Aerobic Septic Repair in Weatherford, TX

Most aerobic system failures are one of five things: a burned-out aerator motor, a clogged or empty chlorinator, a buried or clogged spray head, a control panel that's stopped triggering the alarm, or a float switch stuck in the pump tank. We carry common parts on the truck for all five, because a system down for a week is a system out of compliance for a week.

Price range

The diagnostic visit is $89, waived if you hire us for the repair. From there: aerator motor replacement runs $350 to $650 depending on motor size and whether the diffuser needs replacing too. Chlorinator repair or tablet feeder replacement runs $120 to $300. A single spray head is $45 to $120 installed; most jobs need 2 to 4 heads replaced or adjusted. Control panel or alarm repair runs $150 to $450, with the wide range because some panels are proprietary to the system brand and take longer to source.

How a repair call goes

1. You call or send the form and describe what you're seeing: alarm going off, smell, standing water, mowed-down spray heads.
2. We give you a rough window based on what you describe, and whether it sounds like an emergency (raw sewage surfacing) or a wait-a-day issue (alarm chirping, no surface water).
3. Diagnostic visit. We test the aerator, chlorinator, spray pattern and panel to isolate the failed part.
4. You get a written quote before any part gets replaced. No surprise invoices.
5. Repair happens same visit if the part's on the truck, which covers the majority of aerator, spray head and float switch jobs.
6. We re-test the full system after the fix, not just the part we touched.
7. If you're not under contract, we'll note your inspection is due to keep you clear on the next mandated visit.

What makes a repair harder

Buried risers cost the most time. If a lid's been covered by fill dirt or a driveway extension, we have to locate it before we can even start, and that can turn a 45-minute repair into a half-day job with a probe rod. Second: proprietary control panels. Some builders installed systems with panels that only the original manufacturer stocks parts for, which can push a 2-day repair to a week if the part has to ship. Third: root intrusion into spray lines, which shows up more on older Parker County properties with mature oak trees near the field. Fourth, and specific to this area's caliche and shallow rock soil, aerator diffusers clog faster where iron content in well water is high, since iron bacteria builds a film on the diffuser stone.

How long a repair takes

A straightforward part swap, aerator motor or spray heads, is 45 minutes to 90 minutes on-site. Control panel replacement runs half a day if the part is in stock, longer if it has to ship. We tell you which category your repair falls into before we start.

One fact that sets our repairs apart: we re-test all seven inspection points after every repair, not just the failed part, so a repair visit doubles as a free spot-check on the rest of the system.
