Built For Ellis County

We know Blackland clay and aerobic systems

Most of Ellis County sits on heavy Blackland clay that drains slowly, which is why so many homes here run aerobic treatment units instead of conventional gravity tanks. The system you have changes everything about how it should be serviced.

  • Aerobic and conventional systems both fully serviced
  • County permitting handled on installs and replacements
  • Straight answers on repair vs. replace, in writing
  • Same-day response on backups and alarms

Questions

Septic questions, answered

How often should I pump my septic tank?

Yes. Aerobic treatment units are common across Ellis County’s clay soil, and we service all of them, aerators, pumps, sprinkler heads, alarms, and control panels, plus maintenance contracts.
Can you come out the same day for a backup?
In most cases, yes. We keep same-day and emergency slots open for active backups and alarms. Call us and we’ll tell you honestly when we can be there.

Ellis County Septic FAQ

Septic in Ellis County: quick facts

How often should a septic tank be pumped in Ellis County?

Most household septic tanks need pumping every 3 to 5 years, based on tank size and how many people live in the home (EPA guidance). Homes with aerobic systems should be checked more often.

How often does an aerobic septic system have to be serviced in Texas?

Texas requires aerobic treatment units to be inspected at least once every 4 months, three times a year, under a maintenance contract (state rule 30 TAC Chapter 285). New systems include a two-year service policy.

Do I need a permit to install a septic system in Ellis County?

Yes. New installs, repairs, and alterations require a permit. In unincorporated Ellis County it is issued by the Ellis County Department of Development as the TCEQ authorized agent, and the work must be done by a TCEQ-licensed installer.

How much does septic service cost near Midlothian?

Typical North Texas ranges in 2026: tank pumping about $300 to $600, a septic inspection about $300 to $600, a new conventional system about $3,000 to $8,000, and a new aerobic system about $10,000 to $20,000. Final price depends on soil, system size, and site conditions.

Is a septic inspection required to sell a house in Texas?

There is no statewide law requiring a septic inspection to sell, but sellers must disclose the system on the required Texas disclosure forms, and FHA, VA, and USDA loans require the system to be inspected.

Does Texas require septic contractors to be licensed?

Yes. Texas requires OSSF installers, maintenance providers, and site evaluators to hold a TCEQ occupational license.
