Episode 14: Water — Where Does It Come From and Where Does It Go

Nat, Jason, and Rhonda dig into the basics of water in a home. They start with a quick Zillow fact about front door colors and how black or charcoal gray can add value, while light pink does the opposite. From there, the focus shifts to water sources and what homeowners should understand about wells and city systems. They talk through how wells work, how drought affects water tables, and why “free” well water still comes with costs like filters, pumps, and electricity. Jason explains how minerals in hard water can damage fixtures and tile, and Rhonda covers why regular testing matters. The group then moves into wastewater. Nat breaks down how septic systems function, from settling tanks to leach fields, and why proper use keeps them running for decades. Jason shares examples of septic permitting and repairs, and Rhonda explains how city sewer systems handle treatment and why tree roots are often the cause of line failures.
