<br />Look at <br /> <br />Water we II and <br />sewage disposal <br />systems.. <br /> <br />Adjacent land <br /> <br />Flat work (patio, <br />driveway, sidewalks, <br />garage floors). <br /> <br />58 <br /> <br />Observation <br /> <br />Close proximity of wel I and sewage <br />disposal area (either on lot or <br />adj acent lot). <br /> <br />Well water tastes, looks or smells <br />peculiarly. <br /> <br />Well water yield unreliable. <br /> <br />Old septic-tank leach field-system. <br />Sewage system backing up; effluent <br />surfacing at leach field, <br /> <br />Surface water wlll'draln onto <br />property. <br /> <br />Steep slopes <br /> <br />Low areas with heavy grass or other <br />plant growth; standing water. <br /> <br />Structure and lot close to <br />dralnageway. <br /> <br />Hairline cracks - no significant <br />offset. <br /> <br />Cracks with otfsets. <br /> <br />Deteriorating concrete. <br /> <br />SI~nlflcance <br /> <br />Potential tor contamination <br />of water supply. <br /> <br />Possibly poor water quality. <br /> <br />Wel I may need maintenance or <br />replacement. Some areas cannot <br />yield sufficient water. <br /> <br />Malfunctioning system may cause <br />surface or subsurface water <br />contamination. <br /> <br />Could cause drainage problems <br />such as pending, erosion, or <br />deposition on lot. <br /> <br />An unstable slope could <br />generate rockfall, debris flow. <br />landslide. <br /> <br />High groundwater table. <br /> <br />It could mean part of the <br />property Is In flood prone area <br />or susceptible to severe erosion; <br />may be hazardous or Just a <br />maintenance nuisance. <br /> <br />Minor settlement and/or <br />shrinkage. <br /> <br />Major settlement or heaving <br />unsightly but harmless. <br /> <br />Old concrete or chemical <br />deterioration due to sulfates <br />In 5011. <br /> <br />Action <br /> <br />Have water quality <br />checked by local <br />health department. <br /> <br />As above <br /> <br />Repa I r or dr i I I new we II .. <br /> <br />Septic tank may need <br />to be pumped and/or <br />leach field <br />relocated. <br /> <br />Create positive <br />drainage control.. <br /> <br />Investigate to <br />determine If adverse <br />effects are possible <br /> <br />I nvestl gate to <br />determine If <br />adverse effects are <br />possible. <br /> <br />If ser I ous I check <br />with local planning <br />of tic I a I 5; I nit I ate <br />channelization <br />measures. <br /> <br />No problem - observe <br />over long term. <br /> <br />If caused by poor <br />drainage - drainage <br />control may arrest <br />process. <br /> <br />Replace with sulfate <br />resistant concrete. <br />
