Private Well and Septic System Inspections
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), more than one in five U.S. households relies on septic systems and more than 15 million rely on private wells for drinking water. A malfunctioning well or septic system not only poses a health risk to your family, but can also be expensive to repair or replace.
Sometimes, finding out a home has a well and septic system can make prospective buyers nervous because they’re expensive if problems arise. However, you can protect yourself today by ensuring that you have a professional inspection conducted by someone with the knowledge to detect any issues and repair them correctly before you enter any agreements.
What are Septic Systems and Wells?
Home buyers deciding between a rural home setting and city living oftentimes have to consider where their water utilities will originate from. In the simplest terms to define it, septic systems are for waste and wells are for water source. It is really that simple, and yet exceedingly important when you are considering buying a home.
It’s no secret that problems with wells and septic systems can result in inconvenience, danger, and expenses. You must know the actual state of them before purchase. One would not want to be stuck with a beautiful property but a failing septic and well. With prior knowledge, you can reduce or avoid these common problems.
