Septic Inspections in Kendalia, TX

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 Kendalia

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 Inspections in Kendalia, TX

Septic service in Kendalia

Kendalia is the farthest-flung community in Kendall County, up FM 3351 and FM 473 in the northeast corner near the Blanco County line, a dance hall, a handful of old buildings and a lot of ranch land giving way to acreage subdivisions along the back roads toward the Guadalupe River. There is no sewer and no water system to speak of; homes here are on wells and septic, and anything built in the last couple of decades is on an aerobic unit. We hold maintenance contracts, repair compressors and pumps, inspect systems for sales and install new units across the Kendalia area. Because it is a long drive from anywhere, Kendalia systems are often the most neglected in the county: compressors dead for a season, chlorinators empty, contracts that quietly lapsed. We put Kendalia on a route and keep the four-month visits, and we carry parts so a repair gets done on the first trip. We work up to the Blanco County line.

Common Septic Problems in Kendalia

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

The most neglected systems in the county

Distance keeps maintenance providers away from Kendalia, so units go unserviced and problems compound: a dead compressor, then poor effluent, then a clogged spray field. A real four-month schedule with a provider who actually shows up is the fix, and it is what Texas requires anyway.

Wells and septic on the same lot

Kendalia homes draw from private wells, so the separation between the well and the septic system is a health matter, not just a rule. New installs and spray field rebuilds are laid out to the required setbacks from the well, and a system that stops treating properly is a risk to your own water.

Steep, rocky lots toward the river

Acreage toward the Guadalupe is steep and shallow over limestone, leaving little room and little soil for a spray field. Systems here have to be designed carefully to the ground and the slope, and a field with no margin ponds quickly if the unit is not treating or storm runoff piles on.

Inspections in Kendalia: FAQs

Do you come out to Kendalia for regular maintenance?
Yes. Kendalia is on our route. We cover the community itself, FM 3351, FM 473 toward Sisterdale, Edge Falls Road and the acreage toward the river, right up to the Blanco County line. We bring the common aerobic parts so a visit is usually finished in one trip.
My aerobic system near Kendalia has not been serviced in years. Where do I start?
Start with an inspection and a maintenance contract. We open the tanks, test the compressor, pump, floats, chlorinator and alarm, check the spray field and tell you the true condition. Then we put you on the four-month schedule and file with Kendall County so you are compliant again.
Can you install a new system on land I bought near Kendalia?
Yes. We do the site evaluation and soil analysis, lay out the tanks and spray field to the setbacks from your well, the house and the property line, pull the Kendall County permit and install the system to TCEQ standards. The required maintenance contract starts the day it is turned on.
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.
