Aerobic System Maintenance Contracts
Aerobic System Maintenance Contracts
If you have an aerobic septic system in Texas, a maintenance contract is not optional — it's required by law. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) mandates that all aerobic treatment systems be maintained under a contract with a licensed maintenance provider. Failure to maintain an active contract can result in notices of violation, fines, and legal issues when selling your property.
Waco Septic Company offers aerobic maintenance contracts starting from $300 per year that keep your system compliant, properly functioning, and protected.
What's included in our aerobic maintenance contract:
- Scheduled inspections throughout the year
- Inspection of all aerobic system components including air pumps, timers, spray heads, and control panels
- Chlorine tablet replenishment to ensure proper disinfection of effluent
- Inspection of spray heads and distribution system for clogs or damage
- Testing of system alarms and electrical components
- Written inspection reports filed with the appropriate county authority
- Notification of any issues found and recommendations for repair
Staying on a maintenance contract means problems get caught early — before a minor issue becomes a major repair.

Signs Your Septic System Needs Maintenance
Don't wait for a failure before calling. Watch for these warning signs that your system needs attention:
- Sewage odors near your tank, spray heads, or drain field
- Spray heads not operating or spraying unevenly
- Alarm light or buzzer activated on your aerobic control panel
- Slow drains or gurgling sounds inside your home
- Wet or soggy areas in your yard around the system
- Unusually lush or green grass over the drain field or spray area
- It has been more than a year since your last inspection
Any of these signs means it's time to call Waco Septic Company. Catching problems early is always less expensive than dealing with a system failure.
