A house I would like to purchase has the septic field located across the asphalt street on a 2nd lot.
The septic tank (replaced in '06) is on the primary property with the house. The condition and age of the septic system from the tank to the end of the field is unknown. The street is a low traffic, two lane, dead end street.
I'm concerned about the pipe running under the street, since it seems the pipe would be subject to additional stress and movement over time.
What concerns should I have about the sewer pipe under the road? What is the proper way to have that part of the system inspected?
Also, would I be correct in assuming that replacing the pipe under the asphalt street would involve tearing up a section of the street, and that cost would be the responsibility of the homeowner?
Thanks in advance!
