“The Cash Offer Company”
If your septic system just failed or worse, is backing up into your home you’re likely panicking. Septic repairs can cost $10,000 or more in Richmond VA, and many buyers won’t even consider a home with system issues.
But here’s what you need to know: you can still sell your house. And in many cases, you can do it without replacing the system.
What Happens When a Septic System Fails?
When a septic system fails, it means wastewater is no longer being properly processed. Signs include:
- Wet or soggy areas in the yard
- Slow-draining sinks and toilets
- Strong sewage odors
- Backup inside the house
In Richmond, these problems can trigger code violations, especially in suburban areas like Bon Air or Southside.
Will a Failed Septic System Stop a Sale?
If you’re listing with a Realtor and going the traditional route yes, it probably will.
Most buyers:
- Require inspections
- Use financing (banks won’t lend on septic-failed homes)
- Expect you to make repairs
That’s why many Richmond homeowners choose to sell their house as-is for cash.
