If you are searching for septic service near you in the Greater Houston area, here is what to expect from us and how to choose any septic company. Brown Aerobic Septic Specialists is a family-owned company based in Cypress, Texas. Jerrial Brown founded it in 1999, and his son Rashaud works alongside him. Aerobic septic systems are our specialty.

What septic services does Brown Aerobic offer?

We work on both aerobic and conventional systems, for homes, builders and businesses. Our septic work includes:

• Septic and aerobic tank pumping, including filter cleaning
• New septic installation, with design and permits handled for you
• Maintenance contracts for homes and commercial properties
• Repairs to pumps, aerators, floats, panels, tanks and lines, including alarm repair
• Drain field repair, replacement and drip dispersal
• Inspections and camera inspections
• Lid replacement, riser installation and tank locating
• Grease trap pumping and lift station service

We also do the excavation that septic projects often need, including trenching, grading, land clearing, sewer line repair and French drains. That means one crew can handle a project from the first site visit to the finished yard.

How do I choose a septic company near me?

Septic work is out of sight, so the company matters. Use these questions to compare the ones you call:

1. Do they work on your system type? Aerobic systems have pumps, an aerator, floats and a panel, and not every pumping company services them.
2. Will they explain the problem before they start, and tell you when a repair is enough and when replacement is the honest answer?
3. Do they handle permits and inspections for installations, or do they leave that to you?
4. Do they offer maintenance contracts, so you do not have to track service dates yourself?
5. Can they also do the digging, grading and drainage the job may need?
6. Are they a local company that knows the clay soil, high water tables and flooding in your county?
7. Will they give you a free estimate and answer questions plainly?

What should I have ready when I call?

You do not need much, but a few details help us understand the situation on the first call:

• Your address, and how long you have lived at the property.
• Whether the system is aerobic or conventional, if you know. A control panel and a sprinkler-type head in the yard usually mean aerobic.
• What you are seeing: an alarm, slow drains, odor, wet ground or a backup. Note when it started.
• When the tank was last pumped or serviced, and whether you have a maintenance contract.
• Any paperwork you have, such as a permit, a site drawing or past service records.
• If it is a real estate transaction, the closing date, so we can plan around it.

What happens on the first visit?

1. We confirm what you are seeing and locate the tank, lids and control panel. If the tank is buried, we find it first.
2. We open the tank and check the water level, sludge and scum, baffles, filter and, on aerobic systems, the aerator, pumps, floats and panel.
3. We look at the dispersal area, whether that is a drain field, spray heads or drip lines, and at how water moves across the lot.
4. We explain what we found in plain language and what each option involves, before any work is done.
5. If the repair is simple and we have the part, we fix it. If it is bigger, we give you a free estimate and a plan.
