Why a maintenance contract is worth it
An aerobic system relies on several mechanical components: an air compressor, a sprinkler pump, an alarm and a disinfection unit. When one of them fails, wastewater usually continues to flow but is no longer treated properly. The problem often goes unnoticed until there is an odor, the alarm sounds or part of the yard stays wet.
Regular inspections identify worn components early, while they are still inexpensive to replace, and keep the system operating as designed. With a contract in place, we track the inspection schedule for you.

Questions about aerobic maintenance contracts
Is a maintenance contract required in Texas?
For most aerobic systems, yes. Texas rules require aerobic systems to be covered by a maintenance contract kept on file with the county. For systems in Harris County, we file the inspection reports for you. Homeowners may maintain their own system only after completing the required training and certification.
What do you check during each inspection?
We confirm that the air compressor (aerator) is operating properly, test the pumps and alarm, check the disinfection unit for chlorine and observe the sprinkler heads in operation. We also check the tanks and let you know when pumping is needed.
What should I do if my alarm sounds between visits?
First, check the breaker for the septic system. If it has not tripped, call our office and limit water use, such as laundry, dishwashing and long showers, until the system has been inspected.
How much does a maintenance contract cost?
Pricing depends on the type of system and the property. Call our office or submit a request for a quote. The contract covers the scheduled inspections and reports; repairs and parts are quoted separately so there are no surprises.
Can I switch to your company from another provider?
Yes. Contact us with your property address and the end date of your current contract, and we will guide you through the transfer.
