Septic Maintenance Contracts

If you own an aerobic system in Texas, a maintenance contract is not a sales pitch. It is the law. The state requires every aerobic treatment unit to be under contract with a licensed maintenance provider, with an inspection at least every four months (three times a year) for the life of the system, and Kendall County can ask for proof. We provide maintenance contracts for aerobic systems across Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, Comfort and the rest of the county. On each visit we check and service the air compressor, test the dosing pump, floats and alarm, inspect and refill the chlorinator, evaluate the effluent, clean and adjust the spray heads and file the required report. A lot of our contracts start the same way: a family moves into a Kendall County home, the previous owner’s contract lapsed at closing, and a letter from the county shows up. We pick it up from there. Beyond compliance, the real value is that we catch the small failures, a tired compressor, a sticking float, an empty chlorinator, on a routine visit before they become a soggy yard, a backup or a five-figure spray field rebuild.

What the law actually requires

Texas rules require an aerobic system to be covered by a maintenance contract with a licensed provider and inspected at least three times a year, every four months. Those inspections have to be documented and reported to the permitting authority, which for most of our area is Kendall County, under TCEQ rules. Letting the contract lapse can mean notices from the county and trouble when you sell. We hold the contract, run the inspections on schedule and handle the paperwork so you never have to think about it.

What a real maintenance visit covers

A genuine four-month visit is more than a quick look. We verify the air compressor is running and putting out proper air, test the dosing pump and float switches, confirm the alarm works, inspect and top off the chlorinator (or check the liquid chlorine feed), evaluate the effluent for clarity and odor, clean and adjust the spray heads so they cover the field correctly, and walk the spray area for ponding or runoff. Then we log it and file the report. You get a system that stays compliant and a heads-up on anything starting to wear.

New to Boerne? This is the contract the county means

Newcomers to Kendall County often learn about the contract the hard way: a notice arrives, or the builder’s initial two-year maintenance period runs out and nobody tells them. The new subdivisions along I-10, Highway 46 and Ralph Fair Road are full of systems coming off that initial period right now. If you are not sure whether your system is under contract, call us and we will check the county record, bring it current and put you on the schedule.

Maintenance: Questions We Hear a Lot

Do I really have to have a maintenance contract on my aerobic system?

Yes. Texas law requires every aerobic system to be under a maintenance contract with a licensed provider, with an inspection at least every four months for the life of the system. It is not optional, and Kendall County can request proof of an active contract. We hold the contract, run the inspections and file the reports so you stay compliant.

What happens if I let my maintenance contract lapse?

A lapsed contract means your system is out of compliance. You can receive notices from the county, and an unmaintained system is far more likely to fail: a dead compressor or an empty chlorinator quickly leads to odors, poor treatment and a clogged spray field. A lapse also complicates a home sale, since buyers and lenders look for an active contract. It is easy and inexpensive to keep it current.

I bought a house in Kendall County and the old contract ended at closing. What now?

Call us and we will set up a new contract in your name, inspect the system on the first visit so you have a baseline, and file with the county so the record shows an active provider. This is one of the most common calls we get in Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch, and the sooner it is done after closing the less chance of a notice.

How often will you actually come out?

At least three times a year, once every four months, which is the minimum the state requires. On each visit we service the compressor, test the pump, floats and alarm, refill and check the chlorinator, evaluate the effluent, clean the spray heads and file the report. If something needs attention between visits, you call and we come out.
