For Those New to Virginia...
Water is tested for bacteria only. This test usually is arranged and paid for by the seller, and is conducted by someone else. This also is the case for septic system inspections.
Another inspection that is normally provided by the seller is a termite inspection. We will note insect and moisture issues on your report, but we make no claim as termite inspectors. Termite inspectors, by the way, also offer moisture and mold remediation services.
