Septic Services for Arlington
Arlington is unusual among the places we serve because septic here is the exception rather than the rule. Municipal sewer covers most of the city, and the properties still on septic tend to be in older subdivisions on the south side, out toward the county line, or in the surrounding communities of Dalworthington Gardens and Pantego. Most of those systems are aerobic. A surprising number of Arlington homeowners are not certain which they are on.
Older Subdivisions and Missing Paperwork
The septic systems still working in south Arlington generally serve houses that have changed hands several times, and paperwork rarely survives that. It is common for us to arrive at a property where nobody knows the system type, when it was last serviced, or where the lids are buried.
Tarrant County Public Health holds permit records for systems installed since permitting began, and for a system of any reasonable age there may be a file with the original design in it. That is worth requesting before you pay anyone to go looking, because an as-built drawing turns a search into a short walk to the right spot.
Where no record exists, which happens with the oldest installations, we locate the tank on site and record what we find. From that point the property has a history again, and every subsequent visit is quicker and cheaper than the first.
Older South Arlington Subdivisions
The systems still in use in south Arlington are mostly aerobic and mostly serving houses on lots smaller than the acreage properties we work on elsewhere. A smaller lot means the spray field has less room, so the margin for a partially failing field is thinner than it would be out in the county.
It also means access can be tighter. Getting a truck close enough to the tank sometimes needs planning where a driveway is narrow or a gate is the only route to the back. If you know access is awkward, mention it when booking and we will send an appropriate vehicle.

Great company. Got here quickly on July 4th weekend which was great. Fair price and excellent service. Explained things pumped tanks replaced aerator pump and found a fitting on aerator loose and are fixing that at no cost. They wanted to make sure everything is in working order. Definitely recommend them!

The Service technicians are always on site when they say they will be and work hard to get the job done right the 1st time. We look forward to our continued working relationship!
These people stepped up when I was out of hope and exhausted. True Christians that cared, showed mercy, compassion, and went to work to do a job well done by their crew members. A female owned business. I can never thank them enough for everything they did for me. I love y'all & thank you!
Frequently Asked Questions About Septic Services in Arlington
There are no records for my Arlington property's septic system. What can I do?
Ask Tarrant County Public Health whether they hold a permit file, since it may include the original design showing where everything sits. If no record exists we locate the tank on site and document it, so the property has a history from then on.
Who handles septic permitting in Arlington?
Tarrant County Public Health oversees on-site sewage facilities here. Pumping needs no permit, but installations, replacements and alterations do.
How quickly can you reach Arlington?
About twenty-five minutes from our Burleson yard. We serve the south side of Arlington and the communities near the county line regularly.
My lot is small and access is tight. Is that a problem?
Usually not, but it is worth telling us when you book. We need to get a truck within hose reach of the tank, and knowing about a narrow driveway or gated rear access in advance means we bring the right vehicle first time.
Can I connect to city sewer instead of keeping my septic system?
Where a main is available, that is a question for the City of Arlington, since it depends on whether a connection exists in your street and what the connection charges are. It is worth investigating if your system is nearing the end of its life.
Do you work in Dalworthington Gardens and Pantego?
Yes, both, along with the surrounding areas near the county line where septic systems are more common than in Arlington proper.
