27+ Years Keeping Central Texas Flowing
27+ Years Keeping Central Texas Flowing
Integrity
We tell you the truth about your system, even when it is not what you hoped to hear. Honest advice at every step. Sometimes that means telling you a system has years left when you were braced to replace it, and sometimes it means the opposite.
Reliability
We show up when we say we will and finish the job right. Central Texas counts on us and we deliver. If something changes, you get a phone call ahead of time, not an empty driveway and an excuse afterward.
Quality
We install and repair with durable materials and proven methods so your system lasts for years. Clean gravel, properly rated pipe, and tanks set level on a prepared base. The parts nobody ever sees are the ones that decide how long a system holds up.
Experience
More than 27 years in the field means we have seen it all and know how to fix it right the first time. There is very little a Central Texas septic system can do that has not already come across our yard at some point.
Customer First
We listen to your concerns, work around your schedule, and treat your property like our own. That means keeping equipment off ground that does not need driving on, and leaving the site graded and cleaned up when the work is done.
Safety
We follow safe digging, handling, and disposal practices to protect your family, your land, and our crew. Lines get located before we dig, waste is hauled and disposed of properly, and the site stays secure the whole time the ground is open.

Our Story
Built on Honest Work and Real Results
2020
Dusty Rhodes Septic Founded
Tim and Lois started with one goal: honest, dependable septic service for Central Texas families. One truck, a phone Lois answered herself, and a promise to tell people the truth about what their system actually needed.
2022
Expanded Beyond Septic
Added land clearing, driveways, and heavy equipment work, becoming Dusty Rhodes Septic and More. Customers kept asking whether the machines that set their tank could also clear a pad or cut in a drive. The answer was yes, so the name changed to match.
2024
Growing Reputation
Word of mouth across Central Texas built a steady base of repeat homeowners and businesses. In small towns your reputation arrives before your truck does, which is why we have never had to advertise our way out of a bad job.
2026
Still Family Owned
Twenty seven years in, still run by Tim and Lois, still doing the work the right way. Same owners, same standards, and a lot of customers who have now had us out three or four times over the years.
01
Inspect
We inspect your system and test where needed so we understand exactly what is going on underground. No guessing, and no digging until we know what we are digging for. That is how a small service call stays a small service call.
02
Plan
We walk you through your options and give a clear, honest estimate. No pressure and no surprises. You get the number before the work starts, and if we find something unexpected once the ground is open, you hear about it before we go any further.
03
Complete
We do the work right, clean up after ourselves, and make sure your system is flowing before we leave. Backfilled, graded, and tested. We will also show you where your lids are and roughly when you should expect to need us next.
