Old Lakeway, And Why It Is Different
Old Lakeway went in on septic before the pipe did, and a lot of it still runs that way. Up by the lake there's a second thing to know: inside about 2,000 feet of the water the LCRA, not the county, is the office your system answers to.
Lakeway MUD is still connecting parts of Old Lakeway to sewer, so if you're not sure which you have, it's a fair question. Give us the street and we'll help you find out.
Which Office Permits Your Lot
If your system ever needs work that takes a permit, lots near Lake Travis go through the LCRA and the rest fall under Travis County. On a new system or a design, we handle the permit with whichever office covers your lot.
Selling inside the LCRA zone adds one step: at every change of ownership, an LCRA inspector looks at the system and issues an approval that's good for six months. That's LCRA's resale inspection rule, and LCRA recommends getting it done before closing. Its map shows whether your address is in the zone, or you can ask us when you call.
SERVICES
Septic Services We Provide In Lakeway
One call covers septic tank service in Lakeway, from a routine pump-out to a brand-new system.
A pump-out keeps solids from building up until they reach the drainfield or the spray heads. Conventional tanks and aerobic units in Lakeway both need one, and how often depends on the system and the household.
A pump-out runs $695 for tanks up to 1,200 gallons, aerobic or conventional, so there's no range to land in. Larger tanks we price on the phone. We quote before we pump, and the quote is the price. Call with what you know about your tank, and we'll go from there.
- Conventional and aerobic tanks
- Hillside lots and steep drives
- A receipt for your records
Whether you're replacing a worn-out system or building on an empty lot, the new one has to suit the ground. Lakeway's thin soil over limestone rarely leaves the two feet of suitable soil a standard drainfield needs, so most systems here are aerobic units with spray heads.
We handle the permit too, so you don't have to. Describe the lot and your plans for it, and we'll talk through which system fits and what comes first.
- Aerobic spray systems
- Replacements for older systems
- New builds on empty lots
A beeping alarm, soggy ground or spray heads that stay quiet can come down to one part, not a whole new system. On an aerobic unit that part can be the aerator, a pump, the control panel or a spray head.
Call and describe what's happening, and we'll give you our best read on the cause over the phone. No repair starts until you've said yes to it. Permits rarely come into a repair, but if one does, we'll help you with that step.
- Aerators, pumps and spray heads
- Control panel problems
- A phone diagnosis first
If the control panel's on the house and the spray heads are in the yard, somebody licensed has to look it over about every four months, and on a Lakeway contract the dates are easy to lose track of. On each visit we look over the whole system, so trouble shows up before a part quits.
We handle all of your legally required inspections with an Advantage Plan. Each septic system inspection in Lakeway gets filed for you, and plans start at $39 a month. Selling the house? That's the real estate inspection below.
- Aerobic inspections by law
- Inspections filed for you
- Contracts moved over to us
Designing for a Lakeway lot means working with rock, slope and, close to the lake, the LCRA. A licensed designer picked for your lot draws the plan, and we handle the permit from there.
The drawing usually comes back fairly fast. The permit is the slower part, LCRA or county, and months is a better guess than weeks, so starting early helps. Tell us where the lot is, and we'll lay out the next steps.
- Drawn by a licensed designer
- Built for LCRA or county review
- Planned around slope and rock
Selling a Lakeway home means a septic inspection before closing, and ours covers that requirement for buyers, sellers and agents. Near the lake, LCRA's transfer inspection is a separate step on top of ours.
We run a full test of the system and look over each of its parts, then send a detailed write-up to every party, including whoever paid for it. It's $400 per system. Call, and we'll find a time that works for the sale.
- A full test of the system
- Detailed write-up for all parties
- $400 per system
If your Lakeway business runs on its own septic system, a full tank can close a restroom or a kitchen. Commercial tanks vary widely in size, so each one is priced on its own.
Call us for a free quote. If daytime pumping would get in the way, we'll book it after closing or on a day the doors are closed, to fit around the business.
- Free quote for your tank
- Offices, shops and restaurants
- After-hours visits
A business system has to handle more than one household's use, and in Lakeway it sits on the same rocky ground as the homes around it. That rock usually points to an aerobic design.
The design comes from a licensed designer chosen for the site, and we handle the permit and the build, so you deal with one team throughout. Ask us to quote the job.
- Sized for your real use
- Aerobic and spray options
- One team, design to build
When a commercial system stops working, the property can't run as usual until it's fixed. The cause can be a pump, an aerator, the control panel or the lines.
Describe the symptoms on the phone, and we'll tell you where we'd start looking. Permits are uncommon on repairs; if the job needs one, we'll guide you through it.
- Pumps, aerators and panels
- Diagnosis over the phone
- Help with any permit
A commercial aerobic system is on the same inspection clock as a house, so somebody has to keep those dates for the business.
Moving a contract to us starts with an initial inspection, and from then on the schedule is ours to keep. Call, and we'll quote the inspections and set a schedule that fits the property.
- Four-month visits kept
- Quoted by phone
- Existing contracts welcome
Planning a new building, an expansion or a change of use on a septic lot? The design has to match the flow, the rock and, near Lake Travis, the LCRA's review.
We pair the job with a licensed designer who can do the right work for this site, and we take care of the permit, so you're not chasing anyone. Ask for a quote, and tell us how the property will be used.
- Designed around your flow
- LCRA or county review
- One contact start to finish

Septic Upkeep In Lakeway
What Septic Maintenance In Lakeway Looks Like
If there's a control panel on the side of your house and spray heads out in the yard, that's an aerobic unit. Its pumps and aerator keep the treatment going, so they need regular checks.
Texas law calls for a maintenance contract on every aerobic system and a visit about every four months. That's a lot of dates. We handle all of your legally required inspections with an Advantage Plan. Every due date is ours to track, not yours.
Moving Your Maintenance Contract To Us
If your contract is with another company and you'd like to switch, moving it to us is simple. The switch begins with an initial inspection, filed for you (with the county, or with the LCRA near the lake). Every inspection after that is filed too, so your requirement stays met.
How We Pump An Aerobic Tank
Pumping an aerobic tank isn't the same as emptying it. We leave part of the contents in place, because the bacteria living in it treat the wastewater. On every aerobic pump-out we also check the control panel, the aerator and the spray heads, so a worn part shows up on a visit you'd already booked.
