On the lot

Inspections, not guesses.

We write condition, not cheerleading — across Western New York. Every visit opens what can be opened, walks the field, and leaves a letter you can file.

Buyers, sellers, lenders

Real estate transfer inspection

A certified open-tank inspection written for a closing file: lids off, baffles, sludge, field walk, and a plain-language condition letter.

  • Locate and open accessible lids
  • Scum and sludge measurements
  • Baffle, inlet, and outlet check
  • Drainfield walk and moisture notes
  • Written report suitable for a transaction

Report within two business days of the visit

Homeowners

Maintenance audit

The annual (or overdue) health check. We tell you whether to pump, wait, or stop using the field, without selling you a replacement you do not need.

  • Tank condition and pumping interval
  • Alarm and pump check when present
  • Field surface evaluation
  • Usage and household-load notes
  • A dated ledger entry for the house file

Same-week visits in season

Odors, wet ground, backups

Failure diagnostic

When the yard is soft or the basement has spoken. Dye, camera, and hydraulic checks after the tank is opened, not before.

  • Symptom interview and water-use freeze
  • Open-tank evaluation
  • Dye or camera as indicated
  • Field saturation assessment
  • Repair vs. replace recommendation

Priority scheduling

Towns, loans, refinances

Compliance letter

A tight letter that matches what the county or the underwriter actually asked for, not a marketing PDF with a logo on it.

  • Scope matched to the request
  • Photos of lids and field
  • Measurements and findings
  • Limitations stated in writing
  • Digital copy for the file

Concrete septic riser lid set in grass

If you cannot find the lids, that is the first finding.

Buried lids are common on older lots. We locate, open, and photograph. Do not guess with a shovel over a tank.
