Septic Inspections: Don’t Pay for Them Twice!
When buying or selling a home with a septic system, the inspection process can be daunting. Who should I call? Can it meet my due diligence timeline? How much will it cost?
Too often, we receive calls from buyers and realtors seeking estimates for recommendations from septic inspection reports they received. These reports frequently include statements like:
- "Contact a qualified professional."
- "Recommend calling a licensed septic installer for repairs."
- "Complete system should be re-evaluated by the Septic Contractor."
- "Further evaluation by a qualified contractor will need to be provided."
- "Septic tank needs to be pumped."
- "Distribution box was not located, excavated, and opened to visually inspect.
These statements are disheartening because they lead to hiring multiple contractors, increasing costs, and complicating the due diligence process. Here’s how to avoid paying for septic inspections twice:
1. One Contractor
The statements in those septic inspection reports necessitate hiring separate contractors. This means coordinating between multiple professionals, which can be both time-consuming and expensive, not to mention frustrating.
2. Cost Savings
Hiring multiple contractors means paying for multiple evaluations and potentially overlapping services. Price shopping over the phone and focusing only on the inspection cost doesn’t provide the big picture. The unseen duplication of services and the need to hire another contractor significantly increase your overall costs. By choosing a single, comprehensive service provider, you can avoid these hidden expenses.
3. Time Efficiency in Due Diligence
During the due diligence phase of buying or selling a home, time is of the essence. Coordinating multiple contractors can delay this critical period, putting your transaction at risk. By selecting a fully capable septic inspector and licensed contractor, you expedite the process and ensure your transaction proceeds smoothly.
