Septic systems don't ask for much — but they punish neglect. The difference between a system that lasts 30 years and one that fails at 15 is almost entirely maintenance: pumping on schedule, keeping solids out of the field, servicing the mechanical components on aerobic units, and catching small problems before they become field-killers.
Our maintenance service covers both system types. For conventional systems: scheduled pumping, baffle and component checks, distribution box leveling, and drain field monitoring. For aerobic units: the full mechanical service — aerator, chlorinator, spray heads, alarms, filters — plus the tank pumping the system still needs. Every visit ends with a condition report so you always know where your system stands.
If you'd rather not think about your septic system — and it would rather you didn't have to — put it on a maintenance schedule. Call and we'll set up the plan your system type needs.
Signs your system needs maintenance attention
- It's been years since anyone serviced the system
- Your aerobic unit's service contract lapsed
- Drains are gradually slowing with no obvious cause
- You've never had the baffles or distribution box checked
- You're not sure when the tank was last pumped
How our maintenance works
1 Baseline the system
The first visit establishes where your system stands: tank condition and levels, component function, field absorption, and — for aerobic units — the full mechanical package. Everything after that is measured against this baseline.
2 Service on schedule
We return on the interval your system needs — pumping when the sludge level says so, aerobic mechanicals serviced on the manufacturer's schedule, filters and chlorinators kept current. Scheduled, not reactive.
3 Monitor the field
Every visit includes a field check: absorption, surfacing, odors, vegetation patterns. The drain field is the expensive part of the system; watching it is the whole point of maintenance.
4 Report every visit
You get a condition report after each service — what's healthy, what's wearing, what's coming. No surprises, ever. Your septic system becomes a known quantity instead of a buried mystery.
Maintenance in Schertz's septic corridor
Schertz's septic density makes maintenance a neighborhood reality, not an individual quirk — and the local conditions raise the stakes. Shallow caliche soils give drain fields less margin for error, so the maintenance habits that protect them (pumping on time, managing water use, keeping the field clear) matter more here than in forgiving ground. Aerobic units, common in the newer subdivisions, are maintenance-dependent by design: the state and county expect them serviced on schedule, and skipped service voids the reliability the system was designed for. Whether your property runs conventional or aerobic, a maintenance plan sized for Schertz's ground is what keeps a system out of the repair column.
