Overview

Overview — Inspector Septic

Inspector Septic is an owner-operated septic company based at 503 Dewitt Mills Road in Kingston, New York. Every call is answered, scheduled, and worked by John Kuriplach himself — no rotating crews, no subcontracted inspectors, and no report written by someone who never stood over the tank. That single point of accountability is the reason most of our work arrives by referral from homeowners, buyers, and agents who have already been through one inspection they could not make sense of.

Our work sits at the point where guesswork usually starts: a lid nobody can find, a lawn that stays soft after rain, a slow drain that keeps coming back, or a closing date that depends on knowing whether a leach field has years left or weeks. We open the system, run water through it, put a camera down the line when the answer is not visible from the surface, and map exactly what is buried where. Then we tell you what we saw in plain language — what needs attention now, what can wait, and what it will realistically cost.

Because Ulster County ground varies from Hudson clay to shallow ledge to sandy Rondout fill within a few miles, we adjust the approach to the property in front of us rather than running the same checklist everywhere. Phones are on 24/7 for backups and emergencies, and estimates are free.
