Why a contract beats waiting for a problem
An aerobic system has moving parts: an air pump, a sprinkler pump, an alarm and a disinfection unit. When one of them quits, wastewater usually keeps flowing but stops getting treated properly. Often nobody notices until there’s a smell, the alarm sounds or part of the yard stays wet.
Regular inspections catch worn parts early, while they’re still cheap to replace, and keep the system working the way it was designed. With a contract, you don’t have to remember when the next inspection is due, because we keep track of it.

Questions about aerobic maintenance contracts
Is a maintenance contract required in Texas?
For most aerobic systems, yes. Texas rules require an aerobic system to be covered by a maintenance contract that is kept on file with the county. For systems in Harris County, we file the inspection reports for you. Some homeowners can maintain their own system instead, but only after getting the required training and certification.
What do you check at each inspection?
We make sure the air compressor (aerator) is running and moving air, test the pumps and the alarm, check the disinfection unit for chlorine, and watch the sprinkler heads run. We also check the tanks and tell you when they need pumping.
What should I do if the alarm goes off between visits?
Check the breaker for the septic system first. If it hasn’t tripped, call us, and cut back on water use (laundry, the dishwasher, long showers) until we find the problem.
How much does a maintenance contract cost?
It depends on the type of system and the property. Call our office or send a request and we’ll give you a price for your system. The contract covers the inspections and reports. Repairs and parts are quoted separately, so there are no surprises.
Can I switch to you from another company?
Yes. Call or send a request with your address and when your current contract ends, and we’ll walk you through switching.
