Our Story

From a One-Man Pump Company to a Full-Service Septic Provider

Founded by Gordon “Joe” Harris in 1975, Harris Septic began as Harris Pumps. Over the years, we’ve grown from a small operation into a full-service septic and rental company, adding pumping in the 1980s and portable toilets in 2000.

Through it all, we’ve stayed true to our roots: clear communication, dependable service, and a hands-on approach that puts our customers first.
