Our Service
Aerobic Septic System Service
Aerobic septic systems are required on many rural and semi-rural properties in Oklahoma County and surrounding areas that are not connected to a municipal sewer system. Unlike conventional septic systems, aerobic systems use an air pump to introduce oxygen into the treatment process, producing a higher-quality effluent that can be safely dispersed through surface sprinklers.
Oklahoma requires aerobic septic systems to be maintained under a service contract with a licensed provider. Precision Plumbing Solutions holds the required Oklahoma license to install, service, and repair aerobic systems throughout the OKC metro and surrounding counties. We offer both one-time service calls and annual maintenance contracts.

Our Process
What to Expect
-
01
Quarterly Inspection Visits
Under Oklahoma's maintenance contract requirements, your aerobic system must be inspected a minimum of four times per year. Our licensed technicians check the air pump, chlorinator, spray heads, control panel, and effluent quality at each visit.
-
02
Chlorine Tablet Replenishment
Aerobic systems use chlorine tablets to disinfect the treated effluent before it is sprayed. We check and replenish the chlorinator at each visit to ensure continuous disinfection.
-
03
Spray Head Inspection
We inspect all spray heads for proper operation, clogs, and damage. Malfunctioning spray heads can create standing water or spray patterns that violate Oklahoma's setback requirements.
-
04
System Performance Report
After each visit, we provide a written service report documenting the system's condition, any repairs made, and any issues that need attention. This documentation is required by Oklahoma DEQ.
-
05
Repair and Emergency Service
If the system alarm activates between scheduled visits, call us. We provide emergency service for aerobic system alarms and can diagnose and repair most common failures — air pump failure, chlorinator issues, and control panel faults — on the same visit.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is an aerobic septic maintenance contract required in Oklahoma?
Yes. Oklahoma law (OAC 252:641) requires all aerobic septic systems to be maintained under a contract with a licensed service provider. The system must be inspected at least four times per year, and service records must be maintained and available for inspection by the Oklahoma DEQ. Operating an aerobic system without a valid maintenance contract can result in fines and required system shutdown.
What does the aerobic system alarm mean?
Aerobic systems have an alarm that activates when the system detects a problem — most commonly a failed air pump, a high water level in the treatment tank, or a chlorinator issue. When the alarm activates, reduce water usage in the home and call us promptly. Do not ignore the alarm — a malfunctioning aerobic system can discharge untreated effluent, which is a health hazard and a regulatory violation.
How long does an aerobic septic system last?
A well-maintained aerobic system can last 20 to 30 years. The air pump — the most mechanically active component — typically needs replacement every 5 to 10 years. The concrete tanks themselves can last indefinitely with proper maintenance. Regular quarterly service is the single most important factor in extending system life.
Can I connect to city sewer if I have an aerobic system?
If municipal sewer service becomes available to your property, you may be able to connect and decommission your aerobic system. This requires a licensed plumber to make the connection and properly abandon the existing system per Oklahoma DEQ requirements. We can handle both the connection and the decommissioning.
