Scott charged $600 for a septic inspection. In person he was friendly and he did a good job snaking a camera in and showing a live video of a problem the main sewer pipe had, and after he opened up the septic tank and took a look he told us the tank was generally okay. He said he would send more details in a full report, and we'd receive it 2 days later.
2 days later came and went. I had to call him 5x before he finally picked up 3 days later. Later that night he sent me a 7 sentence report with a doodle of the property, and said he'd send more once he figure out an issue with his software. I made the mistake of paying him before he sent over the full report, because it's been more than 2 weeks since he sent me his doodle and I never heard from him again - though I've sent him multiple emails, texts, and Facebook messages since.
Since I didn't have enough details about the septic, I hired someone else to do another inspection. They charged $50 less, gave us many more important details about the system in person, and provided us with an 11 page in-depth report on the same day of inspection. They also texted me back right away whenever I had a question. It was like night and day dealing with these two different companies.
It's possible Orange County Septic Services is the right company for certain jobs, but I can't recommend them for septic inspections. read more
