Randleman at a glance
- City of Randleman sewer and water system: 27.78 miles of sanitary sewer line and 2,500 water customers sourceSewer line miles are fixed; a home that is not on one of those lines has a septic tank and its pumping is the owner's job.

Between pump-outs, some Randleman owners add a tank treatment such as Septifix (sponsored link). It is a treatment, not a substitute for pumping: the maker’s claims are its own, and the Nebraska DEQ notes research has shown little benefit from additives. Read our Septifix review first.
Septic pumping companies that serve Randleman
How we picked
We kept companies that show a real phone number and either a Randleman address or a page of their own that names Randleman for septic pumping. Most other results for Randleman were national lead sites with no local address, so we left them out. An older state pumper list showed another Randleman firm, but we could not confirm that it is still operating, so it is not listed. North Carolina permits septage firms through DEQ; check any company on DEQ’s Septage Management Firms page (its Find a Permitted Firm list). No company paid to be listed. Checked October 18, 2026.

What drives the price in Randleman
- Mileage: only one listed company has a Randleman address, so ask the others whether a trip charge applies.
- Digging: if the lid is buried, expect labor to uncover it; a riser avoids that next time.
- Tank size: a 1,500-gallon tank costs noticeably more to pump than a 1,000-gallon one.
- Timing: same-day emergency visits typically cost more than a booked pump-out.
If a pumper hesitates when you ask for the state permit number, call someone else.
What's different about septic pumping in Randleman
City sewer or septic in Randleman?
The City of Randleman maintains 27.78 miles of sanitary sewer line and runs its own wastewater plant, which treats municipal and industrial wastewater and discharges to the Deep River. The city also lists 2,500 water customers, more than the 1,662 households the 2020 census counted inside city limits, and it charges a higher utility deposit for properties outside the city ($400 against $350). So some customers live beyond the city line, and having city water does not by itself mean you have city sewer.
Look at your bill for a sewer charge. If there is one, a backup is a call to City Public Works at (336) 495-7500. If there isn’t, you have a septic system, and pumping and upkeep are yours to schedule.
Randleman Lake and septic tanks
Randleman Lake, a 3,007-acre reservoir on the Deep River, supplies drinking water to Greensboro. North Carolina’s watershed rule for the lake says there shall be no new or expanding permitted wastewater discharges in the watershed, with one narrow exception for the City of High Point’s Eastside plant. That rule is about treatment-plant discharges; it sets no septic requirements, and septic systems here follow the same county rules as the rest of Randolph County.
The practical point for an owner is simple: a leaking or overflowing system near the lake or its streams is a drinking water issue as well as a yard problem, so don’t wait on a repair.
How septic repairs and permits work in Randolph County
Randolph County Environmental Health, at 204 E. Academy St. in Asheboro ((336) 318-6262), soil-evaluates, designs, permits and inspects septic systems, and it investigates complaints such as sewage seeping onto a neighbor’s property or an odor. A specialist responds to every complaint.
When a system is failing, the county verifies the problem and then sends a written notice of violation by certified mail. The owner has 30 days to complete the repair, and the installer then calls for an inspection. Expansions need an expansion permit, and a new connection is required when a new mobile home replaces another on a lot.
Pumpers answer to the state, not the county. DEQ permits each septage firm and requires four hours of continuing education a year.
Permits and rules in Randleman
Septic systems in Randleman are permitted by Randolph County Environmental Health under North Carolina rules. The City of Randleman handles its sewer lines and plant, not septic tanks.
- Pumping: no permit for the homeowner. The company needs an NC DEQ septage firm permit.
- Repairs: a repair application; a county notice gives the owner 30 days to finish.
- Expansions and new connections: expansion permit, or a new connection when a mobile home is replaced.
- Fees: we could not read the county’s current fee schedule; ask Environmental Health.

How to choose a septic pumping company in Randleman
- Get the permit number. A North Carolina septage firm permit from DEQ is required, and the company should be able to read it to you.
- Get one all-in price. Pumping, disposal fee, any digging to the lid, and mileage from Lexington or wherever the truck starts.
- Ask what the visit includes. Baffle check, effluent filter, and a look at the drainfield surface.
- If a repair comes up, ask who files the Randolph County repair application and who calls for the inspection.
Be wary of a flat quote given before anyone asks your tank size, or of anyone who says the county can be skipped.
When to book in Randleman
Randleman tanks can be pumped in any month. A drainfield that looks wet right after a heavy storm is not necessarily failing, so give it several dry days before paying for a repair.
Curious how your system is holding up? Try the 30-second Septifix septic quiz (sponsored link). Keep in mind Septifix is a treatment: it doesn’t repair a failed drainfield, and it doesn’t replace a pump-out every few years.
