Real estate
For buyers, sellers and agents during escrow. Send the escrow or contingency date with your request so the inspection is booked in time.
Request real estate inspectionSeptic inspections
Septic inspections for escrow, permits and refinancing.
It's the first line on Ryan's own site: a specialist in septic system inspections for real estate, environmental health permits and refinancing requirements.
Four kinds
Which inspection do you need?
These are the four inspection types on Ryan's request form. Pick one when you book. If you're not sure, your agent, lender or the county permit will say which.
Permit
When a county permit requires a septic inspection, for example before an addition or a change of use.
Request permit inspectionEnvironmental
Inspections that a county's environmental health department calls for.
Request environmental inspectionMaintenance
A check-up on a system you already own: how full the tank is and what Ryan sees while it's open.
Request maintenance inspectionThe no-conflict rule
An inspector who can't sell you the fix.
In a sale, everyone wants a clear answer about the septic system: the buyer, the seller, both agents and the lender. That answer is only worth something if the person giving it doesn't profit from the bad news.
Ryan's Pumping Service does no repair work at all. It's stated on the About page. You get what Ryan saw, in plain words, and the freedom to take it to any contractor you choose.
