Yes. Septic Cheetah is fully licensed and insured for septic work in Texas. We carry the coverage required to protect you and our crew.

Question 6

What should I do if my septic system is backing up?

Accepted Answer

Stop using water immediately and call our emergency line. Do not try to clear it yourself, as that can make the problem worse and create health hazards. Our team will assess the system and resolve it safely.

Question 7

Do you provide warranties on your work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We stand behind our work with written warranties. Coverage depends on the type of service, and we explain what is included before we start.

Question 8

How much does septic repair cost?

Accepted Answer

Septic repair cost in Central Texas depends on the failed component and site access. Minor float or pump repairs cost less than line excavation or tank work. We diagnose first and give an upfront repair estimate—typically far less than full system replacement when the tank and field are still sound.

Question 9

How much does septic installation cost in Texas?

Accepted Answer

New septic system installation in Central Texas commonly runs roughly $10,000 to $20,000 or more. Conventional vs. aerobic design, soil conditions, setbacks, access, and OSSF permit fees all affect price. We quote after a site visit so you get a number for your lot, not a generic online estimate.

Question 10

How often should I get a septic inspection?

Accepted Answer

For most homes, every 3 to 5 years is a good guideline. Aerobic OSSF systems in Williamson County require regular professional maintenance, often every few months. Schedule an inspection before buying or selling a home as well.

Question 11

What are signs my drain field is failing?

Accepted Answer

Standing water over the field, sewage odor outside, slow drains throughout the house, and backups right after pumping are common warning signs. Unusually green grass only over the field can also indicate trouble. Call us before it worsens.

Question 12

What is an aerobic septic system?

Accepted Answer

An aerobic septic system uses an Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU) to treat wastewater more thoroughly before it disperses, often through spray irrigation. They are common on challenging lots in Texas. Williamson County requires a registered OSSF provider for ongoing maintenance.

Question 13

Do you offer emergency septic repair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency septic repair across our Central Texas service area, with same-day dispatch when scheduling allows. Call (512) 969-9655 for backups, alarms, and urgent OSSF failures.
