Question

1) What does a building inspection involve?

Answer 1

A building inspection is a careful, visual examination of the condition of the building that is in construction or newly constructed. A building inspection is vital as it can lead to discoveries of hazards, defects, and deficiencies in the building structure.

A building inspector has a trained eye along with sufficient experience and understanding of buildings that allows him to spot leaks and rot quickly. The building inspector will check for the growth of mold along with whether the drainages are in proper condition.

He will check the air conditioning system, fire system, chimney, and garage doors. The building inspector will also check whether the building meets the necessary regulations and standards.

A building inspection will also typically involve pest inspection. A building inspection ends with a report stating whether the building is in good condition or needs further rectification. The building construction report will typically have a standard checklist as well.

A building inspection report will enable the potential buyer to decide if the property is worth buying and if there are any repairs to be made after its purchase. The building inspector may also provide potential homebuyers with an estimate of the repair costs in order to give them a proper idea.

Answer 2

Buying a home might be the largest investment you will ever make. An important thing to do before you close the deal is to hire a septic inspector to give you an honest and full assessment of the septic system. This will help you to know the condition of the septic system and what to expect. At Septic Works LLC, our professional septic inspectors are ready and willing to serve all residential, commercial and municipal clients. Our septic tank services include: 

Septic inspection level 1: This is a visual inspection that involves running water from various drains and flushing toilets in the home. The septic tank inspector is looking at how well everything is draining. The visual inspection also includes looking for septic leakage to the top of the drain field area. We also check for sewage odors in the area of the septic tank and the leach field. This inspection can help identify problems but a level two can give our septic inspectors a better idea on issues with your septic system. 

Septic inspection level 2: We do a septic tank pumping. We remove the cover of the septic tank. This allows our septic tank inspectors to check the water level. Water levels determine whether water is properly draining. To make sure the water is properly flowing, our septic inspectors will run water in the home. This is done to determine if the water level rises when more water is introduced. Next, we will check out if your septic system has backflow from the absorption area. Backflow will let us know if there is a problem with the leach field. 

After this is done, our septic inspectors will pump your tank. Next, we will check out if your septic system has backflow from the absorption area. Backflow will let us know if there is a problem with the drain field.

 Septic inspection level 3: We highly recommend you choose this option when you are purchasing a new home. The level three septic inspection includes both levels one and two. The difference with level three is that we install baffles. In many states, this is now mandated by the Department of Environmental Health. We install baffles in two separate locations: an inlet baffle and an outlet baffle. The inlet baffle allows water to flow into your septic system without disturbing the scum layer. This baffle guides wastewater to flow down, across the septic tank and then up. The outlet baffle serves as a filter to retain solids from traveling to the leach field. https://septicworksllc.com/page-septic/faq.php
