Seal the Deal – Check the Tank: Septic Systems and Inspection

September 8 – 12, 2025, is Advocacy Week at ACAR. Don’t let a septic system sink your deal! Septic surprises can K*ll a deal—don’t let that happen to you or your clients! Equip yourself with the knowledge to guide seller and buyer clients with confidence and protect their investment. This class is a must for real estate professionals working in areas with private wastewater systems. Septic systems can be one of the most confusing–and critical–aspects of a real estate transaction. Understanding how septic systems work and what the Point-of-Sale septic inspection entails can help your clients avoid costly surprises, delays, or even a failed closing.

We are happy to welcome Will Duck, Water Quality Supervisor at the Portage County Health District, as your expert guide. Will’s topics include how the Health District protects the water supply; how septic systems function; what sellers and buyers must know before listing or purchasing; common system issues and how to spot issues; inspection requirements, timelines and red flags; maintenance tips, repair options, financing options so you can keep your transaction moving smoothly and advise your clients on solutions.

Instructor: Will Duck, BS Biology, licensed Registered Environmental Health Specialist.
