Septic Service for Schertz Homes

Schertz sits southwest of New Braunfels along the I-35 corridor and has grown into a substantial suburb, but growth doesn't reach every lot. On the city's outer edges and in older pockets, plenty of homes still rely on septic systems. Those owners need the same dependable septic tank pumping as any rural property, even with subdivisions filling in around them.

The soil under Schertz is the region's familiar expansive clay. It holds water and drains slowly, and it moves with wet and dry cycles enough to stress older tank lids and drain lines over time. When one of the area's sudden storms saturates the ground, a tank that's overdue has almost no cushion, and that's when backups tend to appear.

Because Schertz mixes newer and older housing, we often see systems whose service history is unclear. If you're not sure when your tank was last pumped, a pump-out combined with a septic tank cleaning resets the clock and gives you a clean starting point.

Frequently asked questions

Are many Schertz homes still on septic?

Yes. Despite the city's growth, homes on outer lots and in older areas often remain on septic systems that need regular pumping just like rural properties.

What should I do if I don't know my tank's history?

A pump-out combined with cleaning gives you a fresh start and lets us note the tank's size and condition. From there we can recommend a service interval you can plan around.

Why do backups tend to follow big storms here?

Schertz's clay soil drains slowly, so heavy rain saturates the ground around the drain field. A tank near capacity then has no room to hold effluent, which pushes the whole system toward a backup.
