Purchasing a farm means that your property deserves a specialized evaluation. At Fox Mountain Property Inspections, we’re familiar with the specific needs of rural properties. We go beyond the home itself to assess barns and outbuildings, well and septic systems, fencing, and potential environmental concerns.
Whether you’re raising livestock, horses, cultivating crops, or simply enjoying a country lifestyle, our inspection gives you the critical information you need to move forward with your rural property purchase.
Specialty Inspection Services for Rural Properties
Water Well Inspection
Our water well inspection analyzes your well’s functionality to ensure it’s efficient and reliable. We assess all related equipment, including booster pumps, storage tanks, pressure switches, valves, and other critical components.
Water Sample Testing
We can conduct water sample testing to determine the quality and safety of your water. Water sampling may be required by your mortgage company if there is a private water well on-site. We can perform a simple Total Coliform and E. coli test or a more comprehensive test for lead and nitrate, which also includes Total Coliform and E. coli.
Livestock & Equine Watering Systems
We evaluate on-site animal watering systems to verify proper operation, adequacy of supply, and observable defects. This includes visual assessment of automatic waterers, troughs, hydrants, piping, valves, heaters, and freeze-protection components. Systems are checked for functional flow, leaks, drainage issues, structural damage, and obvious contamination risks at the time of inspection. Findings are documented with practical recommendations for maintenance, repair, or further evaluation as appropriate
Septic Inspection
A malfunctioning septic system can be extremely costly. That’s why we provide a thorough examination of both conventional and aerobic septic systems, as well as lift stations, to make sure the system is operating properly.
Standard Barn Inspection
Our farm inspection package includes one comprehensive standard barn inspection. We meticulously examine every aspect of your barn from the top to bottom, including critical systems such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC.
