Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule septic maintenance?
Annual inspections are recommended, with pumping every 3 to 5 years depending on usage. Aerobic systems require quarterly service in most Texas counties.
How can I prevent septic problems?
Avoid flushing grease, wipes, chemicals, or excessive water at once. Stick to a pumping schedule and get regular inspections.
Is it better to repair or replace my system?
We’ll always attempt to repair first if it’s cost-effective and safe. If your system is over 25 years old or has major damage, replacement may be more economical long-term.
Do you repair aerobic septic systems?
Yes. We specialize in aerobic system maintenance and repair, including compressors, timers, chlorinators, and alarms.
Can you respond to emergencies?
Yes. If you’re dealing with a septic backup or alarm issue, call us immediately. We offer fast emergency repairs in most cases.
