Frank J. Van Delden began installing septic systems in 1937 and dedicated his life to building the business until his passing in 1955. At that time, septic system installation often required blasting through rock, and you can visit our office to see some of the original blasting boxes used before the advent of modern machinery and advanced treatment systems.
Originally located on Nogalitos Street in San Antonio, the business was marked by a large red metal “V,” which inspired our current logo. In 2020, we continued this tradition by constructing a new “V” sign at our current location.
Frank’s son, Gary Van Delden, took over the business operations and successfully guided the company’s growth until his retirement in 1989. During this period, Texas implemented regulations that significantly improved septic systems and standards. Gary also established new offices off Rochelle Street, which now serves as the location of the Leon Vista Trailhead in San Antonio.
Gary’s son, Garrett Van Delden, began working in the family business during high school, and his wife, Pam, joined the team in 1981. Together, they expanded the business to include septic tank cleaning, inspections, aerobic system installation, and maintenance. In 1990, Van Delden Wastewater Systems became the first company in Bexar County to install an aerobic system with spray distribution.
In 1998, they built our current location right off IH-10 in Boerne. Pam received the NAWT Excellence in Service Award in 2015, and together they established an outstanding reputation for the business that continues to thrive today.
Courtney and Chad Van Delden spent much of their childhood at the old shop, gaining invaluable experience during their summer work in high school. They learned the importance of the principle “do things right or not at all,” a core value that guides their leadership today.
Courtney joined the company full time in 2003, taking on roles in office administration and inspection. She currently oversees the pumping division, the aerobic division, and overall office administration.
Chad joined the company full time in 2007 as the estimator for major repairs and system installations. He also manages the repairs and installation crews and oversees the company’s fleet of vehicles and equipment.
Now, Courtney and Chad own the business and handle daily operations, upholding the excellent reputation established by previous generations. Their top priorities are quality and service, which has led to the most highly trained technicians and state-of-the-art systems for efficiency and effective customer communication.
