Service Overview
Sewer Site Development With Clear Answers Before Work Begins
New development projects in Central Florida require properly designed and installed sewer infrastructure before a single certificate of occupancy can be issued. Whether you're building a single commercial pad, a mixed-use development, or a multi-phase residential community, sewer line installation must meet strict local and county code requirements — and any delay or failed inspection can cascade across your entire project schedule.
Lapin Services has been handling sewer infrastructure for construction and development projects in Orlando and Central Florida since 1958. As a licensed Underground Utilities Contractor (CUC1223686), we manage the full scope — site review, permitting, excavation, pipe installation, inspections, and as-built documentation — so your team isn't chasing down a fragmented list of subs. With 65+ years of field experience and over 200 years of combined technical expertise, we know what it takes to get utility work approved and off the critical path.
Problems We Solve
Common Sewer Site Development Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Permit Delays Stalling the Schedule
Navigating county permitting for sewer infrastructure can be time-consuming and unpredictable when you don't know the process. Inexperienced contractors often submit incomplete applications, triggering revisions that push your project weeks behind before a shovel hits the ground.
Failed Inspections on Critical Path Items
A failed sewer inspection doesn't just delay the utility work — it can hold up framing, finish trades, and your CO. Getting the installation right the first time, with the documentation inspectors expect, is the only way to protect your schedule.
Poor Coordination Between Utility Subs
When sewer, water, and underground utilities are handled by different contractors who don't communicate, conflicts underground create costly change orders and rework. A single end-to-end utility partner eliminates the coordination gaps that slow projects down.
Incomplete or Missing As-Built Documentation
Developers and property owners need accurate as-built records for future maintenance, resale, and regulatory compliance. Contractors who skip proper documentation create long-term liability for everyone downstream in the ownership chain.
Contractor Capacity Problems Mid-Project
Some utility contractors win the bid and then struggle to staff the work when it matters most. Insufficient crew capacity on a time-sensitive development project is a risk you can't afford — you need a contractor with the resources to show up and perform consistently from start to finish.
When to Call
Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these signs, call Lapin. We will find the cause and explain what needs to happen next.
You're Breaking Ground on a New Development
Any new construction project — residential, commercial, or mixed-use — that connects to a municipal sewer system or requires on-site sewer infrastructure needs a licensed underground utility contractor before work can begin. The earlier Lapin is engaged, the smoother the permitting and scheduling process.
Your Project Requires Sewer Main Extensions or Tie-Ins
If your site development requires extending an existing sewer main, connecting lateral lines, or coordinating a tie-in with the local utility authority, you need a contractor with the technical knowledge and established relationships to get it done correctly and on time.
You're Handling Permitting and Inspection Coordination In-House
If your project team is managing utility permits without a dedicated specialty contractor, you're carrying risk that belongs in the hands of a licensed professional. Lapin handles the full permit-to-inspection cycle so your PM can focus on the rest of the project.
Your Current Utility Sub Missed a Deadline or Failed an Inspection
When a utility contractor falls behind or fails a county inspection, you need a replacement who can mobilize quickly and deliver results without additional delays. Lapin's team has the depth and local expertise to step in and get the work back on track.
You Need a Single Utility Partner Across Multiple Projects
GCs and developers managing multiple active sites benefit from consolidating underground utility work with one trusted contractor. Lapin's track record across Central Florida development projects makes us a reliable long-term partner — not just a one-job sub.

FAQs
Sewer Site Development FAQs
What licenses does Lapin Services hold for sewer site development work?
Lapin Services holds Underground Utilities Contractor License CUC1223686, along with Master Septic Contractor License SM0890812 and Plumbing Contractor License CFC1428594. These credentials cover the full scope of underground utility and sewer infrastructure work required for development projects in Florida.
What types of development projects do you work on?
We work on a wide range of commercial and residential development projects, including retail and commercial pad sites, multi-family and mixed-use developments, light industrial and office parks, and residential subdivisions. If your project requires sewer infrastructure installation or connection in Central Florida, we can help.
Do you handle permitting and inspections, or does the GC need to manage that?
Lapin manages the full permit-to-inspection cycle for sewer infrastructure work. We prepare and submit permit applications, coordinate with county and utility authorities, schedule required inspections, and deliver all documentation upon completion. Your project manager doesn’t need to chase permits — that’s our job.
How far in advance should we engage Lapin for a new development project?
The earlier, the better. Engaging a utility contractor during the design and pre-construction phase allows us to review plans, flag potential issues before they become field problems, and start the permitting process so approvals are in hand when you’re ready to mobilize. Waiting until you’re already breaking ground on other trades puts unnecessary pressure on the schedule.
What areas of Central Florida do you serve?
Lapin Services serves all of Central Florida, including Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, and Polk counties. We’re based in Orlando at 3031 40th Street and have been operating throughout the region for over 65 years.
Can you coordinate with the municipal utility authority for sewer main tie-ins?
Yes. Lapin has established working relationships with local utility authorities across Central Florida and handles the coordination required for sewer main extensions and tie-ins, including applications, inspections, and any required utility authority approvals. We manage the process so your project doesn’t stall waiting on a third party.
What documentation will we receive when the sewer work is complete?
Upon project completion, Lapin delivers a full documentation package including as-built drawings, passed inspection records, permits, and any required manifests or compliance certificates. This documentation protects your project record and gives future owners and operators everything they need for maintenance and regulatory compliance.
How do we get a quote for sewer site development work?
Call us at (407) 326-3367 or reach out through our website to discuss your project. We’ll ask for basic project details — site location, scope, and timeline — and schedule a site review to confirm the full scope before providing a quote.
