About Our St. Mary’s Team

Local Experts for Every Septic Need

Southern Shore Septic has proudly served St. Mary’s County residents and businesses for over two decades. Our local team understands the unique soil conditions, regulations, and terrain of Southern Maryland — from the tidal shores of the Potomac and Patuxent rivers to the rural farmlands of Leonardtown, California, and Lexington Park.


Whether you need a routine pump-out to keep your system healthy, a comprehensive inspection before a home sale, or an emergency repair that can’t wait, our licensed technicians arrive equipped and ready. We work on all septic system types: conventional gravity systems, mound systems, engineered nitrogen-reducing systems (ENR), and aerobic treatment units (ATUs) — all common throughout the Chesapeake watershed area.


Every job we complete in St. Mary’s County is performed in compliance with Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) and St. Mary’s County Health Department standards. We pull the permits, handle the paperwork, and give you a clear, honest assessment of your system — with no surprise fees.




Southern Shore Septic came out the same morning I called — on a Saturday. The tech explained everything clearly, pumped the tank, and we were back to normal before noon. Couldn’t ask for better service in St. Mary’s.
