Aerobic Install in Boerne

A huge share of new construction in Kendall County is on acreage with no sewer line anywhere near it, and on Hill Country ground that means an aerobic system is the only viable answer. We design, permit and install complete aerobic treatment units (ATUs) across the county, from the subdivisions filling in along I-10 and Highway 46 outside Boerne to custom homes on raw land toward Kendalia, Sisterdale and Comfort, and the large lots in Cordillera Ranch and Tapatio Springs. A proper install starts with a site evaluation and soil analysis, then a system sized to the home and approved by Kendall County, set with the trash tank, aeration chamber and pump tank, the compressor and electrical controls, the chlorination, and the spray distribution laid out to cover the required area without hitting the house, the well or the property line. We are licensed installers who do it by the book: the right design, the right permit, an inspection that passes the first time, and a system that will run clean for decades if it is maintained.

Septic service in Boerne

Boerne is the Kendall County seat, about thirty miles up I-10 from San Antonio, and one of the fastest-growing towns on the whole corridor. The old German town along Cibolo Creek and the Hill Country Mile is on city sewer, but almost everything that has been built around it in the last twenty years is not: the acreage subdivisions out Highway 46 in both directions, the lots along Ralph Fair Road and Johns Road, the ranchettes north toward Welfare and Sisterdale. Those homes run on aerobic systems because the limestone under Boerne will not take a conventional drain field. We hold maintenance contracts, repair compressors and pumps, inspect systems for home sales and install new units all around Boerne. The calls we get most are from people new to the Hill Country: a family that moved out from the city and just got a letter from the county about a lapsed contract, or a buyer under contract on a place off Highway 46 who wants to know what that green lid and the alarm box in the yard actually are. Tell us where the property is and what is going on, and we will give you a straight answer, a real price and a TCEQ-licensed crew that keeps you compliant.

Common Septic Problems in Boerne

The aerobic system problems we see most around here, and how we handle them.

New subdivisions coming off the builder’s initial contract

The subdivisions filling in around Boerne went in on aerobic systems with a two-year initial maintenance period from the installer. Thousands of those are now timing out, and the owners, often first-time septic owners, do not realize the four-month inspections are required for the life of the system. We pick up the contract, inspect the unit and file with Kendall County so there is no gap.

Lapsed contracts on homes that just sold

Boerne homes change hands constantly, and the seller’s maintenance contract usually ends at closing. A buyer who does not set up a new one is out of compliance from day one and has no idea whether the compressor and chlorinator were ever looked after. A pump-down, inspection and fresh contract gives a new owner a known, compliant baseline.

Limestone lots with no spray margin

Boerne sits on shallow limestone with little soil over it, so spray fields here are designed to the available area with almost no margin. A compressor that quits or roof runoff pointed at the spray zone ponds the field fast. Keeping the unit treating properly and storm water diverted matters more here than in deeper-soil country.

Aerobic Install in Boerne: FAQs

Do you cover all of the Boerne area?
Yes. We cover Boerne and everything around it: the subdivisions out Highway 46 east and west, Ralph Fair Road, Johns Road, Scenic Loop, the acreage up I-10 toward Welfare and out toward Sisterdale. If you are inside the Boerne city sewer system you do not need us; if you have a green lid and an alarm box in the yard, you do.
I just moved to Boerne and got a letter from the county about my aerobic system. What does it mean?
It almost always means the county has no active maintenance contract on record for your system, usually because the previous owner’s contract ended when the house sold. Texas requires one, with an inspection every four months. Call us, we set up the contract in your name, inspect the system on the first visit and file with Kendall County so the record is current.
I am buying a house outside Boerne. Can you inspect the septic before I close?
Yes, and you should. We open the tanks, test the compressor, pump, floats, chlorinator and alarm, run the spray cycle and walk the field, and confirm the contract status with the county. You get the findings in writing inside your option period so you can negotiate repairs or walk away informed.
How long does a new aerobic system installation take?
Once the site evaluation, design and permit are in hand, the physical install of a typical residential aerobic system usually takes a few days, plus time for the county inspection and final hookup. The biggest variable is permitting and soil work up front, so the sooner we start the evaluation, the sooner you can be running.
What determines the size and cost of my system?
Mainly the number of bedrooms, which sets the design wastewater flow, plus your soil and how much area you have for spray distribution. Tighter soils or limited yard space can require a larger pump tank or drip distribution. We do the site evaluation first so you get a system sized correctly for your home and a real price, not a guess.
Do I have to maintain a brand-new system right away?
Yes. Texas requires an aerobic system to be under a maintenance contract from installation, including the standard two-year initial maintenance period and inspections every four months. We start that contract at install and keep your reports filed with Kendall County, so you are compliant from day one.
