How Commercial Inspections Differ from Residential

Commercial septic systems are often large-scale and require accommodating multiple septic tanks and pumps working in tandem. These systems are designed to handle greater capacities and stress while dealing with high-usage environments typical in businesses like restaurants or hotels. While the inspection process remains the same as residential inspections, commercial units are held to higher regulatory standards, and may have a more robust setup. 

Each county’s Environmental Health section of the Florida Department of Health is responsible for permitting and inspecting these septic systems. Since July 1, 2021, following the Clean Waterways Act of 2020, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has been responsible for implementing the relevant Florida Statutes and regulations for OSTDS. However, county health department offices continue to oversee the permitting and inspection process for commercial systems.

Our Inspection Process

Our comprehensive inspection process for commercial septic systems begins with a preliminary assessment, where we evaluate your system’s overall condition and setup. Our team will then thoroughly examine each component, including tanks, pumps, pipes, and drainage fields, ensuring that every part of your septic system gets the ACE treatment. 

Our inspectors will also note your system’s design, such as if you have advanced systems like an ATU in use, or if your system uses multiple tanks to meet the required capacity for your business. 

During your commercial septic system inspection, ACE will examine the following:

  1. Tank Inspection: We evaluate the tank for any cracks or leaks and assess its overall structural integrity.
  2. Levels Check: Our team checks the levels of scum and sludge within the tank.
  3. Flow Verification: We test the wastewater flow from your business to the septic tank and check for clogs and blockages.
  4. Components Check: Critical components such as baffles, lids, inlet and outlet pipes, and filters are examined for damage or blockages.
  5. Pump Functionality: For systems equipped with a pump, we inspect its functionality, including float components, and ensure everything works properly.
  6. High Water Alarm: We verify the operational efficiency of the high water alarm and float components and that the system will prompt alerts in case of high water levels.
  7. Drainfield Evaluation: Our inspection thoroughly assesses the drainfield, ensuring it properly absorbs effluent and isn’t oversaturated – a key concern for larger commercial fields.
  8. Overall System Health: We evaluate the system’s overall health and functionality, focusing on its efficiency and potential environmental impact.

 Our expert inspectors are trained to identify any signs of damage, blockage, or leaks, ensuring that your commercial septic system adheres to all health and safety standards. They also look for indications of backups, overflows, or effluent leakage.
