I'm considering buying a house on several acres in Dewey, AZ but have some concerns.

Foundation is concrete cinderblock with wooden crossbeams supporting the floor and a crawl space underneath. Is this a concern for termites? The front deck is supported by wooden stilts on top of concrete blocks and there's an addition in the back that's supported in the same way. The wooden stilts do have some split lines present. Is this also a concern for termites?

The well is shared and supposedly produces 18 gallons per hour. Is the future of the water table in Dewey anything to worry about?

Should I be concerned with the Iron King mine?

Thank you!

Everything you describe sounds like how a normal house is built, or at least was built years ago. Wooden 4x4 posts that hold up your deck will split over time but they aren't going to break. No the termites aren't going to home in on your house because it has wooden beams under the floor. Have a good contractor do a thorough home inspection.



18 gallons a minute well is a very good one for arizona just make sure the shared part is deeded and all that with the county etc.
