Showalter's Sanitation Co
Septic Tank Inspector in Los Angeles, CA
Showalter's Sanitation Co is a septic inspection company serving Los Angeles, California, offering visual inspection and tank pumping to homeowners, buyers, and real estate professionals in the area. 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 Hollywood Hills, Topanga Canyon, Pacific Palisades, San Fernando Valley (North), and Malibu, where many properties rely on private septic systems rather than municipal sewer. The company holds a 4.6-star rating from 30 verified reviews, reflecting consistent customer satisfaction with its septic inspection work. Homeowners can reach Showalter's Sanitation Co by phone to schedule an inspection or discuss service options for their property. In California, septic systems are regulated by State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) / Regional Water Quality Control Boards / Local County Environmental Health Departments. The state recommends inspections every 3–5 years. While the urban core is served by municipal sewer, many homes in the Hollywood Hills, Pacific Palisades, Topanga Canyon, and the northern San Fernando Valley rely on private septic systems. Some coastal communities (e.g., Malibu Civic Center) prohibit new septic installations and require connection to centralized wastewater treatment.
