Why a Professional Septic Inspection is Non-Negotiable
Purchasing a home is likely the largest investment you’ll ever make. While most buyers focus on the kitchen, bedrooms, and curb appeal, there’s a hidden system beneath your feet that could make or break your homeownership experience – the septic system.
The Hidden Costs of Skipping Septic Inspection…
Replacement Shock:
A failing septic system can cost $15,000-$25,000 to replace. Without a proper inspection, you might inherit this massive expense just months after moving in.
Health and Safety Risks:
Malfunctioning septic systems can contaminate groundwater and create unsanitary conditions around your property, putting your family’s health at risk.
Legal Compliance Issues:
Ohio has specific regulations for septic systems. Non-compliant systems can result in fines and mandatory upgrades at your expense.
