Brian McGee inspected two house we sold. We lived in one for 25 years and never had a septic issue. he inspected after 6" of rain in the two days before. of coarse it failed ground was saturated everywhere . he told buyers a story that it need a system that would cost close to $30,000!!!! Money was put in escrow.
We moved to a house in Clinton that had and inspection done by Brian McGee again, same story entire line needs replace, would be over $20,000 just to replace line. Keep in mind previous place needed two tanks, a pump and 8 loads of dirt hauled in.
Appears that Mr McGee doesn't want to work for a fair wage, gouging anywhere he can.
We got two other opinions on Clinton house, and was determined that it just needed a piece of line replaced for a few thousand dollar. I then called the buyers rep from sale of previous home and discussed what unfolded, he contacted the new owner of that home. they got another opinion and it was determined to not even touch the septic system, the fix was to dig trench drain between pond and septic field and add 6" of dirt over top of entire lateral field. Again, this work was completed for a few thousand dollars. New buyer was extremely satisfied and we had we had approximately $25,000 returned to us.
Then Mr McGee called the county health department and told them that the guy was out doing a system without a permit. The honest contractor didn't touch the septic system, he was over 50' from it. Mr McGee was upset that he drug his feet for over 4 months and lost another job. If he would've worked efficiently and as hard as the guy that did it, the job would've been done and he would've made approximately $20,000 profit for a couple days work.
if you are doing a septic syste, call D&R Out of Osceola, 417-309-9636, a good honest man that just wants a fair wage for a hard days work!!!!!
I would certainly wish that ALL of the realtors and Bankers in this area would refrain from using Brian McGee (AKA: Chicken Little) for inspections, he puts the fear in buyers that the sky is falling and there have been people that backed out of contracts because of this guy trying to retire off from each job!!! read more
