Filters & Valves
Clogged or failed effluent filters are among the most common repair calls we handle. A clean filter keeps solids in the tank and protects the drain field.

Septic Repair in Harford County, MD
John's Septic Service performs septic repair on septic systems throughout Harford County, Cecil County and Baltimore County. Replacing a septic system is expensive, and septic repair can help prolong the life of your system. It might be something as simple as replacing a filter, valve or pump.
Regular septic tank service, including septic tank pumping and a periodic septic inspection, can catch small problems before they become big ones. If you are experiencing septic tank overflow or a leaking drain field, it may be possible to repair the problem.

What We Repair
Every component of your system, diagnosed and fixed right.
Pumps & Controls
Pump failure doesn't always mean replacement. We diagnose the full control system — float switches, alarms, and timers — before recommending the fix.
Drain Fields & Overflow
If you're seeing wet spots in the yard or slow drains throughout the house, the drain field may be saturated or damaged. We assess options for repair before recommending replacement.
Tips for Maintaining Your Septic System
You can avoid repairs and keep septic systems in good shape by following a few simple tips:
Do not put too much water into the septic system. Typical water use is about 50 gallons per day for each person in the family. Avoid running the dishwasher or washing machine at the same time as people are showering.
Do not flush materials (sanitary napkins, applicators, cigarette butts and so on) other than domestic wastewater.
Limit the use of your garbage disposal. Consider composting.
Don't pour grease or cooking oils down the sink drain.
Make a diagram showing the location of your tank, drain field, and repair area — we can help you with this.
Install a watertight riser over the septic tank to simplify access.
Have the effluent filter in the septic tank cleaned periodically by a professional.
Have the solids pumped out of the septic tank every two years.
Maintain dense grass or other adequate vegetative cover over the drain field.
Direct downspouts away from the septic system to avoid oversaturation.
Keep automobiles and heavy equipment off the system.
