How do septic costs and well costs come into play?
Septic can range from no problem, to major headaches. Major headaches come into play where there is not enough drainage for the system. This can be the case if the ground is sheer rock with no topsoil. Sometimes holding tanks must be used instead of a septic system. Then these tanks must be pumped regularly. Septic problems can also arise when a home site is close to a body of water or river. The ground water can be high and provide difficulty for septic drainage. Note: A bank may not lean on a home without a standard septic system. Well depths are another unpredictable item. Well drilling is charged by the foot. The deeper the well, the more you will be charged. Also the deeper the well the more powerful of a water pump the well will require.
