At Strictly Septic Service, we build long-term reliability into every job we take on. Whether you’re installing a new system, repairing a failing one, or upgrading to meet new regulations, we focus on practical solutions that last. Our septic work stretches across Texas — urban homes, rural farms, lakeside properties, and commercial lots alike.
We cover everything from permitting to final inspection. What we do works — and we know that because we stand behind every project with accountability and follow-through.
What We Do: Full-Service Septic Support
When people come to us, they’re usually looking for a dependable fix or a straight answer. That’s where we come in. Our work spans the full lifecycle of a septic system, whether you’re building new or keeping an old setup running clean.
Septic System Installations Done Right
We begin with a detailed soil evaluation and permit planning. Once approved, we handle excavation, tank placement, component installation, and final connections. Every system gets custom-fitted to the property’s layout, water usage patterns, and soil profile.

Repairs Without Guesswork
We’ve rebuilt cracked tanks, re-piped drain fields, replaced damaged pumps, and cleared more clogs than we can count. If a system can be salvaged, we’ll do it. If it needs replacing, we’ll show you where and why — with clear costs and timelines upfront.
Reliable Septic Pumping
Pumping keeps your system working — no mystery there. We remove sludge, check for early warning signs, and give straight feedback on how often you really need service. No upselling. No recurring contracts. Just real maintenance.
Routine Maintenance + Scheduled Inspections
We manage seasonal upkeep, performance checks, and part replacements. This is especially critical for systems with mechanical components like aerobic systems or lift stations. Preventative care avoids emergency repairs — and lets you budget for service instead of scrambling when something breaks.
Septic Permitting Services
Permitting in Texas can vary by county and property type. We handle the paperwork, file the plans, and schedule inspections. Our permitting support keeps your project on track and in compliance.
Septic System Types We Install and Service
We work with all major system designs used across Texas. Choosing the right one depends on property size, soil conditions, water table levels, and local code.
Here’s a breakdown:
| System Type | Best For | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Conventional Septic System | Large rural properties | Uses gravity and soil absorption. Reliable and low-maintenance. |
| Aerobic Septic System | Small lots, poor soil, or close to water | Treats wastewater with oxygen. Requires electricity and routine maintenance. |
| Mound Septic System | Areas with high water tables or shallow soil | Built above ground. Requires engineered fill. |
| Holding Tank System | Temporary or seasonal use | No drainage field. Waste is held and pumped regularly. |
| Alternative Systems | Non-standard properties or tight code rules | Engineered systems designed for specific site challenges. |
Explore all septic system types we service
Each setup has different maintenance needs. Some, like mound systems, require engineered fill and electrical components. Others, like conventional systems, rely on gravity and don’t use power at all.
Specialty Solutions for Challenging Properties
Not every property fits the textbook. We’re used to working with high water tables, rocky soil, or tight buildable footprints. When a standard system won’t work, we design a custom solution.
- Alternative Septic Systems: Engineered for sites that don’t pass a percolation test.
- Holding Tank Systems: Ideal for cabins, seasonal structures, or temporary use.
- Lift Stations: Pump wastewater when gravity flow isn’t possible due to elevation changes.
In these cases, a detailed site review makes all the difference. We run soil reports, flow estimates, and discuss usage patterns to build a septic setup that won’t fail under pressure.
Our Process: Start to Finish
From the first call to the final walkthrough, here’s how we work:
- Site Evaluation
We review your layout, water use, and any past septic issues. For new builds, we meet with your builder or contractor. - System Design + Permitting
We prepare technical drawings and secure county permits. Soil samples and engineer reports are included if needed. - Installation or Service Work
Our crews show up with the right tools, pump trucks, or excavation equipment. We get the job done on schedule. - Final Inspection + Documentation
Every completed system is tested, recorded, and signed off. We provide a full record for your files.
This approach keeps surprises to a minimum. We’re clear with timelines, costs, and next steps.

Real Talk: What You Might Be Dealing With
You’re probably not reading this because everything’s working fine. Here’s what we commonly see:
- Wet patches in the yard
- Slow-draining sinks and toilets
- Alarm lights flashing on aerobic systems
- Bad smells outdoors
- Backups after heavy rain
These usually mean a full tank, broken part, or system overload. We don’t patch — we fix. Whether that means a pump-out, a new component, or a whole new system, we’ll lay it out plainly.
