Marc did a septic inspection for me today at an older home I’m in the process of buying in Millington. Just wanted to share my appreciation for the thorough and professional job he did. Explained things very clearly and in a short time was able to educate on the basics of the dated, «spent» septic system that he uncovered. He further explained the process of installing a new system so that I know what to expect as the settlement date looms ever closer. Well worth it to do the more involved inspection, which I almost wasn’t going to do. Had I done that, or even ended up with a less thorough septic professional, I could have easily set myself up for a very expensive consequence. So, thanks for saving my butt today, Marc!

I recently had a septic inspection done before I purchased a home. Marc at accurate environmental completed it. He charged a fair price($ 400) did a thorough inspection of the system with the snake camera and wrote a well-written report explaining the necessary fixes necessary to the system. Unfortunately, when pressed by the sellers and their agent(who he works for frequently) he backed off the verbiage from his report, said that the drywell was in A+ condition and quoted the seller a repair cost of $ 500 versus the $ 1500 estimate he gave me as the buyer. This created an impasse on what was deemed necessary to fix between the buyer and the seller. The whole issue was created by the necessary inspections noted in the report to the buyer on one side and the shining report card told to the seller on the other. After getting another contractor on site for an estimate, the best written estimate we got was $ 1,250. However, the seller kept using Marc’s words against the report and the other contractor. Marc is very knowledgeable, articulate, and no doubt performs a good inspection. However, it’s after the fact. He has a hard time sticking to his report if under pressure. He never should have given an estimate and he should not have contradicted his report to the seller. When I confronted Marc on this, he did not provide a refund to me after talking out of both sides of his mouth on this issue. If you are buying a house, I recommend someone who is not frequently used by the seller’s agent. Conversely(and comically), I guess I would recommend him if you are selling your house and the buyer’s agent asked for a septic recommendation… it all depends on how ethical you are.
