Our Services

Septic System Service

Brogden never had a sewer line because the population never needed one. The land out here is flat farming country, the lots are large, and the homes are spaced out far enough that septic was always the obvious choice. That has not changed in a hundred years.

What changes is the system on each property. Soil composition, water table depth, household usage, the age of what is already buried. Precision Septic has installed, repaired, and inspected systems across Johnston County since 1985, and Ricky Holland holds the Grade IV certification, the highest level North Carolina issues for both installation and inspection.

One person can sign off on the work from soil test through final inspection. You get a septic system service contractor who knows what this ground does in every season.

Septic Pumping & Waste Management Service

Johnston County homeowners pump on different cycles depending on tank size, household, and how much water gets used in a typical week. We set yours based on what your tank actually shows us, not a one-size-fits-all schedule.

Precision Septic waste management service pumps residential and commercial tanks across Brogden and the rest of Johnston County on a schedule built around how your household actually uses water. Rural properties with older tanks especially benefit from consistent monitoring.

A typical four-person household needs pumping every three to five years, but we set your interval based on what your tank tells us, not a generic chart.

Plumber

Calling two contractors for a backup that turns out to be either side of the wall is the kind of mistake that costs you a Saturday and a weekend rate. One person who can diagnose both ends of the problem saves you both.

Ricky Holland is one of the few contractors serving Brogden who carries an NC unlimited plumbing license alongside Grade IV septic credentials. He can follow a problem from your kitchen drain all the way to the tank without calling in a second company. One diagnosis, one visit, one invoice.

On older farm properties, where plumbing has been in the ground for generations, that single-source diagnosis saves you time and money.

Drainage Service

Drainage problems are excavation problems at heart. Forty years of digging in this kind of Johnston County land teaches you where water wants to go and how to send it somewhere else before it finds your drain field.

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

You get a fix built around your specific lot, not a one-size approach. Forty years of working this kind of land teaches you what works.

The Rich History of Brogden

Brogden takes its name from the Brogden family, English Quakers who settled the area during the colonial period. The community grew up around the farms and crossroads that defined rural Johnston County in the 1800s.

The settlement was once known as Grabtown, a name still associated with its most famous resident. Ava Gardner, the Hollywood actress, was born here on Christmas Eve in 1922.

Neighborhoods and Streets of Brogden

Brogden is a rural community rather than a town center, scattered along the roads between Smithfield and the Wayne County line.

  • Brogden Road runs through the heart of the community and connects to the larger roads heading west to Smithfield.
  • Sardis Baptist Church was built on Brogden Road in 1914, with timber donated by Ava Gardner’s father.
  • Shiloh Primitive Baptist Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
  • Ava Gardner’s gravesite is at Sunset Memorial Park, near the intersection of US 70 Business and NC 210.

Community and Lifestyle

Daily life here looks much like it has for generations. Tobacco and cotton gave way to soybeans and corn, but the rhythm of rural Johnston County still shapes the year.

Children attend schools in the Johnston County district, and Smithfield serves as the county seat and main hub for shopping, banking, and county government services.
