Buying or selling in Andover? Get the system evaluated by people who pump and repair them for a living — with a report your closing team can actually use.
Highland Lake gives Andover its own version of the camp-conversion story — cottages ringing the lake that started as summer places and became homes — while the town's older village housing and outlying farms carry systems of every vintage. Andover's sandy-gravel soils in the valleys are kind to leach fields; the ledgier ground toward the mountains is less so, and knowing which your lot sits on shapes every repair-or-replace decision.
Highland Lake owners: same rule as every NH lake — protected shoreland waterfront requires a septic site assessment at sale. Order it early and closing stays on schedule.
A septic system is often the most expensive single component of a rural NH home — and the least visible. Our real estate evaluation opens the tank and pumps it (the only way to actually see tank condition), inspects baffles and tank structure, locates and checks the distribution box, probes the leach field for saturation, runs water from the house to observe flow, and delivers a written, photographed report within 48 hours.
New Hampshire law (RSA 485-A:39) requires a septic site assessment when developed waterfront within the protected shoreland changes hands — build it into your listing timeline so it doesn't hold up closing.
Most full evaluations run $400–$700 including the pumping. Shoreland assessments are quoted per property.

Only shoreland waterfront sales are state-mandated (RSA 485-A:39) — but nearly all Lakes Region buyers and lenders require one regardless.
