Our Services

Septic System Service

Benson has grown a lot over the past decade, but most of the homes and properties here still run on septic. Whether you’re dealing with an aging system on an older lot or putting in a new one on a fresh build, you need a contractor who knows Johnston County soil.

Ricky Holland has worked properties in this area since before the I-40 interchange brought new growth to Benson. As a Grade IV Certified Installer and Inspector, he evaluates and services systems at the highest level the state recognizes.

Whether it’s a repair on an older system or a brand new installation on a developing lot, you get a septic system service contractor who knows what this soil does in every season.

Waste Management Service

A well-maintained septic tank works quietly in the background. A neglected one makes itself known with slow drains, wet spots in the yard, or smells you can’t ignore. By the time you notice those signs, the fix is usually more expensive than the maintenance would have been.

Precision Septic waste management service pumps residential and commercial tanks across Johnston County. For homeowners who would rather stay ahead of problems, a maintenance contract keeps your system on a schedule built around your household’s actual usage.

Benson properties with older tanks especially benefit from consistent monitoring. You find out what your system needs before it becomes an emergency, not after.

Plumber

Not every backup means your tank is full. Sometimes the issue is a blocked line between the house and the system, and the only way to know for sure is to have someone who can check both sides.

Ricky is one of the few contractors in the area who carries an NC unlimited plumbing license on top of his septic certifications. That means he can follow the problem from your kitchen drain all the way to the tank without calling in a second company. One diagnosis, one visit, one invoice.

In Benson’s historic neighborhoods, where original plumbing connects to systems that have been in the ground for decades, that kind of all-in-one expertise makes a real difference.

Drainage Service

Benson sits right where the Piedmont meets the Coastal Plain, and that transition shows up in the soil. Some lots drain fast, some hold water for days, and a few do both depending on the season. When standing water starts creeping toward your septic system, it’s time to address it.

Precision Septic drainage service brings four decades of excavation experience and the equipment to reroute water away from your drain field, correct grading issues, and solve runoff problems on Johnston County properties.

You get a drainage fix built around your specific lot, not a one-size-fits-all approach. The soil in this part of Johnston County has its own personality, and experience with it matters.

The Rich History of Benson

Benson exists because of a railroad and a man with 402 acres. Alfred Monroe “Mim” Benson bought the land in 1874 along the old Smithfield-Fayetteville Road, and when the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad cut through in 1886, a town followed. Benson was officially incorporated in 1887.

The entrepreneurs and farmers who settled here built a downtown that still stands. In 1984, 54 acres of the town center were placed on the National Register of Historic Places, one of the most intact collections of early 1900s commercial and residential architecture in Johnston County.

Neighborhoods and Streets of Benson

Downtown runs along Main Street and Wall Street, and you can still see the brick storefronts and frame houses that went up during the town’s first boom. The surrounding neighborhoods spread out from there with a mix of historic homes and newer development.

  • Main Street (NC 50) is the backbone of downtown, lined with local shops, the Benson Museum of Local History, and the Mary Duncan Library.
  • The Benson Singing Grove hosts outdoor concerts and community events and serves as the kickoff venue for Mule Days every September.
  • The Crossbones Brewing has become a local gathering spot with live music most Saturday nights.
  • Chamber Park and Arena on the east side of town hosts the rodeo events and mule competitions during Mule Days.

Community and Lifestyle

Your kids have options close to home with Benson Elementary, Meadow Elementary, Benson Middle School, and South Johnston High School all in town. Campbell University is about 15 miles west in Buies Creek, and the Research Triangle universities are within an hour’s drive.

Every September, Benson swells from a town of 4,000 to a crowd of 30,000 for Mule Days, a four-day festival that started in 1949 as a harvest celebration honoring the farmer’s best friend. You’ll see rodeos, a parade that fills Main Street with horses, mules, antique tractors, and marching bands, plus carnival rides and enough barbecue to last the weekend.

Getting Around Benson

If you drew an X on the map where I-95 and I-40 cross, you’d land right next to Benson. That intersection makes this one of the most connected small towns in the state, even if it doesn’t feel that way on a quiet Saturday morning downtown.

  • Raleigh is about 35 minutes north on I-40 or NC 50 through Garner.
  • Fayetteville is roughly 30 minutes south on US 301 or I-95.
  • Smithfield, the Johnston County seat, is 15 miles northeast on US 301 and covers most of your county government and larger retail needs.
