Permits In Dripping Springs
Who Permits Septic Work at Your Address
One Call, Whichever Office You Answer To
A repair, a replacement tank or a new spray field can each need a permit, and it has to go to the right office. We file it there and deal with that office for you, so you're not the one waiting on hold.
We work both sides of the line. HomeField Travis County is who shows up either way, and our Hays County septic services page has more on what the county asks of septic owners.
Hays County Expects Every Aerobic Unit Maintained
Nobody sends you a bill for wastewater, so nobody reminds you when the system is due. Hays County requires maintenance on every aerobic system, with a licensed visit about every four months, and an Advantage Plan puts those visits on us, so the dates aren't yours to remember.
SERVICES
Our Dripping Springs Septic Services
Pumping, repairs, required inspections, new systems and permits. Whatever yours needs, it starts with one call.
If it's been a few years, or you can't remember the last time, the tank is the place to start. Most homes out here run aerobic units, and on stony lots the lids aren't always easy to reach.
We find the tank and dig to the lids, and we warn you before any deep digging. Every aerobic pump-out includes a check of the aerator, spray heads and control panel, so one visit covers both.
- Conventional and aerobic tanks
- We find the lids for you
- Pumping is $695 to 1,200 gallons
A beeping panel, a soggy patch of yard or a spray head that won't pop up usually means one part has quit, not the whole system. Aerobic units have more moving parts to wear, and limestone can make the dig slower.
Call us and describe what's going on, and we'll tell you over the phone what you most likely need. When a repair calls for a permit, we file it so the fix isn't held up.
- Aerators, pumps and spray heads
- Control panels and wiring
- Permits filed when needed
An aerobic system can look fine from the porch and still be overdue for the visit the county requires. From the yard, there's no way to tell, and the unit won't remind you.
We handle all of your legally required inspections with an Advantage Plan, and plans start at $39 a month. After each visit you get an explanation of what we saw and anything that needs attention.
- Required visits handled for you
- Aerator, pump and panel checked
- Nothing for you to track
Building on acreage, or replacing a system that's worn out? Setting a tank here usually means cutting rock, so the dig and the schedule get planned around it from the start.
We set the system and file the permit with whichever office covers your address, so you don't have to sort out who signs off.
- New systems and replacements
- Tanks set in rocky ground
- Permit filed for you
Before a tank goes in, the system has to fit your lot: the soil, the rock, the slope and the distance from the house and any well. Adding a pool, a barn or a guest house raises the same questions.
We plan the system around your ground and what you want to build, show you where it can and can't go, and take the design through permitting so the installation can start on time.
- Site and soil evaluation
- Layouts that fit the lot
- Help near pools and additions
Buying or selling out here, you want to know what's going on with the septic system before closing. A home on septic has to be inspected before it sells, and ours meets that requirement, so nobody gets surprised after the move.
We test the whole system, open the lids and visually inspect the tank and the aerobic parts, and every party in the sale gets our written explanation. Then we walk buyers, sellers and agents through what we saw while there's still time to act on it.
- For buyers, sellers and agents
- Tank and aerobic parts inspected
- Meets the sale requirement
If your venue, shop or office runs on its own septic system, its tank fills faster than a household's, because a crowd sends more water through it. So pump-outs come due sooner than they would at home.
Pricing depends on the size of the system and the tank, so call us for a free quote. Tell us about your busiest days when you call, and we'll talk through how often the tank should be pumped.
- Priced by system and tank size
- Venues, shops and offices
- Free quote by phone
A system for a business is sized for the crowd, not the household, and on shallow soil that usually points to aerobic treatment with room to spare for your busiest day.
We set commercial systems in rocky ground and take care of the permit with the office that covers your property, so opening day isn't waiting on paperwork.
- Sized for peak days
- Aerobic treatment on rock
- Permit handled start to finish
When a business system goes down, restrooms close and customers notice. Out here the cause is often an aerobic part that quit under a heavy load: a pump, an aerator or a spray line.
Describe the problem on the phone and we'll work out the likely fix before we arrive, then get the system back in service and file any permit the repair needs.
- Pumps, aerators and spray lines
- Likely fix worked out by phone
- Back in service, permit filed
The county's maintenance rule covers the aerobic system behind your business just as it covers a home, and we keep those visits on time so your business never has to track them.
Each visit checks the aerobic parts, and we explain the system's condition afterward, so you always know where it stands.
- Required visits kept on time
- Aerobic parts checked
- Condition explained each visit
Planning an event space, a brewery or an office on rural land means designing wastewater for peak days on ground where the rock sits close to the surface.
We size the system to your real use, lay it out around your buildings and parking, and see the design through the permit office before any work starts.
- Sized for your real use
- Laid out around your site
- Taken through permitting
WHERE WE WORK
Around Dripping Springs
If your home sits on acreage out here, the system in your yard is almost certainly yours, not a sewer line. That's true across most of Dripping Springs, on both sides of US-290, and we come to all of it.
The subdivisions built during the boom, like Saratoga Hills, Bunker Ranch and Sunset Canyon, were built on private systems, most likely aerobic units with spray heads. Many of those systems are still young, with their first pump-outs coming due, and we handle that first one and every visit after it.
Inside the city limit or out in the county, one team covers it all: septic tank service in Dripping Springs, TX, plus repairs, required visits and permits. For the rest of the area, here's every town we serve across Travis and northern Hays.

Why Dripping Springs Homes Run on Aerobic Septic
The room and the hills are a big part of why people picked Dripping Springs. They're also why there's a septic system in the yard instead of a sewer line under the street.
So if you're on acreage here, your home almost certainly treats its own wastewater, and keeping that system healthy is on you. That's the part we take off your plate.
Thin Soil Over Limestone Decides the System
Your soil decides what kind of system you have. Texas wants two feet of suitable soil under a drainfield trench, and out here the limestone often sits closer than that. So most newer homes here got an aerobic unit, which cleans the wastewater with air and bacteria and spreads it through spray heads.
An Aerobic Unit Only Works While Its Parts Do
An aerator, a pump, spray heads and a control panel all have to keep working for your system to do its job and stay legal. Our septic services in Dripping Springs are built around keeping them running: the required inspections, a pump-out when solids build up, and a repair when a part quits.
When a pump-out is due, we leave the good bacteria behind so treatment picks right back up.
