If part of the evaluation is a perk test, you don't want to saturate the drainfield before they do it. They would dig a little hole, fill it with water, and see how long it takes to absorb into the soil. Find out what the test involves. May be best to minimize water volume for a while. If you've had the tank pumped out every few years, not over done the water volume, and not saturated it with grease, it should be OK.



Spot on info there. I just went thru this a couple of years ago in New York. You not only have to pump out the tank (& show proof its been done regularly) but you have to pay the pump company to do an inspection once the tanks empty & sign a paper to that effect. At least, that's how it works in NY. The pumping company should be very familiar with this proceedure - it's done all the time. Talk to your realtor. She'll know exactly what needs to be done.
