Septic Maintenance Contracts in Boerne, 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 Boerne
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 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.
