Comprehensive Services for Calvert Residents


1. Routine Septic Tank Pumping

The Calvert County Health Department recommends pumping your tank every 3 to 5 years. Regular maintenance prevents sludge from entering your drain field, saving you thousands in replacement costs. We serve all major areas including:

  • Northern Calvert: Dunkirk, Owings, and Chesapeake Beach.
  • Central Calvert: Prince Frederick, Huntingtown, and St. Leonard.
  • Southern Calvert: Lusby, Solomons, and Broomes Island.

2. BAT (Nitrogen Reduction) System Service

If your home is located within the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area (typically within 1,000 feet of tidal waters), Maryland law may require a Best Available Technology (BAT) system. We are MDE-certified to install, maintain, and provide the required annual inspections for these nitrogen-reducing units.

3. Real Estate Septic Inspections

Buying or selling a home in Calvert County? We provide thorough, professional septic certifications required for property transfers, ensuring the system meets all county health codes before you close.

4. Emergency Repairs & Perc Testing

If you have slow drains, backups, or need a Perc Test for a new build or expansion, our team is dispatched daily throughout the county to provide fast, reliable solutions.
