Septic Maintenance Contracts in Bergheim, TX

Texas requires aerobic systems to be on a maintenance contract with inspections every four months. We hold the contract, do the visits and file the reports with Kendall County.

Maintenance in Bergheim

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.

Septic Maintenance Contracts in Bergheim, TX

Septic service in Bergheim

Bergheim is the crossroads on Highway 46 east of Boerne where FM 3351 heads north toward Kendalia, a general store, a post office and acreage subdivisions and ranchettes spreading out in every direction between Boerne and the Comal County line. There is no sewer anywhere near Bergheim, and because this is some of the busiest acreage construction in Kendall County, almost every home here is on an aerobic system built in the last fifteen years. We hold maintenance contracts, repair compressors, pumps and spray heads, inspect systems for home sales and install new units across the Bergheim area. The pattern here is new builds coming off the installer’s initial two-year contract and owners who moved out from San Antonio for the land and have never dealt with a septic system. We work right up to the Comal County line.

Common Septic Problems in Bergheim

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

New acreage builds coming off the initial contract

Most Bergheim homes are recent builds whose aerobic systems went in with a two-year initial maintenance period. When that runs out, the owner has to put the system under a new contract or fall out of compliance with Kendall County. We take over the contract and keep the four-month inspections and reports going without a gap.

Long spray runs on big lots

Acreage lots give plenty of room for a spray field, but long distribution runs and heads scattered across a yard are easy to neglect. Heads sun-rot and clog, livestock and mowers knock them over, and one bad head throws the whole pattern off. We check and adjust every head on each maintenance visit.

Wildlife, livestock and the spray zone

Deer, cattle and horses on Bergheim acreage trample spray heads and compact the spray zone, and a shed or a driveway built over the field later is a common mistake on a working ranchette. We mark the field, advise on fencing and keep the distribution working.

Maintenance in Bergheim: FAQs

Do you serve the acreage around Bergheim?
Yes. We cover Bergheim and the acreage along Highway 46, FM 3351 toward Kendalia and Edge Falls Road, right up to the Comal County line. Tell us roughly where the property is and we will come prepared for the access.
The builder’s maintenance on my new Bergheim home is about to end. What do I do?
Call us before it ends and we will pick up the contract with no gap. We inspect the system on the first visit, service the compressor, chlorinator and spray heads, and file with Kendall County so the record shows a licensed provider the whole way through.
Can you install an aerobic system on raw land I am building on near Bergheim?
Yes. We do the site evaluation and soil analysis, size the system to the home, lay out the spray field to the setbacks, pull the Kendall County permit and install it to TCEQ standards. We also start the required maintenance contract so the system is compliant from the day it is turned on.
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.
