We specialize in Aerobic Septic Inspections—so you get clarity, compliance, and confidence before you buy or sell.

What’s included in your Septic inspection

Every septic inspection is performed with National Association of Wastewater Technician Certified Expertise and designed to help you understand your system’s true condition—so there are no surprises after closing.

We typically inspect:

  • Septic tank condition and accessibility

  • Effluent levels and baffle integrity

  • Distribution box and flow patterns

  • Aerobic system components

  • Pumps, floats, and control panels

  • Drain field or lateral line function

  • Visible plumbing connections and cleanouts

  • Evidence of leakage, backups, or odors

  • Electrical supply to system components

  • Overall system layout, accessibility, and maintenance needs

Our goal is to give you a clear understanding of how your septic system is performing today—and what it may need in the future.

WHY SEPTIC INSPECTIONS MATTER IN EAST TEXAS

Homes in East Texas face unique conditions that can quietly impact their structure and safety. High humidity, expansive clay soils, and seasonal temperature swings all play a role in how your home ages and performs.

Septic systems are common throughout East Texas—especially in rural areas around Longview, Tyler, Kilgore, Mt. Pleasant, and Henderson.
But our local soils, rainfall patterns, and high clay content can create unique challenges that make inspections essential.

Common regional issues include:

  • Soil saturation: Heavy rains and dense clay soils can lead to poor drainage and field failure.

  • Tree root intrusion: East Texas trees often find their way into lateral lines or tanks.

  • Improper installation or repairs: Older homes may not meet current code or system capacity needs.

  • Neglected maintenance: Regular pumping and inspection are key to avoiding costly repairs.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your property, a professional septic inspection helps protect your investment—and your family’s health.

Many lenders and real estate contracts in East Texas require a certified septic inspection before closing. We make it easy.

He did a great job! My buyers were from out of town, and he made the whole inspection process so easy for them. He was very thorough and took the time to explain everything perfectly and answer all of their questions. They felt so much better about everything after talking with him. He was also super easy to work with and very responsive. I will definitely be recommending him to my future buyers!

Kyle was very thorough in his inspection! Walked me through every aspect of the property, and was very knowledgeable about everything going on. Though I didn’t move forward with the first property, I do plan to contact him again for the next one!

I had an outstanding experience with Palmer Inspections. They were able to schedule my inspection within just two to three business days, and their responsiveness afterward was exceptional. The seller had several follow‑up questions, and the inspector went above and beyond by taking the time to speak with him later in the evening — after getting his kids to bed — which speaks volumes about their dedication and customer service.The inspection itself was thorough, detailed, and professionally handled from start to finish. The inspector was respectful, knowledgeable, and clearly committed to doing the job right. Palmer Inspections is truly a great company to work with, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, responsive, and professional inspection services.

Palmer Inspections was Amazing! I would highly recommend going to Kyle for his services for anyone looking to become a home owner. He showed up on time, was professional with everything, found and pointed out things we did not even see, and responds and answers any question quickly. Because of Palmer Inspections we feel at ease and stress free knowing that all possible worries and problems with the house were put to rest. So we will be able to move in knowing how to prevent future problems thanks to his advice and directions. I would love to have your services again if I ever move again in the future. Thank you again and God Bless.

Kyle was professional, timely, and thorough in his inspection. After, he took plenty of time after we reviewed the report to go over it and answer any questions we had.
