Why Caddo Mills is different
New subdivisions off FM 1565 and CR 2160 have brought hundreds of new septic systems into service in the last few years, most of them aerobic because the Blackland clay in this pocket rarely percs. At the same time, the older homes on acreage between town and Union Valley still run on conventional systems from the 80s and 90s, some of which are reaching the end of their drain field life.

If you are building on a new lot, plan on a full aerobic system with either spray or drip disposal. Get your soil evaluation booked early — Hunt County site evaluators are busy and can add weeks to your build timeline if you wait. Details on the process: septic installation.

What we see on older Caddo Mills homes
Aging drain fields on 1 to 5 acre lots, effluent pumps that got flooded during last spring's rain, and aerobic systems whose service contracts lapsed when the previous owner sold. A one-time inspection usually tells us what is real versus what is cosmetic. Backups after heavy rain are almost never the tank itself, they are groundwater in a saturated field.
Same day service to Caddo Mills is normal, not exceptional, because we work the I-30 corridor every day.
