Our Various Septic Services
About Us
Farmer's Septic operates as a family owned business out of Moon, Virginia.
Our journey began in 1987 when Allen Farmer founded Farmer's Septic Services, Inc. With a legacy in the septic industry, Allen brought his prior experience and extensive knowledge to the company. He worked for his grandfather, John Bing, 10 years prior to starting Farmer’s Septic Service. This familial connection and the years spent learning from his grandfather instilled in him a deep understanding of the septic business, which he used as a strong foundation to establish the thriving company we know today.
At the start, we focused on conventional septic systems, however as the industry evolved, we recognized the importance of alternative septic systems and positioned ourselves at the forefront of innovation. We began to install cutting-edge systems such as recirculating sandfilters, mounds, and experimental systems in Mathews County, Virginia. As regulations changed, we proactively adapted and expanded our expertise in alternative septic solutions, ensuring that we stay ahead of the curve and provide our customers in Mathews, Gloucester, and Middlesex, Virginia with the most advanced options available.
Each customer's needs are unique and that's why we offer a wide range of services from septic tank pumping, septic tank inspections, to septic tank maintenance services, and more, to cater to specific system requirements. Whether you need a new septic system installation, repairs, inspections, or assistance with alternative septic systems, our skilled technicians are here to help.
Client Recommendations
I git a bid from Farmer's Septic for a new septic system to be installed. They came in far lower than another company. The install took a total of 3 days, from start to finish. Great work, Great experience. I highly recommend Farmer's.

Ross from Farmer’s Septic did the one-year inspection on our system in November last year and ensured everything was working as expected. He even resolved a couple of minor installation issues (a third-party did the install), so the system was even better than before.
In April this year, I perceived there was a potential issue, and I wanted to get ahead of it.
Ross came back out and confirmed everything was still working as expected. This is my first septic system, so I was being overly cautious.
I really appreciate how understanding he was and for the time he took not only to come by but to explain everything. I would have been happy to pay a service fee for their troubles, but Farmer’s chose not to charge.
Highly recommended.

When we bought our new home, we had no idea how to service our Clearstream septic system. Mr. Farmer & his staff came out and serviced our system for the first two years for free, as they were able get Clearstream to honor the contract giving us two free years of service. My husband didn’t want anyone on the property while we weren’t home, so they worked around our schedule. They have put up with all my crazy questions, and even came out SAME day to our home in Henrico (1hr 45min from their office) when our septic alarm went off. Russ, their technician, was so kind and knowledgeable, and he took his time explaining what he was fixing and why. Did I mention how reasonable their yearly maintenance fees are? The lovely ladies at the office always return my calls, and are wonderful to deal with. I rarely write reviews, but felt I needed to, as this company has really been good to us.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost to have your septic tank pumped in our area is typically $300 to $400 per 1000 gallons.
A conventional system should be inspected every 3-5 years. Typically the septic tank needs to be pumped every 5 years. An alternative system needs to be inspected at least once a year.
Yes, all septic tanks require periodic pumping as part of routine maintenance. Over time, solid waste and sludge accumulate in the tank, reducing capacity and potentially causing issues if not addressed. Pumping removes these accumulated solids, preventing clogs and ensuring the proper functioning of the septic system. The pumping frequency depends on factors such as tank size, household size, and water usage, but it is generally recommended every 3 to 5 years. Regular pumping helps maintain the efficiency and longevity of the septic system, preventing costly repairs and environmental contamination.
