Love that dirty water! Recycling waste water...

Private septic systems are a way to recylce waste water and reintroduce it, all cleaned up, into the ground water. There's a science to it. I grew up in a neighborhood where all the houses had private septic systems and it never was a problem for us. Many of the homes I finance for people today have a private septic system. This blog is meant to provide info to potential homeowners considering a home with a private septic system. For info on mortgage programs and general information on the home purchasing process, check out my website at www.NHmortgages.com
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.
