Who Are We?
At First Turn, we combine high-performance precision with decades of field-proven expertise. Our company is built on the partnership of Chase Porter and Will Lunsford—two professionals from very different backgrounds who joined forces to create a "pit crew" approach to property maintenance. By leveraging each other's strengths, Chase and Will ensure every project is handled with both technical mastery and professional organization.
Chase Porter is our hands-on leader and the "blue-collar" heart of the operation. With over a decade of construction experience and ten years of specialized septic experience, Chase ensures that every septic tank pumping, lift station repair, and drainage installation is executed with rugged, real-world expertise.
Complementing the field operations is Will Lunsford, who manages the "back office" and estimating. With over 5 years of project management experience and six years of marketing expertise, Will ensures the "engine" of the business runs smoothly. His focus on accurate estimating and clear communication means our clients receive professional-grade service from the first quote to the final handshake.
Our Core Values
Precision: We don’t believe in "close enough." Whether we are leveling a retaining wall or inspecting a septic float switch, we measure twice and execute once.
Pace: We respect your time. Our "pit crew" mentality means we work efficiently to get your system back online and your property restored without unnecessary delays.
Integrity: We provide honest assessments. If you don't need a full pump replacement, we won't sell you one. We build relationships on trust, not upsells.
