Texas law, in plain english

If you have an aerobic system,
you are required to have a contract.

Every aerobic septic system in Texas must be under contract with a licensed maintenance provider. Most homeowners find out the hard way, when the house goes up for sale and the sale stalls.

14
days to file the report with your county
$100

We are a TCEQ licensed maintenance provider. We inspect, we test the chlorine residual, we handle the paperwork with Travis, Hays, Williamson and Blanco, and we tell you before it expires. You never have to think about it again.
Our work
