In June 2026 a buyer working against a short timeframe for a home purchase wrote that John scheduled a septic system inspection on short notice and sent an informative report with helpful photos the same day. J. Peabody & Son Septic Inspections is a Maine septic inspection business with a 4.9-star Google rating from 44 ratings. Its website notes that Maine requires a septic inspection on shoreland zone properties before ownership transfers. In October 2026 a customer called the service very prompt and recommended J. Peabody to anyone needing a septic inspection. In a January 2025 review, a buyer named Mylissa F. wrote that John and his team inspected the sewer line in a home she bought and found issues that would have caused a huge mess later, and that the company's report had many pictures marking the problems needing repair. A March 2025 review signed by Geoffrey Crain of ReMax Shoreline said John explained how the septic and leachfield systems work, pointed out issues and recommended steps to fix them. In June 2025 a homeowner with a septic system put in two and a half years earlier wrote that John was at the house within the hour and diagnosed the problem. In a November 2024 review, a seller said J. Peabody and Son had inspected several septic systems for them before selling a house, and that they hand the inspection to the realtor so buyers know what they are getting. Another November 2024 customer had six septic tanks inspected and said John walked them through the process. In April 2024 a reviewer and their husband needed an inspector fast for a pre-purchase inspection on a home in Sullivan, and wrote that John responded quickly. A March 2024 reviewer, partway through a house renovation, said John came out within a few days and wrote a report on the septic tank and leach field with clear pictures. In a July 2023 review, a customer said John's report identified major issues and that the repairs would be expensive, while calling the money well spent.
