Community-Trusted Septic Service

For over 50 years, A.L. Lowder has proudly served Albemarle and the surrounding Stanly County community. Our commitment to clean water, safe wastewater handling, and exceptional customer care makes us the trusted choice for septic tank pumping, residential/commercial grease trap cleaning, and line jetting.

Our Journey: From 1972 to Today

A.L. Lowder has served Stanly County and nearby communities for more than five decades. Founded by Arnold Sr., Arnold Jr., and Jim—known locally as “the guy in the white hard hat”—our roots began in concrete work across the county.

In 1990, Jim’s son Lane joined the business and helped grow A.L. Lowder into the reliable, multi-service company it is today—now including septic pumping, grease trap maintenance, and hydro (line) jetting for homes, businesses, and municipalities. Built on hard work, strong values, and outstanding service, our family-owned team remains committed to serving the community with integrity and pride.
