It was fine at time of inspection and we've not had any issues. My question is whether that pump (or whatever it is) needs to be cleaned/maintained, per the post card I received? I guess I could call the company that did the inspection when we bought the house and see what they say. Sorry for the confusion.
Okay. That makes sense. I was wondering what you meant when you said "city septic". Definitely call the inspector. Jay

Thank you!
Depending upon the number of people in the household and the size of the septic tank we decide whether it has to be cleaned. Most of the households on an average require between 2 and 3 years.
