Septic Service in Burleson, TX

Most of Burleson is on city sewer, but plenty of homes on its rural edges still run on septic. That is where we come in, about 19 minutes up the road from our yard.

Burleson, TX

Where Burleson Still Runs on Septic

Burleson started as a Katy railroad depot in 1880 and is now the largest city in Johnson County, with about 52,900 residents in the latest Census estimates. More than half its homes (56%) were built since 2000, and only about 2% date from before 1960. Most of those newer subdivisions tie into city sewer and never need a septic company.

The septic work is on the properties the sewer does not reach: acreage and older homes on the county roads around the city, the unincorporated land between Burleson and Joshua, and the stretch toward Alvarado, where the city limits run in a narrow corridor along I-35W. If you are unsure whether your Burleson home has a tank, call and we will help you work it out.

One more wrinkle: a small part of Burleson extends north into Tarrant County. The septic permit office depends on which side of the county line your property sits, so we sort that out before any installation starts.

Burleson Septic Services

For Burleson properties outside the sewer lines we offer aerobic service contracts and inspections, routine pumping and cleaning, repairs on everything from control panels to lateral lines, and new conventional or aerobic installations when a system truly has to be replaced. Building a shop or hosting an outdoor event? We rent portable restrooms too.

Local Know-How

What We See on Burleson's Rural Edge

Newer Aerobic Systems

If your acreage home has an aerobic system, Texas requires it to stay under a maintenance contract, with a service visit every quarter.

Drain Fields Under New Projects

Driveways, pools, shops and heavy equipment over a drain field can crush or compact the lines. Wet spots that appear after a project are worth a look.

1980s and 1990s Systems

A quarter of Burleson homes date from 1980 to 1999. On the edge of town, systems from that era are now roughly 25 to 45 years old, when lines and baffles start to wear.

Sewer or Septic?

Buyers new to the area sometimes do not know what they have. We can locate a tank, uncover the lid and tell you what shape it is in.

FAQ

Burleson Septic Questions

Is My Burleson Home on Septic or City Sewer?
Most homes in Burleson subdivisions are on city sewer. Homes on acreage or county roads outside the sewer lines usually have a septic tank. Your utility bill or the property's original paperwork will usually tell you. If not, we can locate the tank for you.
Do You Work on the Tarrant County Side of Burleson?
Call us with the address. Most of Burleson is in Johnson County, and a small part reaches into Tarrant County, where a different county office handles septic permits. We will tell you straight whether we can take the job.
How Often Should a Burleson Family of Four Pump the Tank?
A typical 1,000-gallon tank serving four people should be pumped every 2 to 3 years. Garbage disposal use and heavy laundry shorten that. The trash tank on an aerobic system typically needs pumping every 2 to 5 years.
