Septic Maintenance Contracts in Tapatio Springs, 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 Tapatio Springs

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 Tapatio Springs, TX

Septic service in Tapatio Springs

Tapatio Springs is the resort and golf community in the hills west of Boerne off Johns Road, homes and villas around the Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort course along Frederick Creek, with acreage lots climbing the ridges above it. It is outside the Boerne sewer system, and every home here is on an aerobic unit with spray distribution. We hold maintenance contracts, repair compressors, pumps and spray heads, inspect systems for sales and install new units throughout Tapatio Springs and the Johns Road corridor. Tapatio has a mix of full-time residents, retirees and part-time owners who are in and out, plus homes that change hands often enough that lapsed contracts are routine. The ground is classic Boerne limestone with little soil over it, and the steeper lots on the ridges leave tight room for a spray field. We know the community, we know what the ground will take, and we keep Tapatio Springs systems compliant with Kendall County for owners who are not always there to watch them.

Common Septic Problems in Tapatio Springs

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

Tight spray fields on ridge lots

The lots above the course in Tapatio Springs are steep and shallow over limestone, leaving little room and little soil for a spray field. Systems here are designed to the available area with no margin to spare, so a compressor that quits or runoff from the slope above ponds the field quickly.

Lapsed contracts on frequent resales

Tapatio Springs homes turn over often, and the seller’s maintenance contract ends at closing. A new owner who does not set up a contract is out of compliance and does not know the system’s condition. An inspection and a contract in the buyer’s name gives them a known, compliant baseline.

Part-time owners and the alarm nobody hears

Plenty of Tapatio Springs owners split time between here and the city. An alarm panel can flash for weeks unseen. A maintenance provider who visits every four months, and who you can call when a neighbor mentions the light, is how a part-time home’s system stays healthy.

Maintenance in Tapatio Springs: FAQs

Do you service homes inside Tapatio Springs?
Yes. We service the resort community, the villas and homes around the course, the ridge lots above it and the Johns Road corridor back toward Boerne. Tell us the address and any gate details and we will come prepared.
I just bought in Tapatio Springs and the previous owner’s contract ended. What do I do?
Call us and we set up a new maintenance contract in your name, inspect the system on the first visit so you know its condition, and file with Kendall County so the record shows an active provider. This is one of the most common calls we get from Tapatio Springs.
My spray field ponds after a storm. Is the system failing?
Not necessarily. On the steep, rocky lots around Tapatio Springs, storm runoff can saturate a spray field that is otherwise fine, and the cause of ponding is often upstream: a tired compressor, a dead dosing pump or clogged heads. We diagnose the whole system and check whether runoff needs diverting before recommending anything as expensive as a field rebuild.
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.
