Septic Systems
So, you're considering buying or building a house that is located outside of the city or town limits. Or perhaps you've already purchased a home with a septic system and need to find out what it's all. Let's cover the facts.
When you're deciding what to offer on your dream home in the country, be sure to check out the septic system! You can call South West Septic to schedule an evaluation. If you need to make an offer without a septic evaluation, we recommend the following -
Flush the toilet. If the toilet flushes slowly, there may be a septic problem.
Ask the agent to show you where the drain field is located. Then take a deep breath. If it smells, there may be a septic problem.
You don't want to make an offer for the property and find out later that the septic system is failing. If you suspect that the septic system is failing, and still want to purchase the house, factor the cost of a replacement septic system into your offer.
Septic systems aren't rocket science but it's important to understand how to care for them before you have a problem. Why? Because resolving a problem can be very expensive and stinky. Whether you're looking to install a new system or need to maintain an existing system, we'll give you the straight....story - short and simple.
