Cleburne Is the County Seat, and Much of Its Housing Predates 1980
Cleburne has been the Johnson County seat since 1867 and grew up around Buffalo Creek and the Santa Fe rail shops. Census estimates put the median Cleburne home at 1983, and 46% of the housing was built before 1980. Most of the old town is on city sewer. The septic systems we look after sit past that line: rural tracts on the county roads out toward Lake Pat Cleburne, the country south toward Cleburne State Park, and the acreage that rings town.
Age matters with septic. A conventional system that went in with a 1970s or 1980s house has been working for 40 years or more, and lateral lines and baffles that old often give out before the tank does. On those calls our job is to find the part that is actually failing and fix that part. New installation is the last resort, not the first quote.
Our yard is on County Road 810 outside Alvarado, about 14 minutes from the courthouse square without traffic. Owner Dwain Lackey started in the trade at fifteen, working alongside his father, and the family has served Johnson County for more than 35 years.
