selling the house, no known (ie. as someone living
in house) problems with septic system. no backups, no
funky odors, etc. everything business as usual ....

potential buyer has septic system inspection done,
inspector doesn't specifically state the system is
damaged - but states there is a lot of sludge in the
tank, and the absorption field stone has liquid
above the stone area (probe holes dug).

question, since there aren't any signs of a problem
(from the perspective of the resident), and the
description of the problem "seems" simple enough.

would simply pumping the tank and "jetting" the
drain pipes "fix" the situation ?

tank is fine,

No its not - but states there is a lot of sludge in the
tank,

house to tank flow is fine,
tank to field is where the bottleneck
appears to be. "D box" was in liquid.

AND -the absorption field stone has liquid
above the stone area (probe holes dug).

i'm thinking just pump tank, jet pipes, and
inspector satisfied ... yes ? no ?

And I'm thinking should of been pumped years ago
And a new leach field
