FAQs

Why am I required to have a water/sewage test or inspection?

The VA has minimum requirements that include adequate, safe, and drinkable water. You will need to contact your local health authority with the city/county, and let them know you're doing a VA refinance and they will be able to help you coordinate a water test. You cannot collect the sample yourself – a licensed authority will need to collect the sample. The well water must meet EPA standards to provide safe drinking water. If the initial well test comes back with requirements, the necessary changes to the well must be made in order to continue with a VA loan.
