If you are considering purchasing a home that has a private septic system, you need not be afraid. A properly functioning septic system will take waste water and recyle it into clean water. Never the less, it’s good to be cautious and have a septic evaluation to make sure the system is operating properly.
Unless there is obvious evidence that the septic system is failing, most lenders do not require a septic evaluation. Some mortgage programs do have requirements that a septic system and well be 100′ apart from one another.
