With over 40 years of experience in septic tank installation and service, Eagle and Son Septic Service is a family business, consisting of the owner Nathan Eagle, his son, and a good friend, who's just like one of the family. Nathan got started in the business at 15 years old when he was offered a job in the septic industry. 10 years later, in 1987, he started his own business. More than 40 years later, he is an expert in the field and focuses his experience on providing a personal and personable relationship with each customer.
"Nathan Eagle was wonderful to work with. I had quotes from other companies including one that gave me a multi-page contract with all kinds of exceptions so one really didn't know the final price, and then I received a quote from Eagle. Gave me understandable quotes that included all I needed. Due to our new septic not being at least 100' from our well, he changed his quote to install a BAT septic system per Baltimore County. His second quote was more than I wanted to spend, but the county had a grant program with funding available that paid for most of the cost of the new tank and its installation. He was usually available when I called or texted. A hard-working person who's actually hands-on."

"We hired AJ Michaels to do our yearly service to our steam boiler, they came out on a Wednesday and performed the annual maintenance. Friday, no heat! They sent another tech out on Sunday to tell us that the return lines were blocked, thus hindering the performance of our unit. The following Saturday, thus far,a week with no heat in January, to give us an estimate on replacing the blocked return pipe with new copper pipe. We get an estimate for the job, $8,400 dollars, WOW first RED FLAG! The pipe they are replacing is roughly 50 feet of exposed pipe in our basement, so the estimate seemed ridiculously high, so we asked for a description of the work being done (hours of labor, price of materials) and we were told that AJ Michaels DOES NOT provide a itemized report of services provided, BAM! SECOND RED FLAG!! Any professional service provider should provide a detailed itemization of what services you are paying for, and as a consumer, you should ask for that so you know what you are paying for. I emailed the estimator and questioned the excessive price tag (after doing a simple google search to find out that we can get a brand new unit installed for roughly 10k) his response that it was going to take 3 days to complete the job. I am by no means a professional in the HVAC industry, but taking 3 days to remove and reinstall 50 ft of exposed pipe seemed outrageous, so I asked if they could do any better with the price. He came back with 2 days of labor, instead of three, and drop the hourly wage from $200 an hour to $190 an hr, taking us down from $8,400 to $5,200, BAM!!! THIRD RED FLAG!!! Why did he not give us the $3,200 break the first time? I believe it was because he knew we did not have heat, and we had to have the work done! AJ Michaels was taking advantage of our situation in a time of need. We have since received a detailed written estimate from another company (40ft of 1 1/4 inch pipe, 6 elbows, 2 tees, 2 unions and 4 to 5 hrs of labor) ready for this...$2,500. You decide if you want to use AL Michaels in the future, but if you do, I strongly recommend that you get a detailed estimate if materials and projected labor costs and don't allow them to price gouge you like they tried to do to me. I, personally would look into another company that is about taking care of their customers and not padding their pocket!"

Septic tank cleanings or pump outs FAQs
Wastewater from your home from your showers, toilets, sink drains, and washing machines flows to your septic tank. When wastewater enters your septic tank, it divides into three parts sludge, water, and scum. Outlet and inlet pipe positions and baffles keep sludge and scum from leaving the tank. Wastewater, the effluent, moves down pipes to the drain field.
If a septic tank is not pumped, it can lead to serious issues. The accumulation of sludge and scum will eventually overflow into the drain field, causing blockages and system failure. Pipes may become clogged, leading to sewage backups in your home. Pumps can also break due to excessive buildup, and the drain field may become damaged, requiring costly repairs or replacement.
Signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped include unpleasant odors around your property, slow draining sinks and toilets, gurgling sounds in the plumbing, and sewage backups in your home. You may also notice standing water or damp spots near the septic tank or drain field. If you observe any of these signs, it's important to schedule a pumping promptly to prevent system failure.
Septic tank odors are typically caused by gases produced during the breakdown of organic waste in the tank. If these gases escape, it can indicate a problem such as a crack in the tank, a clogged drain field, or issues with the venting system. Odors can also result from overflows due to a full tank. Addressing septic tank odors promptly is important to prevent more serious issues.
You should pump your septic tank every three to five years, depending on factors like tank size and household size. Larger households generate more wastewater and may require more frequent pumping. For example, a family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank may need pumping every three years, while a smaller household with a larger tank might extend to five years. Regular maintenance ensures optimal system performance.
