ABOUT THIS SERVICE

Real Estate Septic Inspection in Southwest Florida.

Real estate septic inspections are required by most Florida mortgage lenders and title companies before closing a home with a septic system. The inspection has to be thorough, fast, and produce a written report the lender and title agent can accept without rework.

Torque performs state-certified septic inspections for closings across SWFL. We schedule fast, run the system through a full check, and deliver the written report and photos within 24 to 48 hours so closing does not slip.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Scope of work.

  • Locate and uncover the tank lids.
  • Liquid level, sludge depth, and scum layer measurements.
  • Inlet and outlet baffle inspection with photos.
  • Drain field condition check: surface water, settling, distribution.
  • Pumping if requested or required by the buyer or lender.
  • Written inspection report with photos, condition rating, and recommendations.

Timeline

Most inspections are scheduled within 2 to 5 business days. On-site inspection is typically 60 to 90 minutes. Written report delivered within 24 to 48 hours.

Warranty

The written report is a condition snapshot at the time of inspection. We stand behind our findings with photos and detailed notes you can take to closing.

Permits

Inspections do not require a permit. The report is for the buyer, lender, and title agent. Any repair work the buyer requests is quoted separately and would require its own permit if applicable.

Common questions from SWFL homeowners.

Most Florida lenders require one on any home with a septic system, particularly USDA, VA, and FHA loans. Conventional loans sometimes waive it but title agents almost always request one for risk reasons. Confirm with your loan officer.

D

Had a saturated drain field that the previous owner clearly ignored for years. Got 3 quotes and Torque was not the cheapest but they actually came out, looked at the system, and explained what they would do. Two guys, three days of work, and the yard looks better than before they got here. No surprises on the final bill. Will use them again.

R

Our septic alarm started going off at 10pm on a Saturday in McGregor. Called and a real person picked up. Tech was at the house just after midnight, found the issue with the pump, had it fixed by morning. Wife and I were impressed they didn't try to upsell us anything we didn't need. Honest work.
