Aerobic System Maintenance
Done by the Book

Aerobic Treatment Units are more complex than conventional septic systems — and Texas requires licensed maintenance providers to service them on a regular basis. Direct Pumping provides the routine and emergency ATU services your system needs to stay compliant and protect your property.

  • 💨
    Air Pump & Compressor Service — Inspection and servicing of the air pump that drives the aerobic treatment process. A failed air pump means a failed system.
  • 💧
    Spray Head Inspection & Cleaning — Clogged or misdirected spray heads create health and compliance issues. We inspect, clean, and adjust all spray components.
  • 🔬
    Chlorine Tablet Service — Proper chlorination is required by Texas law for ATUs with surface spray. We inspect and replenish chlorine as part of routine maintenance.
  • ⚙️
    Control Panel & Float Inspection — Electrical controls, alarms, and float switches inspected for proper operation every service visit.
  • 🪣
    Tank Pumping — Trash tank and final tank pumping as needed to prevent solids buildup that degrades treatment quality.
  • 📋
    Maintenance Reports — State-required maintenance reports completed and filed after every visit. We keep you in compliance.

Signs Your ATU
Needs Attention

🚨

Alarm Light Is On

An active alarm usually means the air pump has failed, a float is stuck, or the system has reached a high water condition. Don't ignore it — call us.

👃

Odors Near Spray Area

Strong odors from spray heads or the drain field indicate the treatment process isn't working properly — often a chlorine or aeration issue.

💦

Spray Heads Not Working

Clogged, broken, or misdirected spray heads are a health risk and a compliance violation. We inspect and service all spray components.

📅

Overdue for Service

Texas requires quarterly maintenance. If you've missed visits, you may be out of compliance — and your system may be underperforming.

🔁

Slow or Backed-Up Drains

Solids buildup in the trash tank or a failing pump can cause system backups. Regular pumping prevents this from developing.

📋

No Maintenance Contract

Operating an aerobic system in Texas without a licensed maintenance provider is a violation. We make it easy to get into compliance quickly.
