Home Inspection Series: Water & Septic



Home Inspection Series Continues: Water Testing and Septic

Here Rob explains what he looks for in water testing and septic… 

Water testing including wells is for water purity – checks for bacteria in the well or water system in the home. 

  • Wells get natural bacteria – important to check water purity – Best for your body to have clean 
  • How do we test the water system?
    • We run water for 10-15 mins to get pure water
    • Sterilize faucet – flame from lighter
    • Water put into seal sterilized bottle 
    • Send to lab
  • Septic System
    • Age of home can affect septic pipes
    • The company that pumps the system certifies the tank and looks to make sure the tank/system is working properly 
    • What do we look for? 
      • Can’t see pipes – So we look for a wet soggy yard, which may give us an indication that the system may be failing

Home Inspection Series: Electrical

Home Inspection Series Continues…. Today’s topic: Electrical

Home Inspection Series: Electrical ⚡️

  • What do we look for during a home inspection for electrical?
    • We look for age and type of system at home. 
    • The older the home, the more steps we have to look at to make sure the system is updated to modern times. 
    • We look to see how the system was worked on, modified, changed, and does it follow the current standards. 
    • Plugs, Switches, how they are all secured, wiring/routing hooked up properly, how does it look installed (neat or messy), damage of any wires, any open connections, breaker/fuses present (breakers – warm to touch, overloading, etc.) 
    • Electrical systems are complex👉🏻👉🏻LOOK at the system as a whole
