Our Services
A septic tank inspection shows you the real condition of a system before it costs you money. We find the tank and open the lids to see what is going on inside. After that we check the drain field for signs that it is failing. You get written findings you can share with your agent or your lender.
Septic Superior is a family operation based in Thompson's Station. Buddy Tomlin has worked septic systems in Williamson County since 2004, and his son works with him. That is more than 20 years of opening tanks and digging up field lines in this ground. When we inspect a system, we are reading conditions we work in every week.

Every septic tank inspection starts with the tank itself. Some lids sit at grade and some are buried under a foot of sod. We probe the yard until we find them, then dig them out and open them. Once a tank is open, we can see what the system has been doing for years.
Inside we measure the sludge on the bottom and the scum on top, then compare both to the outlet. We check the inlet and outlet baffles, since a broken one sends solids right into the drain field. Outside we look at the field for wet ground and grass that is greener than the rest of the yard. Price depends on how hard the tank is to find and whether it needs pumping first.
Tennessee does not require a septic inspection when a home sells. Nothing in the sale forces one, so a tired system can go unnoticed until after you close. A septic system inspection before closing tells you what you are actually buying. It also gives you a read on how much life the tank and the field have left.
Williamson County runs its own septic permitting office instead of going through the state. The permit on file lists the bedroom count the system was approved for. If a house is listed with more bedrooms than that, you want to know before you close. Sellers order the same inspection before listing, so repairs happen on their schedule instead of during a contract.
We are based in Thompson's Station and inspect systems across Williamson County. That includes Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, Nolensville, and Fairview. Homes in those towns change hands fast, and plenty of them run on septic instead of city sewer. Soil and lot size shift from one town to the next, and so does the way a system was built.
We also cover Columbia and Mount Pleasant in Maury County and Lewisburg in Marshall County. Murfreesboro and Dickson are on our route as well. If the inspection turns up a problem, we handle septic tank repairs ourselves. Call (615) 957-9682 to set a time, and the estimate is free.

(615) 957-9682From the first phone call to the final grade, here is exactly how it goes.
Tell us what the system is doing, or what the new build needs. You talk to the family, not a call center, and we set a time to come out.
We look at the tank, the field, the soil, and the access. Then you get one price for the whole job before any work starts.
We file the county or state septic permit where the job needs one, then dig, set, and plumb the work to what the permit calls for.
The inspector signs off before anything is covered. We backfill, grade the ground smooth, and leave the yard ready to seed.

View DetailsBuddy Tomlin has worked septic in Williamson County since 2004. He has dug through the clay and shallow limestone under these towns for two decades, and that reading of the ground shapes every system we build.
Septic Superior is Buddy and his son. The person who answers the phone is the person planning your dig, and the same hands finish the job. Nothing gets passed to a crew you never met.
Williamson County runs its own septic office, and the counties around it permit through the state. We file the right paperwork in the right office and never cover a system before the inspector signs off.
Tank, field lines, pumps, and the buried sewer and water lines that feed them. When something fails, we find the real cause instead of selling you the part we happen to fix.
A new build that needs a septic system, a tank that is overdue for a pump out, or a drain field that will not dry up? Call or send the form and we will look at the job with you and price the whole thing. The estimate is free.
