Septic Maintenance Contracts in Comal County

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 the county can ask for proof. We provide maintenance contracts for aerobic systems across Comal County. On each visit we check and service the air compressor, test the dosing pump, floats, and alarm, inspect and refill the chlorinator, sample and evaluate the effluent quality, clean and adjust the spray heads, and file the required inspection report with the county. 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 turn into a soggy yard, a backup, or a five-figure field replacement. It is the cheapest insurance there is for an expensive system.

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 Comal County. Letting the contract lapse can mean violation notices 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 system), evaluate the effluent for clarity and odor, clean and adjust the spray heads so they cover the field correctly, and look over 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.
