Services
Septic Tank Pumping
Our professional septic tank pumping service maintains system efficiency by removing accumulated solids and scum. Using calibrated measurements, we determine optimal pumping intervals based on sludge levels rather than arbitrary schedules. This essential maintenance prevents system failures and extends service life while protecting groundwater quality.
Septic System Installation
We design and install complete septic systems tailored to property requirements and local regulations. Our installations incorporate modern materials and techniques for long-term reliability. We handle all aspects from initial planning through final inspections, ensuring proper drainage and environmental compliance for residential and commercial properties.
Septic System Repair
Our repair services address common septic issues including drain field failures and baffle blockages. We utilize electronic diagnostics to identify problems quickly and implement effective solutions. From emergency backups to gradual performance decline, our technicians restore system functionality while minimizing property disruption.
Septic System Consultation
We provide expert guidance for septic system challenges and real estate transactions. Our consultations include comprehensive evaluations, dye testing, and regulatory compliance assessments. We help clients understand system condition, maintenance requirements, and upgrade options with clear, actionable recommendations.
Electronic Locating
Our electronic locating service quickly identifies buried septic components using specialized equipment. This non-invasive technology precisely maps system elements without extensive digging. It's particularly valuable for older properties where system locations may be undocumented or obscured by landscaping.

Joe and the team at County Septic were really truly top notch. Obviously no homeowner in their right mind WANTS to spend money on a new septic system. But sadly in our case our anitquated systems time had come :(

We had a productive conversation and within three days we had a very detailed and thorough proposal. The team at County Septic are incredibly knowledable and took the time to educate us on the design, installation and permiting of septic tanks. Finally they

I had County Septic Tank do a full report on my existing septic system. They were highly professional, extremely careful and took time to explain how septic fields work and why ours was in great working order. I would without question recommend them! Thank you County Septic Tank., Inc

Been in Business for three generations. My grandfather started by selling dry ice, coal and pumping cesspools. Then in 1956 my Father started County Septic Tank Company. We do Septic Inspections to full Evaluations. Basic Septic Service to Installations and repairs. I didn't earn this review posted for my own company but I'll work hard and do my best to earn yours.

Septic went down on Sunday and regular Septic service advised me that they could be there by Thursday. Called this company and they called right back, were there next morning, figured out the problem and I was back in business that afternoon. Very professional, explained what was necessary with associated costs and repaired it. Highly recommend
