A septic tank inspection tells you what shape your septic system is in. It looks at the tank and the drain field for signs of trouble. Jojo Septic does septic tank inspections in Lake Worth Beach and across Palm Beach, Broward, Martin and St. Lucie Counties.
Some people order one before they buy a home on septic. Others call when a drain runs slow or the yard smells. If the inspection finds a full tank, the next step is septic tank pumping. Call or text (561) 239-5838, and we put the quote in writing.

The EPA's guide for home buyers lists what a septic system inspection checks. In the tank, that starts with the sludge and scum levels. Low water in the tank can point to a leak. Stains in the tank above the outlet pipe are a sign of backups.
The baffles at each end of the tank get checked, along with the inlet and outlet pipes. The T-shaped outlet keeps sludge and scum out of the drain field. Florida's septic rule calls for an effluent filter at the outlet of new tanks. A clogged filter can be cleaned or replaced through our septic tank filter service.
Out in the yard, the inspection moves to the drain field. The EPA lists standing water there as a sign of system failure. The distribution box gets checked too, to see that each drain line receives equal flow. A system with a pump also has the pump and its alarm to check.
Census figures show about three in four Lake Worth Beach homes were built before 1980. The EPA gives the average septic system a life of 15 to 40 years. In a home that old, the system may have been repaired or replaced along the way. A routine inspection shows what is in the ground now.
Buying a home on septic is a good time for a septic tank inspection. The EPA tells buyers to have the system inspected before they purchase. Inspection results can help you decide if the home is right for you.
Trouble at home is another reason. The EPA's warning signs include drains that gurgle or back up and a strong odor near the tank. After any flooding, the University of Florida extension service says to have the system inspected as soon as possible. In South Florida, the National Weather Service puts the wet season at May 15 to October 15.
Many findings lead to routine work. A tank with thick sludge and scum layers needs a pump out. A lid buried under the lawn can be brought up to grade with a riser. That is a job for our septic tank lids and risers service.
Other findings mean a repair. A cracked tank or a broken baffle calls for septic tank repair. Standing water or sewage on the drain field points to drain field repair. The EPA says to have recommended repairs done soon.
To keep track of when to pump, the EPA says to write down the sludge and scum levels. Keep that note with your other septic records. Whatever the inspection turns up, we look at the job and put the quote in writing.
