🚽 Can I Sell a House in Virginia With Septic System Issues?
If your house has a failing septic system, you may feel stuck. Between repair costs, inspections, and buyer concerns, it’s hard to move forward without spending thousands.
But here’s the good news:
You can sell your house in Virginia—even if the septic system doesn’t work.
At The Cash Offer Company, we buy homes as-is, no matter the condition of the plumbing, septic tank, or drain field.
🛠️ Common Septic Issues Sellers Face
We’ve seen it all:
- Tanks that are outdated or too small
- Backups and foul odors in the yard
- Saturated or failed drain fields
- Systems not up to modern code
- Septic inspections that kill a deal
Traditional buyers often walk away when they hear “septic,” especially if it needs repair or hasn’t been pumped in years.
📜 What Virginia Law Says
In Virginia, sellers are required to disclose known material defects—and that includes septic issues. But disclosure doesn’t mean the system has to be fixed.
You can still sell, as long as the buyer is aware of the issue.
Want to verify disclosure rules? You can reference Virginia’s real estate disclosure laws and consult a local real estate attorney if needed.
💡 Should You Repair or Sell As-Is?
Septic repairs can cost $5,000 to $30,000, depending on what’s wrong. That includes:
- Tank replacement
- Drain field repair
- Soil testing and permitting
- New system installation
Most sellers don’t have time—or cash—for that.
That’s why we buy septic-problem homes as-is and handle the mess ourselves after closing.
💵 How We Make the Process Simple
- No agents or MLS listings
- No septic inspection required
- No need to pump, fix, or replace the tank
- Fast cash offer within 24 hours
Whether the house is vacant or still occupied, we’ll make a fair cash offer and close on your timeline.
