New Construction Water Supply Problems and Solutions


This video is about the potential water supply problems that you may encounter when building a new house. Greg focuses on the problems associated with building a new house on a property that has no access to water.

It discusses how building and safety departments may require you to provide water to the house in case of a fire. This can be a temporary water pipe from somewhere until your water is actually hooked up.

These added expenses can make the project not even worth doing. It also warns viewers to be aware of some of the regulations and problems they may run into, especially building on property that doesn't have any water.

Bonus tips:

Talk to your local building and safety department to find out about the specific water requirements for your area.

If you are building on a property without water, consider drilling a well or having water trucked in.

Make sure you have a plan for how you will get water to your house in case of a fire.

Be prepared for additional costs associated with providing water to your house.

Do your research and be aware of the potential problems before you start building.
