Septic Installation in New Braunfels, TX

Septic Systems Beyond City Sewer

Most homes inside New Braunfels connect to city sewer. Beyond that service area, on acreage along the county roads, in newer subdivisions at the edge of town and on the land between New Braunfels and Canyon Lake, properties rely on septic. That is where most of our New Braunfels work takes place.

Soil conditions vary considerably across the area. East of town, toward the blackland, soils are deeper and heavier, and a conventional system is sometimes possible. West and north of town, as the land rises into the Hill Country, thin soil over limestone is the norm and most designs call for an aerobic system. Heavy clay presents its own challenge: it drains slowly, so drainfields must be carefully sized and laid out.

Septic Permits in Comal and Guadalupe Counties

New Braunfels lies in two counties. On the Comal County side, septic permits are issued by the Environmental Health office at the Comal County Engineer’s Office on David Jonas Drive. On the Guadalupe County side, permits come from Guadalupe County. The process is the same in both: a site evaluation by a licensed site evaluator, a design prepared by a registered sanitarian or professional engineer, county approval, installation and inspection. We work closely with an engineer we have a great relationship with and will put you in contact with them through our septic design and engineer referral service. The engineer handles the evaluation and design and guides you through the process. If you already have a design, we can price and install from it. We then install the system under our TCEQ OSSF installer license OS0031132, coordinate the county inspections and finish the site. The permit guide covers the details.

Commercial Septic in New Braunfels

Growth along the highways around New Braunfels has placed many businesses on land without sewer service. We have installed multi-tank aerobic systems with large drip fields for commercial buildings, coordinating with the general contractor so the septic work is complete before the parking lot is paved.
