Stewart Septic & Excavation
Septic Tank Inspector in Lexington, KY
Stewart Septic & Excavation is a Lexington-based septic service provider specializing in visual inspection, tank pumping, and system repair for properties throughout Kentucky. The company's visual inspection service involves assessing the above-ground components of the septic system — tank condition, drain field surfacing, plumbing connections, and overall system function — without excavating the tank, while its tank pumping service focuses on removing accumulated sludge and scum from the tank, essential maintenance that prevents drain field failure and extends system life. Service coverage extends to nearby areas including Georgetown, Nicholasville, Richmond, Versailles, and Winchester, where many properties rely on private septic systems rather than municipal sewer. Stewart Septic & Excavation maintains a 5.0-star rating from early customer feedback, with clients noting punctuality and clear explanations of inspection findings. Homeowners can reach Stewart Septic & Excavation by phone to schedule an inspection or discuss service options for their property. In Kentucky, septic systems are regulated by Kentucky Division of Water (DOW) / Local County Health Departments. The state recommends inspections every 3–5 years.
