Helping Kalkaska and Manistee Homeowners with Point of Sale Inspections

Complete, Compliant, and Confident Closings

Selling a home in Kalkaska and Manistee County with a septic system or private well comes with extra inspections—and a lot more moving parts. Our Point of Sale Inspection service is designed to meet local requirements seamlessly. We walk through every step of the multi-part process—septic, well water, county forms, and more—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

We begin by scheduling your inspection quickly and efficiently. Our experienced team inspects the septic system, evaluating components like tank integrity, drain fields, filters, and proper system function. We also test your on-site water supply for safety and compliance, checking for contaminants, bacteria, and clarity. Along the way, we collect required documentation and township-specific forms as part of the inspection package.

Once the on-site inspection is complete, we compile a full report that meets all County Health Department standards. No confusing terminology—just the straight facts you need to move your sale forward.

Our expertise reduces risk by helping you:

•  Avoid surprising delays at closing

•  Address county compliance issues early

•  Negotiate repair items with confidence

•  Confidently present compliant documentation

Because our team handles scheduling, inspections, paperwork, and reporting, you spend less time coordinating and more time preparing for a smooth sale.

What’s Included in the Inspection

• Septic System Evaluation
  We assess tank condition, location, pump components, and drainfield condition. We check for functionality and other items on the Health Department inspection list— according to Health Department requirements.

• Private Well Water Test
  Testing includes bacteria (E. coli/Coliform), nitrate levels, and visual clarity. We’ll alert you immediately if any initial samples suggest urgent contamination.

• Documentation & County Forms
  We gather or complete necessary forms—including well and septic records, inspection reports, and photo documentation—specific to your county health department.
