We just bought in Nipomo and do not know when the tank was last pumped. What now?

Ask the seller or your agent for any pump invoices first. If there are none, scheduling a pump-out gives you a known starting point and lets the crew note the tank's condition. From there, a 3–5 year reminder works for many South County households.

Do Nipomo's sandy soils matter for my septic system?

Soil type affects how a leach field drains, and South County has a mix of sandier and heavier soils. Regardless of soil, regular pumping keeps solids from reaching the drain field, which is the expensive part to repair. Avoid parking or building over the field area.

Can you combine a pump-out and inspection for a Nipomo sale?

Yes. Many Nipomo sellers and buyers request both so escrow gets a current inspection and a fresh pump record together. Mention your contingency deadline on the form so we can line up timing.
