What we know about the ground in Johnson County

West of Cleburne and around Godley you find sandy loam and limestone where conventional systems still work; east toward Alvarado and Venus the clay thickens and aerobic systems take over. Godley and Joshua have a lot of new builds on one- to five-acre lots — our bread and butter.

Johnson County sits right in Tornado Alley's busiest stretch; a below-ground Hausner shelter in the yard or an above-ground safe room in the garage is a common add-on to a new build here.

Permits: septic permits in Johnson County go through Johnson County's OSSF program (Public Works) in Cleburne. We file the permit, schedule the inspection, and stay until it passes.

Common questions in Johnson County
Do I need a permit for a septic system in Johnson County?Yes. Every new or replacement on-site sewage system in Texas needs a permit from the local authority — in Johnson County that's Johnson County's OSSF program (Public Works) in Cleburne. We handle it as part of the job.
Conventional or aerobic — which will my lot need?It depends on the soil, the lot size and the number of bedrooms. A licensed site & soil evaluation answers it; ours is free with the estimate. More septic questions
How long does a storm shelter take to install?Most Hausner in-ground shelters are set, backfilled and finished in one day. More shelter questions
Do you charge to come out and look?No. Site visit, soil evaluation and written estimate are free anywhere in Johnson County.
Can you put in the septic and a storm shelter on the same new build in Johnson County?Yes, and it's common around Godley and Joshua, where a lot of new homes go up on one- to five-acre lots. We can set the shelter while we're already on site with the excavator for the septic, which saves a mobilization trip. West of Cleburne the sandy loam often takes a conventional system; toward Alvarado and Venus the clay usually means aerobic.
