Why Princeton Trusts Precision Septic Systems Inc
A family business that has stayed family-owned for forty years is a different thing from a company that has changed hands a dozen times. Princeton residents who call us in 2026 are talking to the same family that founded the business in 1985. That kind of continuity is hard to find in this industry.
Our Services
Septic System Service
Princeton has the soil characteristics of eastern Johnston County, where sandier ground meets the heavier clay closer to the Wayne County line. What grew tobacco and cotton for a hundred years now supports residential septic systems, with the same drainage variability that farmers had to learn to read.
Precision Septic has worked these soils since 1985. Ricky Holland brings Grade IV installer and inspector credentials to every property, the highest level the State of North Carolina recognizes.
You get the same person handling the soil test, the design, the install, and the inspection. That is the kind of septic system service continuity Princeton homeowners deserve.
Septic Pumping & Waste Management Service
Small-town septic systems get smaller-town treatment most of the time. The big regional pumping companies tend not to schedule far out east, so Princeton often gets serviced as an afterthought. We schedule Princeton the same way we schedule Angier.
Precision Septic waste management service handles residential and commercial pumping across Princeton and eastern Johnston County. The drive does not change the schedule or the care.
Older Princeton properties especially benefit from a contractor who actually comes when we say we will, rather than rescheduling because of distance from the main shop.
Plumber
Older Princeton homes have plumbing that connects to septic systems with decades of history. When something backs up, the diagnosis takes someone who can read the whole chain from kitchen to tank without making three trips to figure out what is going on.
Ricky Holland is one of the few contractors serving eastern Johnston County who carries an NC unlimited plumbing license alongside his Grade IV septic credentials. One person traces the problem all the way through and fixes whatever side of it is causing the trouble.
For Princeton families, that single-trip diagnosis is the difference between a Saturday-morning fix and a weekend of phone calls.
Drainage Service
Eastern Johnston County has stretches of flat, slow-draining ground where heavy rain takes its time leaving. Lots near the Little River drainage basin or in the lower elevation pockets sometimes need help moving water away from septic infrastructure.
Precision Septic drainage service brings forty years of excavation experience to those drainage problems. We grade, reroute, and pull standing water away from drain fields before saturation forces a system failure.
Catching a drainage problem in year three saves you from replacing a drain field in year six.
The Rich History of Princeton
Princeton was originally settled as Boon Hill in the 1740s by the Boon family, who ran a livery stable on the Goldsboro-to-Raleigh stagecoach road. The town was incorporated as Boon Hill in 1861 and renamed Princeton in 1873 after a settler from Princeton, New Jersey.
The North Carolina Railroad, completed through Johnston County in 1854, turned Princeton from a farming crossroads into a market town. Cotton, tobacco, turpentine, and lumber moved through Princeton’s depot for the next century.
Neighborhoods and Streets of Princeton
Downtown Princeton has held its small-town character through the decades. The original commercial buildings near the rail line still anchor the town center, with residential neighborhoods spreading out into the surrounding farmland.
Community and Lifestyle
Princeton operates its own elementary and middle/high school inside the town limits, which keeps families close to home for school events and athletics. The community has the rhythm of a working agricultural town rather than a commuter suburb.
Annual events like the Boon Hill Heritage Day and Friday night football at Princeton High School draw most of the community out each year, the way small towns have done for a century.
Getting Around Princeton
Princeton’s location on US 70 puts the town within easy reach of both Smithfield and Goldsboro.
