About J. Gallagher Septic and Wastewater Control, Inc.

I started pumping septic tanks when I was 17 years old during high school on the weekends and full-time after I graduated. I really didn't have any plans for college, so I stuck with it, not realizing then how much I was learning about the industry, the skills I was developing, and most importantly, the people and relationships I was building house after house, tank after tank, family after family. Eventually, I knew that I could do this on my own. So in 1988, at age 25, after working for a septic company for 7 years, I set off on my own, risking an excellent job, great pay, and most importantly, a roof over my head. I was determined to make it work, and now, years later, I'm still building relationships one septic tank at a time.
