Professional Septic System Inspections
A septic inspection can provide valuable information about the condition and operation of a septic system before purchasing a home, selling a property, or when you simply want a better understanding of the system you already own.
Lakeland Septic Company performs inspections throughout Lakeland and surrounding areas. Our team evaluates accessible components of the system, documents our findings, and provides a written inspection report to help you understand what we found at the time of the inspection.
What’s Included in a Septic Inspection?
Our septic inspections are designed to provide a snapshot of the system’s condition and operation at the time of the inspection. Accessible components are evaluated and our findings are documented in a written report.
Septic Tank & Components
We inspect accessible portions of the septic tank and components for visible signs of damage, deterioration, or other conditions that may need attention.
Drain Field Evaluation
We evaluate the drain field area for visible conditions that may indicate drainage or system performance concerns.
System Operation
Where applicable, we evaluate accessible pumps, floats, alarms, control panels, ATU components, and other mechanical or electrical equipment associated with the system.
Written Inspection Report
Our findings are documented in a written report, including photos when applicable, so you have a record of the system conditions observed during the inspection.
What Happens During a Septic Inspection?
A septic inspection involves evaluating the accessible portions of the system and documenting the conditions observed at the time of the inspection. Our goal is to give you a clear understanding of the system and identify visible conditions that may need further attention.
Locate & Access the System
We locate and access the septic tank and other accessible system components needed to perform the inspection.
Evaluate the System
We inspect accessible components and evaluate the system for visible signs of damage, deterioration, operational concerns, or other conditions that may need attention.
Document Our Findings
We document the conditions observed during the inspection and provide a written report, including photos when applicable.
Buying or Selling a Home With a Septic System?
A septic system is a major part of a property, but its condition may not be obvious during a standard home inspection. A septic inspection can provide buyers and sellers with additional information about the system before a real estate transaction is completed.
For buyers, an inspection can help identify visible conditions or operational concerns that may need further evaluation. For sellers, having the system inspected can help provide documentation about its condition and address potential concerns before closing.
A Septic Inspection Is a Snapshot — Not a Guarantee
A septic inspection documents the conditions that can be observed and evaluated at the time of the inspection. Because much of a septic system is underground, an inspection cannot predict future performance or guarantee how long individual components or the drain field will continue to function.
Why Choose Lakeland Septic Company for Septic Inspections?
When you need a septic inspection, you want more than a quick look at the system. Our team takes the time to evaluate accessible components, document the conditions we observe, and provide a clear written report so you can better understand the system at the time of the inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Septic Inspections
What does a septic inspection include?
A septic inspection includes an evaluation of accessible portions of the septic system and visible conditions present at the time of the inspection. Depending on the type of system, this may include the septic tank, drain field area, pumps, floats, alarms, control panels, ATU components, and other accessible equipment. Our findings are documented in a written report.
Do I need a septic inspection before buying a home?
A septic inspection can provide valuable information when purchasing a home with a septic system. A standard home inspection may not include a detailed evaluation of the septic system, so having it inspected separately can help you better understand its condition before completing the purchase.
Can a septic inspection tell me how long the drain field will last?
No. An inspection can document visible conditions and concerns present at the time of the inspection, but it cannot predict exactly how long a drain field or other septic system component will continue to function.
Does a septic inspection guarantee the system has no problems?
No. Much of a septic system is underground and cannot be fully observed during a standard inspection. The inspection provides a snapshot of accessible components and conditions at the time the service is performed; it is not a guarantee of future system performance.
Should the septic tank be pumped during an inspection?
Yes. Pumping the septic tank allows our team to better evaluate accessible portions of the tank and identify visible conditions that may not be apparent when the tank is full. Lakeland Septic Company can pump the tank as part of the inspection process when needed.
Can you inspect ATU and advanced septic systems?
Yes. We inspect Aerobic Treatment Units (ATUs) and other advanced septic systems. Depending on the system, the inspection may include accessible treatment components, pumps, floats, alarms, control panels, blowers, and dispersal system components.
