filed with the county environmental health office, with the new tank sized to the bedroom count. The drain field is inspected honestly before the new tank is connected to it. The new tank, precast concrete or polyethylene depending on access and groundwater, is set level with risers to grade and inlet and outlet connected. The old tank is pumped, crushed and filled, or removed. The county inspects before backfill and the record is closed. Financing through Hearth is available.
Straight answers
Septic Tank Replacement questions from Fruit Cove
Why does a sale trigger a replacement?
The design flow is checked against the bedroom count, and a house that grew needs a bigger system.
Can it be done before closing?
Usually, if it is booked when the inspection finds it rather than the week of closing.
