Septic System Installation in Saco, Maine

New installation from design to final inspection. We work with licensed engineers and stay on schedule.

The Work

From Design to Final Inspection.

In Maine, new septic systems require a licensed soil engineer to design the HHE-200 plan before excavation begins. We work alongside engineers through the permitting process and handle the installation once the plan is approved. If you don't have an engineer yet, we can point you to local contacts. The goal is a system that passes inspection and serves the property for decades.

Maine requires a septic design from a licensed site evaluator on an HHE-200 form, plus a permit from the local plumbing inspector, before any work starts. We install to the approved design and coordinate the inspections.

The systems we install

Which system goes in is decided by the site evaluator's design and the soils on your lot, not by us. These are the three we install most.

Eljen systems

Geotextile sand filter modules, used where the design calls for a smaller footprint or the soils need the extra treatment.

Stone and pipe

The traditional leach field: perforated pipe bedded in stone.
