With severe weather and flooding becoming an increasing concern in Nova Scotia, it is important to understand that the effects may extend far beyond a wet basement.
Floodwater can affect wells, septic systems, oil equipment, underground lines and water-treatment components. Even when everything appears to be working normally afterward, there may still be questions that require professional inspection or additional testing.
For buyers, a disclosure of past flooding should be the beginning of the conversation, not the end of it. For homeowners, documenting the cleanup, repairs, servicing and testing completed after the event may be very important when it comes time to sell.
