Check out our video on septic system inspections and maintenance!
Hi, I'm Diana Geremia with Long and Foster Real Estate, your trusted Real Estate Agent in Western Loudoun County. Today, we’re diving into an essential topic with a special guest, Bill Poindexter from Eco Virginia. Bill handles all my septic inspections, whether you’re preparing to sell, purchasing a home, or need routine maintenance.
Key takeaways:
- Regular septic system inspections can save you from costly repairs.
- Many systems installed since 2000 have filters that require annual maintenance.
- Avoid planting trees near your drain field—certain species like maples and willows can cause significant damage!
Bill explains that he often meets homeowners when alarms go off due to issues like leaking toilets or clogged filters. If your septic tank hasn’t been pumped or inspected recently, it might be time to check in—especially with new regulations like the Chesapeake Bay Act, which mandates pumping every five years.
Don't let surprises derail your peace of mind. Whether you’re buying or selling a home, understanding your septic system is vital.
