You Might Overlook a Septic Inspection Before Buying a Home
At Kamzik Septic Service, we highly recommend that homeowners get a septic inspection before buying a new home. Yes, we know that you have so many concerns right now as you’re looking to buy a new home. Will you find a home in the right neighborhood? Will you find a house in your price range? Can you get a bank loan to buy the home? A septic system operating at its best is probably not one of your concerns. But you should find out if there’s anything wrong with the septic right now.
Sometimes, not getting a septic inspection can be a costly mistake. Kamzik Septic Service provides septic inspections in Cambria, Blair, Indiana, and Somerset counties. Our blog this month answers why you should schedule a thorough check before purchasing a home.
Avoiding a Septic Tank Inspection Can Cost You More in the Future
With the expense of buying a new home in a seller’s market, you might be against a septic inspection. What if you find out later that the new home has a failing septic system? You’ll have to install a new septic tank and more. According to Home Advisor, a complete septic system, including a leach field, tank, and piping, costs $10,000 to $25,000. When you compare that cost range with an affordable check from Kamzik Septic Service, it is an easy choice.
Kamzik Septic Service Provides Thorough Septic Inspections
When Kamzik Septic Service performs a septic inspection, we are thorough. Our technician will locate the septic tank first and then uncover it and the distribution box. Part of our service will be to evaluate the inlet line, septic tank, outlet line, and distribution box. We will water-test the drain lines to evaluate the condition of the septic system. Our technician will report back to the homeowners with the results.
Septic Systems Usually Are Not Part of a Home Inspection
It would be helpful for a septic system to be a part of a general home inspection. Unfortunately, that’s not the case in most instances. Some home inspectors in Cambria, Blair, Indiana, and Somerset counties might flush the toilets or remove the septic tank lid. But that’s not enough. Kamzik Septic Service uses a pump truck to empty septic tanks in order for us to make a thorough check. Our technician can probe into the ground to measure the saturation level.
