Septic Inspection In Travis County

No. A routine inspection keeps the system you live with on its required schedule, so you know what it's doing between visits. A home sale gets its own inspection, because the buyer and seller rely on it, and within 2,000 feet of Lake Travis, LCRA has rules tied to a change of ownership. If you're under contract, call and ask for a real estate inspection, and we'll give you the price on the phone.

The visit starts with finding the tank and digging to the lids, and we warn you first if it means digging deep. We visually inspect the tank. On an aerobic unit, a routine plan inspection also checks the aerator, spray heads and control panel, since they do the treatment on that kind of system. Then we explain the tank's condition and anything that's due, like a pump-out.

If it's aerobic, yes. Texas law requires a maintenance contract on aerobic systems, and the contract comes with a visit about every four months. Not sure yours is covered right now? Call us. An Advantage Plan covers those required inspections, so keeping the schedule becomes our job, not yours.

Yes. When the first contract on a newer aerobic system ends, the four-month visits are still required. Call us before yours runs out, and we'll move you onto an Advantage Plan. We start with an initial inspection and file it with the county, then file every inspection after that, so moving to us keeps your inspection requirements met.

It shows you where your tank stands and whether a pump-out is due. A conventional tank and drainfield usually needs one every 3 to 5 years, and an Advantage Plan keeps those inspections on our list instead of yours. If a pump-out is due, we quote before we pump, and we'll give you a record of it for your files.

First, we explain what failed and why, before anything else happens. It may come down to one part rather than a new system, and we'll say which. You'll have a price for the fix before any work starts. If the fix needs a permit, we handle it with whichever office covers your address.

Mostly, it's who holds your permit and the Hays maintenance rule. Buda, Kyle, Mountain City and Dripping Springs are Hays County towns, so a septic inspection in Hays County follows Hays rules: every aerobic system needs ongoing maintenance, on any lot. Dripping Springs also runs its own permit program. We reach those towns from west Austin and handle the inspections with whichever office holds your permit.
