Commercial and Residential Liquid Waste Service in San Marcos
As the Hays County seat and home to Texas State University, San Marcos supports a dense mix of restaurants, apartment complexes, food trucks and event venues. Many commercial kitchens rely on grease traps or interceptors to manage fats, oils and grease. A trap that isn’t pumped on schedule backs up, smells, and can push grease into the city’s collection system.
Outside the urban core, many homes along the Ranch Road 12 corridor and in the countryside toward Martindale, Fentress and Staples rely on septic tanks and aerobic systems. AJ Liquid Waste Haulers serves both sides of San Marcos: recurring grease trap pumping for food service businesses, and thorough, metered septic pumping for homeowners.
What Makes San Marcos Different
- A spring-fed river. The San Marcos River rises from springs at Spring Lake and is fed by the Edwards Aquifer. It is home to protected species, including Texas wild rice and the fountain darter. Well-maintained septic systems and grease traps help keep runoff and wastewater out of it.
- High-volume kitchens. Restaurants near the Square, along I-35 and around campus run long hours during the semester and need more frequent grease trap service than a typical neighborhood cafe.
- Records for compliance. Food service businesses need to show their traps are maintained. We provide service documentation every visit so your records are ready when an inspector asks.
- Rentals and investment properties. Student rentals and investment homes on septic see heavy use. A planned pumping schedule can reduce the risk of avoidable disruptions between tenants.
