Can I sue a septic inspection company for an erroneous report?
I purchased a home in 2008. In addition to a home inspection, I had a separate septic inspection. During a routine maintenance pumping 3 years later, it was discovered that I do not have a drainage pipe, distribution field or leach field. There is an inlet pipe and baffle. My inspection report clearly notes inlet and outlet baffles, distribution field (gravel) was penetrated as well as leach field and all was found to be satisfactory. How this can be that I was given a passing report on components of a system that do not even exist?? I have a pipe and inlet baffle going into a septic tank but nothing else. The water has just been going directly into the ground through a hole in the other side of the tank since 1958!
