Tank pumping, leach field repair, and real estate inspections for homes and camps across the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Straight prices, clean work, and a crew that actually answers the phone.
Routine pumping for year-round homes and seasonal camps. We locate the tank, dig and expose the cover, pump it fully, and check baffles and levels before we backfill.
Broken baffles, crushed pipe, failed distribution boxes, and saturated leach fields. We diagnose the real problem before anyone talks about replacement.
Buying or selling in the Lakes Region? We provide full septic evaluations, including the shoreland site assessments NH requires for waterfront sales.
Sewage backing up into the house doesn't wait for Monday. Same-day emergency pumping when your system stops draining.
Don't know where your tank is? We locate buried tanks and covers, and install risers so the next pumping doesn't require a shovel.
Seasonal properties on the lakes need spring checks and fall pump-outs. We work with owners remotely — you don't need to be on site.
Nearly every home outside the village centers of the Lakes Region runs on a septic system — and the single cheapest thing you can do for it is pump on schedule. A $400 pumping every three years protects a leach field that costs $15,000–$40,000 to replace.

| Seasonal camp or cottage | Every 4–5 years |
| Can't remember your last pumping | This month |
Based in the Tilton–Franklin corridor, serving the greater Lakes Region — Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam, and Newfound:
Most New Hampshire households should pump every 3 years. NHDES guidance is every 2–3 years for year-round homes and every 4–5 years for lightly used seasonal camps. Garbage disposals, big families, and undersized tanks all shorten that interval.
Most standard residential pumpings run $300–$500 for a 1,000–1,250 gallon tank. Price moves with tank size, access, and digging. If we have to locate a buried cover or the tank is badly overfull, expect the higher end. We quote before we start — no surprises at the truck.
One slow drain is a plumbing problem. All of them at once is a septic problem — call us first and save the plumber's bill.
If you're selling developed waterfront within NH's protected shoreland, state law (RSA 485-A:39) requires a septic site assessment. For everything else, most buyers and lenders in the Lakes Region require an inspection before closing anyway. Ours includes pumping, a visual tank and baffle check, and a written report your closing team can use.
