Services & Process

Septic services include system inspections, tank pumping, and repairs to keep your wastewater system functioning properly and in compliance with local health codes. Well drilling involves boring into the ground to access groundwater for a private water supply, which is common on rural Texas properties. Keeping your well and septic system properly separated and maintained is critical since poor placement or a failing septic system can contaminate a private well. This provider understands how both systems interact on a single property.

Service Area

Septic Tanks and Properties serves Houston, TX and the surrounding areas, including properties in the outer Harris County communities and neighboring counties where private wells and septic systems are common. Rural properties throughout the broader Houston region are well within their service range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How close can my well be to my septic system in Texas?
Texas has minimum separation requirements between wells and septic components. Generally, the well must be at least 50 feet from a septic tank and farther from a drain field, though exact distances depend on soil conditions and system type. Your installer will follow TCEQ guidelines for your specific site.
How do I know if my well water has been affected by my septic system?
Testing is the only reliable way to know. If you notice changes in your water's taste, smell, or color, or if someone in the household has unexplained stomach issues, get your well water tested right away. Annual testing is a good habit for any private well owner.
What's involved in a septic inspection for a real estate transaction?
The inspector will locate the tank, check the baffles and components, assess the drain field condition, and pump the tank if needed to inspect the interior. The goal is to confirm the system is functioning and meets current standards before the property changes hands.
How long does a well last in the Houston area?
With proper casing and maintenance, a well can last 20 to 30 years or more. The depth of the water table and local geology play a big role. Wells in the Houston area often tap into the Chicot or Evangeline aquifer systems.
Can I add a new septic system to a property that already has a well?
Yes, but the placement has to be carefully planned around the existing well. A site evaluation is required to confirm there's enough suitable land and that setback requirements can be met. This is exactly the kind of job that benefits from a provider who works with both systems.
What are signs that my septic tank needs to be pumped?
Slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets, odors near the tank or drain field, and wet or unusually green patches of grass over the drain field are all warning signs. Most tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years regardless of whether you notice symptoms.
