  • All of our septic systems are tagged for the convenience of the owner, regulatory agency and maintenance provider.
  • Door hangers are left with results and recommendations.
  • We use a computer program called SAFE to track the systems we maintain.
  • Copies of all maintenance reports are forwarded to the appropriate regulatory agency.
  • We feel a proper maintenance program is a good investment and is required by T.C.E.Q. rules. A good maintenance program can help pumps and aerators last longer and prevent unnecessary pumping of the system.
  • Always ask for a copy of your providers' certification to see if they are qualified, so your contract will meet T.C.E.Q. rules
  • All of our technicians are licensed by T.C.E.Q, have completed the basic maintenance provider course and under gone additional training from our company.
  • We run background checks on all our employees and we carry a two million dollar general liability insurance and workers compensation.
