If your Central Texas property features an aerobic septic system, you’ve chosen one of the most advanced and efficient onsite wastewater treatment options available. However, this sophisticated system demands regular professional care to ensure it functions effectively, safely, and in compliance with strict Texas regulations. EPIC Septic & Service specializes in comprehensive aerobic septic system maintenance and repairs, ensuring your system stays in peak condition year-round.
Understanding Your Aerobic Septic System
An aerobic septic system operates similarly to a miniature municipal wastewater treatment facility. It incorporates oxygen to accelerate bacterial digestion, effectively breaking down wastewater more thoroughly and rapidly than traditional septic systems. Aerobic systems are typically the ideal solution for:
- Properties with limited space for conventional drain fields
- Locations with poor soil absorption capabilities
- Homes near water sources or environmentally sensitive areas
- Areas requiring high-efficiency wastewater treatment
Why Aerobic System Maintenance is Mandatory in Texas
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) mandates regular aerobic septic system inspections and maintenance—typically every 3 to 4 months—by licensed professionals. Noncompliance not only risks system failure but can also lead to substantial fines and revocation of your operating permit.
Essential Aerobic Septic System Maintenance Tasks
EPIC Septic & Service’s professional, TCEQ-certified technicians perform an exhaustive maintenance protocol during every visit, including:
- Air Pump and Diffuser Inspection: Testing and cleaning these critical components to ensure optimal oxygen delivery.
- Control Panel and Alarm Checks: Ensuring system controls, alarms, and electrical components operate correctly.
- Disinfection System Evaluation: Inspecting chlorination or UV disinfection systems to maintain safe discharge standards.
- Sludge Level Monitoring: Measuring sludge accumulation in all tanks to determine the need for pumping.
- Sprinkler and Drip Emitter Maintenance: Inspecting, cleaning, and repairing components to ensure even wastewater distribution.
- Filter Replacement: Regularly changing filters to prevent clogging and system inefficiency.
- Comprehensive Reporting: Documenting service visits and submitting required maintenance reports to TCEQ and county health departments.
