Septic Services · York County
Septic work is mostly a township and farm-country job here. Statewide, about two thirds of on-lot systems are more than 20 years old and more than a quarter are past 40, so age alone puts plenty of tanks and drain fields on the watch list. Several York County townships, including Spring Garden and North Codorus, have their own on-lot sewage ordinances.
A new or repaired system needs a permit from the municipality's Sewage Enforcement Officer, who is certified by DEP and handles soil and perc testing but can't design the system. For a home sale, a septic inspection is voluntary under state rules, so ask whether the inspector follows the PSMA standard and opens the tank.
Pump it before it tells you it needs pumping. Septic systems are patient right up until they aren't.
