When the inspection turns something up, and closing is on a clock.
Most of what turns up on a transfer inspection is fixable, and much of it is fixable quickly. Broken or missing baffles, damaged lids, missing risers, a failed pump, a cracked line between house and tank, roots in the inlet. These are ordinary repairs with ordinary prices, and they do not stop a sale as long as somebody starts on them promptly.
The serious end of the scale is a failed disposal field. That is a bigger job, often requires a permit and a site evaluation, and takes real time. It is also the reason we push so hard on scheduling the inspection early, because a field replacement discovered late is the one outcome that genuinely threatens a closing date.
Work that alters the system, as opposed to maintaining it, generally requires authorization from the regulating authority before it is done. In Pima County that is the county. We will tell you plainly which category your repair falls into, because the answer determines the timeline more than the work itself does.
Off the inspection report, in writing, with the scope described in language your buyer's agent can read. Vague repair estimates are how escrow arguments start. If we cannot determine scope without further investigation, such as excavating to confirm a field's condition, we will say that rather than guessing high to cover ourselves.
