Septic and excavation in Hockley: what to know
On rural properties the septic system is often the one piece of infrastructure nobody thinks about until something goes wrong. Regular pumping and filter cleaning, and a current maintenance contract on aerobic systems, keep small problems from becoming expensive ones.
Many homes here have aerobic systems with spray heads in the yard. If you notice a spray head that is not working, soggy ground, an odor, or a red alarm light, those are all signs to have the system checked.
How do I know if my Hockley home has an aerobic system?
If you have a sprinkler-style head in the yard, a control panel on a post or the side of the house, or a maintenance contract on file, you most likely have an aerobic system. It uses an aerator and spray or drip dispersal instead of a plain buried field. Our guide to what an aerobic septic system is explains the parts, and the septic FAQ covers common questions.
What should Hockley homeowners check between service visits?
- Spray heads that are not turning, are clogged, or leave one area soggy.
- A red alarm light or buzzer on the control panel.
- Odor near the tank, the aerator housing or the spray area.
- Slow drains or gurgling inside the house.
- Tank lids that are cracked, missing or sitting low after rain.
Any of these is a reason to call. Silencing an alarm does not fix its cause; see aerobic septic alarm repair.
What septic services do you provide near Hockley?
- Septic pumping for aerobic and conventional tanks.
- Maintenance contracts with scheduled checks of the aerator, pumps, floats and spray heads.
- Repairs for panels, pumps, floats and filters.
- New system installation for acreage and new builds.
Does a new septic system on rural acreage need a permit?
Yes. In Texas a new or replacement system needs a permit from the authorized permitting agent for the county, and the site must be evaluated first. We handle the evaluation, design, permit and installation together; see septic permits in Texas and our design and permits service.

Septic questions near Hockley
- How often should I have my septic tank pumped near Hockley?
It depends on tank size and household use. Many homes are on a schedule of every few years, and aerobic systems are checked on their maintenance visits. We measure sludge and scum so pumping is based on your tank, not a guess.
- Do I need a maintenance contract for my aerobic system in Hockley?
Aerobic systems in Texas are generally required to be under a maintenance contract, at least for the first two years after installation, and many owners keep it going. Check with your county permitting office, or call 832-789-5357.
