Septic Tank Inspections

A septic inspection is one of the smartest steps you can take before closing on a home, refinancing a mortgage, or just checking on a system you have not had looked at in a while. Our technicians examine the tank, the drain field, and the overall condition of the system so you know exactly what you are working with. We check the water level inside the tank, examine the baffles for cracks or wear, look for signs of leaking or infiltration, and walk the drain field area for standing water, unusual odor, or overly lush grass patches that can signal a problem. Once complete, you receive a written report that you can share with a lender, buyer, or seller.

Real estate transactions are the most common reason for an inspection, but we also recommend one any time you buy a property with an unknown service history, after several years without any maintenance, or if you notice early warning signs like slow drains or odor.

Septic Tank Locating

If you bought a home with no septic records, or you simply cannot remember where your tank sits in the yard, we can find it for you. Knowing your tank’s exact location saves time and money on every future pumping or repair visit. We start by checking any available permit records through the Lee County Health Department. If records are incomplete, our technicians use probing tools to physically locate the tank, and camera equipment when needed for a more precise reading. Once located, we can mark the spot and install risers so future access does not require digging.

Without a known tank location, every future service call takes longer and often costs more, since a technician has to spend time searching before any actual work can begin. A one time locating visit pays for itself the first time you need service again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Inspections and Locating

How long does a septic inspection take?

Most inspections take about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how easily the tank and drain field can be accessed.

Do I need a septic inspection to sell my home?

It is not always legally required, but many buyers and lenders request one, and having a report ready in advance can speed up the sale process.

Can you locate a septic tank if there are no records at all?

Yes. Even without permit records, our technicians can typically locate a tank using probing tools based on common installation patterns for the age and layout of your home.
