Home Loan Septic and Water Evaluations​

 

Often, when considering a property transfer, whether it is through buying or selling, one needs to have a review of their property based on safety and sanitation issues. This is often required when attempting to get a home loan.

​

The department recommends using a licensed contractor or licensed sanitarian to conduct these inspections. The inspection will allow sellers and prospective buyers to gain a current understanding of your well or private sewage system conditions.
