Our family-owned company specializes in septic services.
In rural areas where a municipal wastewater system is unavailable, residential and commercial properties rely on septic systems. Consisting of a main sewer line, tank, and drain field, a standard septic system holds waste in its tank for treatment and then releases the effluent (wastewater) into the environment via the drain field, allowing for further filtering and treatment by natural processes. This system requires skilled professionals to design, install, and service it, so turn to our septic company for your septic system’s needs.
At Walters Environmental Services, we are a family-owned septic company serving the York, Pennsylvania community. We have years of experience and a long history in the septic industry, as our owner’s father began his journey in the industry more than 50 years ago. We’re proud of this legacy and continue to bring stellar septic services to the residential and commercial property owners we serve.
We offer comprehensive services at our septic company, including septic system design, excavation, installation, inspections, cleaning/pumping, repairs, and replacement. We also have an entire plumbing department to take care of your plumbing needs. Whatever services you require, you can trust our highly skilled and trained professionals to handle it with care and attention to detail.

Hidden
How often should my septic tank be pumped?
Most septic tanks need to be pumped every few years, but the best timetable depends on the size of your home, the volume of your tank, and how much water you consume. When you contact us about your septic needs, we will take the time to assess your current system and provide you with a timetable that works best.
Are there signs I should watch for that indicate a need for service?
Common signs that your septic system might not be working as it should include slow drains, bad smells, gurgling plumbing, standing water around the drain field, and sewage backups.
Are there certain things I shouldn't flush or put down the drain?
We recommended not flushing wipes, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, or pharmaceuticals. Also, it’s best not to put grease, certain chemicals, or other non-biodegradable materials down the drain. Doing so can clog the system and lead to the need for repairs.
How long does a septic tank last?
A septic system can provide reliable service for many years when installed and maintained appropriately. How long exactly depends on a few factors, including design, soil, use, and level of upkeep.
