What typically happens
When a home on septic changes hands, buyers, lenders and New Mexico rules may call for the system to be inspected. If the inspection finds problems, repairs or replacement are often negotiated as part of the sale. Your real estate agent can tell you what's required for your transaction.

For buyers
Ask for the system's permit records, pumping history and the age of the tank and field. Find out whether it's conventional or advanced — advanced systems have ongoing service needs.
For sellers
Pumping, adding risers and fixing small problems before listing can make inspections go smoothly. See buying a home on septic.
