If you’ve ever lived in a rural area, you’re familiar with the term “well and septic.” The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that one in five households nationwide get their water from a well and rely on a septic system to dispose of wastewater. That means one out of every five homeowners needs to maintain a septic system. All too often, homeowners take their house’s septic systems for granted, neglecting and even abusing them — until disaster strikes and an expensive emergency repair is needed. If you can’t remember the last time you inspected your tank, it’s probably time to schedule an inspection. According to the EPA, you should check your house’s septic tank every three years. Homeowners can do this inspection themselves by performing the “stick test,” but most prefer to call a professional. Check out below to see what sold in Brooklane Ridge in May 2021:

Some authorities, like the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors, recommend an inspection every year. If you have an alternative system featuring pumps, electrical float switches, or mechanical components, you should inspect your septic system annually. When in doubt, ask your inspector the recommended frequency for your system.
