Local notes

Built for Schertz's septic-heavy growth corridor

Schertz sits in one of Texas's fastest-growing exurban corridors, and growth outpaced sewer lines long ago. Thousands of homes — from established acreage properties to newer subdivisions built ahead of annexation — run on private septic systems instead of city sewer. That means conventional gravity tanks, aerobic treatment units (AEUs) with spray irrigation, and engineered drain fields are everyday infrastructure here, not something unusual.

The ground adds the second challenge. Schertz's soils run to shallow caliche and limestone over expansive clay — bedrock that can sit just a few feet below the surface. Drain fields in shallow, rocky soil don't absorb the way textbook diagrams assume, which is why engineered systems, aerobic units, and strict Guadalupe County permitting are so common here. A septic system that would be bulletproof in sandy soil can struggle in caliche if it was sized or installed wrong. We work on Schertz's systems every day — conventional and aerobic — and we know how this ground behaves, what the county requires, and what actually keeps a system alive in it.

Questions

Septic Services questions, answered

My septic is backing up right now — what should I do?
Stop all water use in the house immediately — no flushing, no laundry, no showers. Keep people and pets away from any standing sewage. Don't try to open or pump the tank yourself. Call us and describe what's backing up; we'll tell you what it means and get a technician out.
How fast can you get here?
We're based in Schertz and work the corridor daily. When you call, describe what's happening — backup, alarm sounding, surfacing in the yard — and we'll give you a straight answer on timing. Sewage situations go to the front of the line.
Which areas do you serve?
Schertz is our home base, and we serve the surrounding corridor including Cibolo, Converse, Universal City, Selma, Live Oak, Marion, New Braunfels, and Garden Ridge. If you're nearby with a septic problem, call and we'll tell you straight whether we can reach you.
What happens when I call?
We'll ask what's happening — backups, alarms, odors, slow drains — and whether you know your system type (conventional or aerobic). That tells us what equipment and expertise to bring. You'll get a clear picture of the next steps before anyone rolls a truck.
How often should my septic tank be pumped?
Every 3 to 5 years for most households, sooner with garbage disposals, large families, or heavy water use. In Schertz's shallow soils, on-schedule pumping matters even more — marginal drain fields tolerate solids carryover poorly. We'll set a realistic interval based on your household.
Is my system conventional or aerobic?
Look for a control panel or alarm box, spray heads in the yard, or an audible aerator hum — those mean aerobic. No mechanicals usually means conventional. Many newer Schertz subdivisions run aerobic units because the caliche soils require them. If you're unsure, we can identify it in one visit.
My aerobic alarm is going off — is that urgent?
Yes — the alarm means something in the system needs attention, and running it with the alarm active can cause bigger damage. Note which alarm is sounding if the panel labels them, and call us. Most alarm causes are repairable.
There's a soggy spot in my yard over the drain field — what does that mean?
It's a warning sign that the field is struggling to absorb — especially combined with odors or slow drains. But it can also be surface drainage. We load-test the field to find out what's actually happening before recommending anything.
Do you handle the county permits?
Yes. Installations and most replacements in Guadalupe County require permitting, design review, and inspections — we prepare the design and handle the permitting process as part of the job. Minor component repairs typically don't need permits.
I'm buying a home with septic in Schertz — what should I do?
Get a dedicated septic inspection before closing — a standard home inspection doesn't evaluate the underground system. Ask the seller for pump-out history and the system's age and type, then let us inspect it independently. Our report gives you the condition, remaining life, and any upcoming costs in writing.
