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

- 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
