Inspections in Boerne
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.
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.
