FAQs
What do you know about the soil & septic system?
It's important to have an official soil report for the land, and to know whether there is an existing septic system, how much wastewater it can absorb, whether or not it can be expanded, and if it has been permitted.
Is the soil deep enough/is there enough soil?
Sometimes the soil isn't deep enough for conventional septic systems due to shallow impermeable layers or a shallow water table. This will determine what kind of system you are able to install, how many bedrooms can be accommodated, whether a house can be expanded, etc.
Should you evaluate your soil before selling?
A soil evaluation, available to the buyer, assures them of the value of the property. A Level III evaluation, commissioned by the seller, can be an attractive option that helps to sell the property.
Has the land been altered in any way?
Fill material and cut soil are sometimes hard to discern, but may render land unusable for septic absorption systems. Road beds, embankments, drainage ditches, barrow pits, buried waste and archeological remains can limit the use of some land.
