56 Years of Showing Up

John's Septic Service is a family owned and operated business serving Harford County, Cecil County and Baltimore County since 1969. It all began when the first John Call started the business with little more than a 1957 Dodge 1½ ton truck equipped with a homemade, 1,000 gallon steel tank, and enough integrity and old-fashioned work ethic to fill it up, many times over. Four generations later, we're still answering the call — state certified for septic inspections, fully insured, and ready for emergencies.

Ministers of Muck

Septic Haulers, also known as Honey Dippers because our earlier haulers dipped barrels into outdoor toilets to empty them, are now Ministers of Muck. A 4th generation of the family now helps operate John's Septic Service with gleaming new equipment that offsets the dirty image of old.

Named Ministers of Muck by the local Harford County newspaper and nicknamed Honest John's by our constituents, we are proud to provide a much needed service. We were also featured in Pumper Magazine as Always Answering the Call.
