Septic Inspections

A septic inspection tells you the true condition of a system before it becomes your problem, which is exactly why it matters when a Kendall County home changes hands. We inspect aerobic systems across Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, Comfort, Cordillera Ranch and the rest of the county for home buyers, sellers, agents and owners who just want to know where they stand. We open the trash, aeration and pump tanks, verify the air compressor and dosing pump are working, test the floats and alarm, check the chlorinator and evaluate the effluent, run the spray cycle to confirm the heads cover the field, and walk the spray area for ponding or surfacing. We also confirm whether the system has an active maintenance contract on file with the county, a detail that trips up a lot of Hill Country sales. Most of our inspection calls come from out-of-town buyers under contract with an option period running, so we move fast and put the findings in writing you can hand to your agent or lender.

Why it matters most at a home sale

A failing compressor or a clogged spray field can run from hundreds of dollars to five figures for a field rebuild, and a buyer who skips the septic inspection can inherit exactly that. Because so much of Kendall County is on aerobic systems rather than sewer, the acreage subdivisions off I-10 and Highway 46, the ranchettes around Bergheim and Sisterdale, the river places near Comfort and Waring, the septic inspection is one of the most important and most overlooked parts of a Hill Country deal. A clean, documented system is real proof a seller can hand a buyer.

The maintenance-contract catch on Texas sales

Here is the detail that surprises people: Texas requires an active maintenance contract on an aerobic system, and a lapsed one shows up at exactly the wrong moment, during a sale. Part of our inspection is confirming the contract status and the Kendall County records, so a buyer is not stepping into a compliance problem and a seller is not blindsided at closing. If the contract has lapsed, we can get it current and the system back on the four-month schedule, in the buyer’s name once the deal closes.

Inspections: Questions We Hear a Lot

Do I need a septic inspection when buying a Kendall County home?

If the home is on an aerobic system, and most homes outside the Boerne sewer system are, yes. A standard home inspection does not cover the aerobic system in any depth, and components from the compressor to the spray field can be costly to replace. A dedicated aerobic inspection tells you the real condition, and whether the required maintenance contract is current, before you own it.

What is different about inspecting an aerobic system versus a conventional one?

There is far more to check. Beyond the tanks, an aerobic inspection has to verify the air compressor, the dosing pump, the floats and alarm, the chlorination, the effluent quality and the spray distribution across the field, plus confirm the system is under the legally required maintenance contract. We test the whole treatment process, not just lift a lid, so you get a true picture.

How fast can you inspect during an option period?

Call as soon as you are under contract. Most aerobic inspections take an hour or two on site depending on access and the spray cycle, and we get the written summary to you quickly so you can negotiate or walk before the option period ends. You get the system type and age, the condition of the compressor, pump, floats, chlorinator and tanks, how the effluent and spray field looked, the contract status and any repairs it needs.
