My husband and I bought an older home a couple of years ago and there have been a number of problems since we bought the arena.
One of the first problems was with the roof, however when we had the home inspection completed, we were told that the roof was in good shape! There were a few repairs here and there, however we did not expect to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a brand new roof because the entire thing needed to be updated. Even the underlayment was filled with mold! Another problem that recently occurred happened after a big storm. Our drainage field for the septic system was completely flooded. The paper and septic matter was not officially absorbing into the ground. As the water table rises, the septic system becomes a problem. There was an advantage and we had to contact a local plumbing company. We needed a plumbing company that was going to be available in an emergency, and it was important to find a company that could come help us immediately instead of waiting until Monday afternoon. There were plenty of plumbing companies out there, however my wife and I chose a skilled and knowledgeable company with good reviews online. The plumbing company offered free estimates and after hours calls. They had the septic and the problem was fixed in no time at all. The company gave us a few ideas to keep the problem from happening again in the future and they made sure that our drainage system was improved and ready for the next storm.
