Real-estate and condition inspections of the tank and drain field.
Real-estate and condition inspections of the tank and drain field. In Oviedo, common warning signs are slow drains, gurgling pipes and soggy ground over the drain field after heavy rain. When you contact the 12 septic companies serving Seminole County below, ask whether the tank will be pumped as part of the inspection and what the written report will cover.
Oviedo's homes are a mix of ages (median build year 1997). If you're buying a home on septic, an inspection tells you the tank's size, location and condition before you commit.

The city's grant-funded Septic to Sewer Conversion Study (PW2413) aims to identify and plan the conversion of existing septic systems. Ask whether the inspection includes pumping the tank and checking the drain field, not just the lids.

Florida law bars any government from requiring a septic inspection when a home is sold (s. 381.0065(4)(x)). Florida's septic rule does not list an inspection as a repair; if pumping or repairs are added, ask the permit office whether a permit is needed. For homes in Oviedo, septic permits come from Florida Department of Health in Seminole County, Environmental Public Health (407-665-3604). The health department issues septic permits throughout Seminole County on behalf of Florida DEP.
Sources: Florida Statutes s. 381.0065: Onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems; Rule 62-6.002, F.A.C. (Definitions). Local rules can differ, so ask the permit office.
Compare Florida septic companies and request no-obligation quotes for pumping, repairs, inspections and new systems.
