Buying or selling a home in Boerne or Kendall County? We inspect the aerobic system end to end, confirm the contract status with the county and give you a clear written picture.

Inspections in Cordillera Ranch

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 Cordillera Ranch

Cordillera Ranch is the big master-planned acreage community along Highway 46 east of Boerne, thousands of acres of Hill Country running down to the Guadalupe River, with custom homes on lots from a couple of acres to well over ten. There is no sewer in Cordillera Ranch; every home runs on an aerobic system with spray distribution, which makes it one of the densest concentrations of aerobic units in Kendall County. We hold maintenance contracts, repair compressors, pumps and spray heads, inspect systems for sales and install new units throughout Cordillera Ranch. The pattern here is specific: high-end homes with landscaped acreage where the spray zone was designed around the irrigation and the view, builders’ initial maintenance periods running out by the hundreds, and owners who are often part-time and need someone local watching the system. We know the gate procedures, the HOA’s expectations about a tidy yard and how a spray field has to coexist with a landscape crew and an irrigation system.

Common Septic Problems in Cordillera Ranch

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

Spray fields under landscaping and irrigation

Cordillera Ranch yards are landscaped and irrigated, and a spray field that shares ground with sprinklers and plantings gets overloaded with water and buried under mulch and roots. We adjust heads, keep the spray zone clear and coordinate with your landscape crew so the field disperses properly.

Builders’ initial contracts running out

Hundreds of Cordillera Ranch homes went in over the last several years with a two-year initial maintenance period from the installer. As those expire, each owner has to put the system under a new contract to stay compliant with Kendall County. We take them over with no gap and keep the four-month visits and reports going.

Part-time owners and unheard alarms

Many Cordillera Ranch homes are second homes. An alarm can sound for weeks with nobody there to hear it, and a dead compressor in that time can ruin a spray field. A maintenance contract with a provider who visits every four months, and who you can call when the house manager reports a light, is how these systems stay healthy.

Inspections in Cordillera Ranch: FAQs

Do you service aerobic systems inside Cordillera Ranch?
Yes. We service homes throughout Cordillera Ranch, from the Highway 46 entrance down to the river lots. We are used to the gate procedures and to working alongside landscape and irrigation crews on landscaped acreage.
The builder’s maintenance on our Cordillera Ranch home is ending. What happens next?
Texas requires the system to stay under a maintenance contract for its whole life, so a new contract has to start when the initial one ends. Call us before it expires and we pick it up with no gap: an inspection on the first visit, service to the compressor, chlorinator and spray heads, and reports filed with Kendall County.
Our landscaper keeps hitting spray heads. Can you help?
Yes. We replace damaged heads, mark the spray zone clearly and advise on how the field, the irrigation and the plantings can share the yard without overloading the field or burying the heads. We check every head on each four-month visit.
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.
