We compared 19 septic tank services in San Antonio on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A septic tank gives little warning before a slow drain turns into a backup. The septic tank services in San Antonio below hold more than 2,900 Google reviews between them, led by Van Delden Wastewater Systems with more than 900, and the busiest names include companies based in Boerne and Adkins rather than in the city itself.

Short answer: Van Delden Wastewater Systems has the largest review base, rated 4.9 from more than 900 Google reviews, with reviewers describing tank cleanings, inspections and a maintenance membership. MJ Central Texas Septic (4.9, more than 800 reviews) and Cisco Septic Service (5.0, more than 700 reviews) are the other deep review bases. No prices are quoted here, so ask for a written price before a truck rolls.

How the scorecards work

The scorecards use public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, ranked against other San Antonio septic companies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What changes septic service pricing in San Antonio

We couldn’t source reliable San Antonio price ranges, so this page quotes none. Price depends on tank size, how easy the lid is to reach, whether you have a conventional or aerobic system, and whether you want a pump out, an inspection, risers or a repair. Ask each company for the total before they arrive, and ask whether a maintenance contract changes the price of future visits.

Who serves your address

Van Delden is based in Boerne and Cisco in Adkins, outside San Antonio, and Superior Plus lists no street address. Superior Plus Septic Service’s site lists Helotes, New Braunfels, Schertz, Boerne and Universal City, and Cisco Septic Service’s site lists La Vernia and Seguin. Searching for a septic tank service near me? Call and confirm your address is on the route.

Questions to ask before a septic visit

  • Do you service conventional tanks, aerobic systems, or both?
  • What is the total price for the pump out, and does it include washing out the tank?
  • Is there a travel charge for my address?
  • Can you install risers so future pumping is easier?
  • How soon can you come if my system alarm is sounding?

Frequently asked questions

Do San Antonio septic companies work on aerobic systems?

Several do. Van Delden Wastewater Systems and MJ Central Texas Septic list aerobic service on their sites, Cisco Septic Service’s site lists aerobic tanks among those it pumps, and a San Antonio Septic LLC reviewer had a conventional system replaced with an aerobic one.

What should I do if my aerobic alarm goes off?

Van Delden’s site advises silencing the alarm and checking the breaker in case power blipped, and says never to switch the system off. If the light stays on, call a company to diagnose it. An MJ Central Texas Septic reviewer had an alarm call fit in quickly and a loose wire fixed.

Can someone add risers to my septic tank?

Superior Plus Septic Service lists riser lid installation as a service, and a reviewer there had risers added after the tank was freshly dug out. An MJ Central Texas Septic reviewer waited about two months longer than expected for risers, so ask about timing.

Do these companies come from outside San Antonio?

Van Delden Wastewater Systems is based in Boerne and Cisco Septic Service in Adkins, while Superior Plus Septic Service lists no street address. Confirm service to your address and ask about any travel charge.

Our recommendation

Van Delden Wastewater Systems is the safe default on the strength of its review base, with MJ Central Texas Septic and Cisco Septic Service close behind on volume. If you want a smaller operation or need risers, Superior Plus Septic Service is worth a call. Get the price and the timeline in writing before work starts.
