Our Company
Built By Experience, Designed to Protect Public Health
Septic Search was created by Scott Carmody, founder of Carmody®, an innovative technology company that has been committed to protecting public health and the environment for over 25 years. Carmody® focuses on helping communities, regulators, and service providers manage onsite wastewater systems more effectively and transparently, providing cloud-based software solutions that make it easier and more affordable to digitize records and access critical property data. This data-driven approach supports better decision-making, ensures compliance, and helps communities monitor the impact wastewater systems have on public health and the environment.
Expanding Access for All
At Carmody®, we realized that it can be hard for homeowners, buyers, contractors, and realtors to access septic records, as they are normally buried in office files or regulatory systems. We built Septic Search to be a public portal, where records could be easily searched online. Our goal is to help everyone access property details, system data, permits, and other documents without unnecessary phone calls or paperwork. By bringing these records into one easy-to-use platform, Septic Search supports better decision-making, streamlines communication, and encourages communities and professionals to work together to keep track of each septic system.
Mitigating Our Impact on the Environment
A centralized septic database makes it easier to identify aging systems, ensure inspections and maintenance are completed, and prevent potential malfunctions, which can reduce the amount of contaminants that are released into the environment. Detailed records help us track pollutants such as nitrogen and pathogens that poorly affect groundwater and waterways. Our products support smarter environmental planning and help communities protect their natural resources for the long term.
Improving Regulatory Management
State and local regulators who are interested in digitizing and managing septic records should contact Carmody® to learn more about our service options. Our team can assist with scanning historical documents, building searchable databases, and integrating records with existing regulatory workflows. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss how your jurisdiction's septic records could be incorporated into our platform and made easier to manage and access.
