Septic Maintenance

Regular visits. Fewer surprises. A system that lasts.

Quality maintenance using detailed inspection techniques to lower long-term costs and prevent emergency repairs — the small work that stops the big bills.

What our maintenance visits cover.

Whether you're on a regular contract or need one-off help, here's what we do when we show up.

Scheduled Inspections

TCEQ-compliant inspection intervals with detailed reporting on every visit — no missing paperwork at renewal.

Alarm Diagnostics

The panel is beeping. The red light is on. We diagnose why — often onsite, in one visit.

Septic Pumping

Vacuum service for tank pumping when your system needs it — not on an arbitrary calendar.

Real-Estate Inspections

Buying or selling? Get a documented inspection buyers, lenders, and closing agents will accept.

Component Repairs

Aerators, pumps, floats, spray heads, and control panels — repaired with OEM parts where possible.

Homeowner Education

Every visit ends with what we found, what we did, and what to watch for before the next appointment.

Preventive care between visits.

Your daily habits do more for system life than any single service call. The short list:

Do

Spread laundry loads across the week

Hitting the system with five back-to-back loads overloads the aerobic treatment cycle. Two per day is kind to the tank.

Do

Keep the alarm powered on

If the breaker trips, the system stops treating and warning lights won't warn. Reset it — and call if it happens again.

Don't

Flush "flushable" wipes

They don't break down. They wrap around the pump. Nothing on the packaging changes that.

Don't

Pour grease down the drain

Grease coats the treatment media and shortens system life dramatically. Wipe the pan, scrape the pot, save the pipes.

Chlorine — the most common question we get.

Chlorine keeps your discharge safe for the spray field. Run out and you're out of TCEQ compliance — and the neighbors will notice.

The right refill frequency depends on your household size, water use, and chlorinator design. It's not the same for every home.

On your maintenance visit we'll show you how to check the level and tell you what refill cadence fits your specific system.

Common maintenance questions.

The three questions we field most often about aerobic system care.

Septic system basics — what am I looking at?
Your aerobic system treats wastewater in three stages: primary settling, aerobic (oxygen-fed) treatment, and disinfection with chlorine before it goes to the spray field. Each stage has parts that can wear out — the aerator, the pump, the chlorinator, the floats, the control panel. Our How My System Works guide walks through each one.
Help! My alarm is on. What now?
First: silence the alarm at the panel (there's usually a mute button) — the light stays on, which is fine, but the beeping stops. Then call us at (281) 431-0123. An alarm on an aerobic system is a warning, not always an emergency, but it's not something to leave for the weekend. We'll talk you through what it likely means and get a tech scheduled.
How often should I refill chlorine?
It depends on your household size, your water use, and the design of your chlorinator. There's no universal answer — but on your first maintenance visit we'll show you where to look, how to gauge the level, and roughly how often to check. Full write-up in the chlorinators guide.
