What people call us for
Most calls are one of two things: a tank that is due (or overdue) for pumping, or a house in escrow that needs its septic inspected. We handle both, plus permit and refinance inspections, cesspools and pump chambers.
All services and detailsReal estate septic inspection
For buyers, sellers and agents during escrow.
Environmental health permit inspection
The inspection your county environmental health department asks for, done to their checklist so the paperwork moves.
Refinance inspection
When a lender wants proof the septic system is sound before the loan closes.
Septic tank pumping
Routine maintenance pumping for homes.
Cesspools
Pumping and service for older cesspool systems, including brick-lined pits.
Emergency pumping
Backups and overflows.
We pump and we inspect. We don’t do repairs.
That is on purpose. When the company inspecting your tank also sells the fix, it is hard to know what you are being told. We find what is there, show you, and explain it in plain words. If something needs repairing, that decision is yours, made with a contractor you choose.
For buyers, sellers and agents, that means an inspection nobody has a stake in.
You talk to Ryan. Ryan does the work.
Ryan Eaton has spent more than 20 years in the septic trade, and Ryan's Pumping Service is the family business he runs from Gilroy. There is no call center and no sales team: you call, Ryan answers or calls back, and the same person shows up with the truck.
Customers mention the same things in their reviews: he calls ahead, arrives when he said he would, explains what he found, and leaves the yard clean.
