That Septic Problem? It’s Probably Your Pump.
Most septic backups, alarms, and failures in the Austin area come down to one thing — the pump. Real Texas Plumbing specializes in diagnosing and fixing the part most plumbers overlook.
The Most Common Septic Problem
Not the tank, not the drainfield. It’s usually the pump. The pump is the part of your septic system that fails most often, but it's also the part most plumbers overlook. When it starts going out, the symptoms feel like a full system failure: alarms going off, slow drains, and backups in the yard. Nine times out of ten, the tank is fine. The pump just needs someone who actually knows how to diagnose it.
Main Parts of a Septic System
Septic Pump
The pump is what physically moves wastewater from the tank to the drain field. When it fails, nothing flows, and that's usually when alarms start going off and backups start happening.
Septic Tank
The tank is the buried container that holds wastewater and lets solids settle out before liquid moves on through the system. It needs to be pumped out periodically, but it rarely breaks down on its own.
Drainfield
The drain field is a network of buried pipes that distributes treated water back into the soil. It works passively, so when there's a problem here it's usually a sign that something upstream failed first.

Great service! I’m extremely happy with the experience. It was very easy to schedule, they arrived when they said they would within an 1 hr window so I didn’t have to wait around all day, and they were able to fix my issue in short time. Very happy with the work and the fair price, will definitely use them going forward and recommending to everyone.
I found Efrain four years ago and have used him for all of my plumbing needs since. Reasonably priced, responds quickly, and does a great job! I have used him to find and fix a leak near the valve by the street, replace exterior faucets, and replace a busted water heater. I consider him “my guy” for all plumbing needs.
Efron was great! Got right back to me. Answered my questions. Was reasonably priced & punctual. Highly recommend!!
