Title 5 Specialists is a Massachusetts company based at its South Shore and Cape Cod location in Sagamore Beach, with another office in Dorchester. The company says it provides Title V septic system inspections across Eastern Massachusetts and describes its inspectors as fully licensed and insured; it also says it is independent and does not perform septic repairs or installations. Homeowners who reviewed the company between December 2022 and May 2026 consistently described Patrick as punctual, prepared, professional, knowledgeable, and willing to explain the inspection process. Reviews specifically mention careful digging and restoration of the inspection area, a timely report, and one 2025 inspection that required substantial shrub removal without an extra charge. The company says inspections generally take one to two hours, include reasonable digging up to three feet, and can use electronic locating and sewer-video equipment. Before booking, confirm the inspector and town-specific licensing arrangements for the property, the scope of the Title V report, and which office will handle the appointment. This is a focused fit for homeowners who need a Massachusetts Title V septic inspection tied to a sale or other compliance requirement.

Patrick was excellent as the Title V Inspector for my house. He was punctual, efficient, and professional. He showed up prepared and knew exactly what he was doing. He was also courteous and personable and took the time to explain the process and to thoroughly and patiently answer questions. I’m glad I chose this company.
We had a great experience working with Patrick Rutledge. He was extremely professional, punctual, and came fully prepared with all the necessary plans and materials. What truly stood out was his dedication—he went above and beyond to complete the inspection, even after we discovered that a lot of extra work was needed, including removing numerous shrubs. He handled it all without hesitation and didn’t charge anything extra. Highly recommended!
Patrick was very professional and explained the whole inspection process very well. He also took good care of the area that he dug for the inspection.
