Aerobic System Maintenance Contracts

Septic system service contracts are a great way to achieve peace of mind. If you are an East Texas aerobic system homeowner we would like to become your maintenance service provider.

What you need to know

Your local regulatory authority may mandate that all owners of aerobic septic systems maintain a valid maintenance contract in force at all times. Each maintenance contract must be provided by a maintenance company holding a Class II On-Site Sewage Facilities or Class D license. In addition the maintenance company must be certified to maintain your particular brand of system. (Brand names are usually placed on the control box or inspection lid of your system). New systems come with a two year service contract included in the purchase price. At the end of two years you may renew with your current contractor or seek another service provider. It is the homeowner's responsibility to obtain a new contract at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing contract. Failure to do so may result in fines from the County of $2,500 per day. These are statutory fines that are mandated by state law.

How we can help

A-1 Wastewater is committed to providing the very best maintenance service available in East Texas. Each time we inspect and/or service your aerobic system we attach a copy of the service report to the front door of your home showing that we have been by and explicitly describing the fact that we have inspected or serviced your system. The next day we forward a copy of your current maintenance contract and our service report to your County's regulatory authority. We have found this approach eliminates potential problems resulting in County records showing non-compliance when in fact you are in compliance. If you have received a letter from your County warning that they do not have a current aerobic system contract on file, contact us immediately as we can often help you avoid unnecessary daily penalties by placing you under immediate contract.
