If you are planning to buy or sell a home with a septic system, we at Sauer Septic strongly encourage you to schedule a real estate septic inspection. Our team has been working in the septic industry since 1980, and we can provide the thorough inspection services you need to make sure the home you are looking at has a reliable septic system, or to alert you to any problems with your own system so you can address them before you put your property up for sale.
In this article, our team will go over a few reasons why real estate septic inspections are essential for buyers and sellers.
- Detect Problems Before Buying – Real estate septic inspections are essential for home buyers because they allow you to make an informed decision about whether to buy the property. The last thing you want is to move into a new home only to get hit with major septic problems, so we encourage you to have the septic system inspected first so you can make sure it’s in good condition. Getting the system inspected will also provide key information about its condition and age, which will help you plan future maintenance and repair services.
- Resolve Problems Before Selling – On the other hand, real estate septic inspections are also essential for people selling their homes. Home buyers schedule home inspections as a matter of course before committing to any real estate purchases, and if their inspection reveals septic problems, they are much less likely to go through with the deal. By having your septic system inspected before you put your property on the market, you can take care of any necessary repairs ahead of time, which will help attract buyers and help you get a higher price.
