Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
Most residential tanks need pumping every 3 to 5 years. Household size, tank size, and garbage disposal use change that interval.
Do I need a permit for a new septic system in Parker County?
Yes. On-site sewage facilities in Texas require a permit under TCEQ rules, administered locally by the county or its authorized agent.
What are signs of a failing septic system?
Slow drains, gurgling plumbing, sewage odors, soggy ground or bright green grass over the drain field, and alarms on aerobic systems.
What is an aerobic septic system?
An aerobic system uses air to break down waste and typically needs a maintenance contract and periodic chlorine. They are common on smaller lots and poor soils.
