Other areas were your relying on Wells that are very expensive and or you pay 15k for a dry hole.. etc etc. there is basic due diligence that needs to be done and relying on someone else to do that for you is frankly foolish.

Have been doing this for a few years and there has been lengthy dry spells like this month.

You dig a dry well do you know how deep you can dig into the water?

The leak was pretty severe and ended up going into the garage, so we had to dry out and ventilate the garage as well.

Other than that for us, closing is like watching paint dry.
