Real-estate and condition inspections of the tank and drain field.
Real-estate and condition inspections of the tank and drain field. In Winter Park, common warning signs are slow drains, gurgling pipes and soggy ground over the drain field after heavy rain. When you contact the 15 septic companies serving Orange County below, ask whether the tank will be pumped as part of the inspection and what the written report will cover.
Half of Winter Park's homes were built in 1976 or earlier, and with older homes, septic records are often incomplete. An inspection is the simplest way to find out the tank's size, location and condition.

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 Winter Park, septic permits come from Florida Department of Health in Orange County, Environmental Public Health (407-858-1497). The health department issues septic permits throughout Orange County on behalf of Florida DEP.
