Septic help for homes outside the sewer lines
A lot of homes around New Braunfels aren't on city sewer, especially west of town toward Canyon Lake, Spring Branch, and Bulverde, and out in the county around Seguin, McQueeney, and Marion. Those homes depend on an on-site sewage facility (OSSF), which most people just call the septic system.
New Braunfels Septic Pros is a free referral service. We don't pump tanks or repair systems ourselves. When you send a request, we connect you with an independent septic provider who serves your area. They quote the job, do the work, and bill you directly.

Why septic systems around New Braunfels need attention
New Braunfels sits right where the Balcones Escarpment meets the Blackland Prairie, and that shows up underground. West of I-35 and up toward Canyon Lake, many lots have thin soil over limestone and caliche. Thin, rocky ground can't absorb wastewater the way a deep sandy yard can, so a large share of homes there use aerobic treatment units that spray treated water onto the lawn instead of a conventional drain field. East toward Seguin and the Guadalupe River bottoms, the soils are deeper but often heavy clay that drains slowly after rain.
Parts of Comal County also sit over the recharge and contributing zones of the Edwards Aquifer, a major drinking water source for the region. Septic work there is held to stricter state rules, which is one more reason to have a qualified provider look after your system.
Signs your septic system needs service
- Drains are slow all over the house, or toilets gurgle
- You smell sewage near the tank, the spray heads, or indoors
- The alarm on your aerobic system's control panel is lit or sounding
- Spray heads are running at odd times, or not at all
- Wet, soggy, or unusually green patches over the tank or field
- Sewage backing up into a tub, shower, or floor drain
- You don't know when the tank was last pumped
Aerobic systems and maintenance contracts
If your home has an aerobic system, Texas rules generally require you to keep a maintenance contract with a qualified maintenance provider, and the system has to be inspected on a regular schedule (typically three times a year). Spray systems also need chlorine tablets to disinfect the water before it's sprayed. If your contract lapsed or you just bought a home with an aerobic system, mention it in your request and we'll connect you with a provider who handles maintenance contracts.
What affects the price of septic pumping
Every provider sets their own prices. The biggest factors are the size of the tank (aerobic systems usually have more than one compartment to pump), whether the lids are buried and need to be dug up, how far the truck has to travel and how close it can park, and disposal fees. Ask whether a basic look at the baffles, filter, and pump is included, and whether there's a charge for after-hours service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a septic company?
No. New Braunfels Septic Pros is a free referral service. We connect you with an independent septic provider who serves your area. That provider quotes the job, performs the work, and is responsible for it.
How much does it cost to use this service?
Nothing. There's no charge to you for the referral. You only pay the provider if you choose to hire them.
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
A common rule of thumb is every 3 to 5 years for a conventional system in a typical household, but tank size, the number of people in the home, water use, and garbage disposal use all change that. Aerobic systems are checked on a set schedule under their maintenance contract, and the provider will tell you when the sludge level calls for pumping.
My aerobic system alarm is going off. What should I do?
Cut back on water use right away (hold off on laundry, the dishwasher, and long showers) and don't just silence the alarm and forget it. A light or buzzer usually means a high water level, a failed air pump, or a tripped breaker. Send a request and note that the alarm is on so the provider knows it's time-sensitive.
Which areas do you cover?
New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Seguin, and many nearby communities in Comal and Guadalupe counties, including Spring Branch, Bulverde, Garden Ridge, Schertz, Cibolo, McQueeney, and Marion. See our service areas page for the full list.
How do I know the provider is qualified?
In Texas, the people who install, repair, maintain, and pump septic systems are licensed or registered through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Ask the provider for their license or registration number before work starts. You can look it up on the TCEQ website.
