Are you ready to list your home on the Bethesda MD real estate market as a home seller? Or perhaps you’re currently navigating the market to find the perfect home for you and your family?

Maybe you’re simply wondering how to make sure the home you currently own is in tip top condition so that you and your family can enjoy many more years there.

Regardless of your current needs, it’s important that you take the time to give the home in question four critical tests. Today, we’re going to break down these four tests and why they’re so important.

Four Home Tests You Should Give This Month!

Carbon Monoxide

This dangerous gas can sneak into your house through a variety of means, including fireplaces, wood/coal/gas stoves and heaters. Check to see if it’s infiltrated your home. Even if you have a carbon monoxide detector installed, it’s important to test for this every now and again.

Radon

Oftentimes, radon will creep into your house through floor cracks or the foundation, not to mention the water supply. So make sure to test for traces of this in your home.

Septic

You’ve heard the horror stories. Don’t let a bad septic mess happen on your property. Test for the quality of your septic now. Typically, the most common septic tests will use visual dyes to ensure there’s not signs of back-up, leakage or slow-drainage.

Water Quality

Don’t play roulette with your health. Make sure your tap water is safe to drink and don’t just assume. Water tests not only asses the water quality in your home but also test for any possible contaminants, like E. Coli and Legionella.
