Homeowners in Florida rely on septic systems for thousands of households across the state. Heavy rain events and hurricane season can cause hydraulic overload in septic systems.

The EPA recommends pumping your septic tank every 3–5 years. In Florida, many aging systems are now entering the replacement window — making regular inspection especially important.

When choosing a septic contractor in Florida, verify their license with your local health department. Many counties in Florida require septic inspection at time of home sale — check with your local health department.
