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 Maintenance Contracts in Boerne, TX

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.

Maintenance in Boerne: FAQs

Do you cover all of the Boerne area?
Yes. We cover Boerne and everything around it: the subdivisions out Highway 46 east and west, Ralph Fair Road, Johns Road, Scenic Loop, the acreage up I-10 toward Welfare and out toward Sisterdale. If you are inside the Boerne city sewer system you do not need us; if you have a green lid and an alarm box in the yard, you do.
I just moved to Boerne and got a letter from the county about my aerobic system. What does it mean?
It almost always means the county has no active maintenance contract on record for your system, usually because the previous owner’s contract ended when the house sold. Texas requires one, with an inspection every four months. Call us, we set up the contract in your name, inspect the system on the first visit and file with Kendall County so the record is current.
I am buying a house outside Boerne. Can you inspect the septic before I close?
Yes, and you should. We open the tanks, test the compressor, pump, floats, chlorinator and alarm, run the spray cycle and walk the field, and confirm the contract status with the county. You get the findings in writing inside your option period so you can negotiate repairs or walk away informed.
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.
