Question : Bought a new house…septic tank problems. Warranty expires soon; how do I protect myself?
I called the builder a couple of weeks ago, he sent someone out. The guy said our toilets were overfilling, then draining the excess off into the tank, which was putting too much load on the tank. Sounds like hogwash to me, but I gave it a week. Anyway, I called the builder again since I’m still having problems, but my warranty expires next month. I have nothing in writing to show that I’m having problems in the warranty period–it’s all been between the builder and the guy who installed the tank. To make matters worse, my family and I will be out of the house (and not using the septic tank) for an extended period of time–right before the warranty runs out. Any thoughts?

I would request in writing an extension of the warranty to verify the problems are taken care of.

I don’t agree with the diagnosis. If your toilets were running constantly you would have known it. If they weren’t running constantly you shouldn’t have a problem unless there are 2 dozen of you living in the house.
