Most septic companies pump. Some repair. A few install. Nest and Sons does all three with our own trucks and excavators, which means the person who pumps your tank can also fix the baffle they found cracked, and the crew that installs your new system is the same one that comes back in three years to pump it.
We serve every town in York County from our shop at 2 Boulder Drive in Kennebunk. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with after-hours emergency calls for backups, overflows and frozen lines.

How often should you pump in Maine?
Most York County households are on a 2 to 3 year cycle. A 1,000 gallon tank serving a family of four with no garbage disposal lands near three years. Add a disposal, a fifth person, or a smaller tank and it moves toward two. If you inherited a house and nobody can tell you when it was last pumped, book a pump-out. We record the tank size, sludge depth and condition so the next interval is a fact instead of a guess.
Why York County homeowners call Nest and Sons
Fifty-plus years in the same soil. We know which neighborhoods sit on ledge, which subdivisions still have 1970s steel tanks, and how deep the frost gets in a bad February. That history shows up in faster diagnosis and fewer surprises.
Transparent pricing. Pumping is quoted by tank size before the truck rolls. Repairs and installs are quoted after a look, in writing, with no add-ons on the invoice.
Licensed and insured, Dig Safe cleared before anything goes in the ground, and built to Maine Subsurface Wastewater Disposal Rules.

James DesrosiersGoogle reviewWhat a great experience!! My first interaction was with Kathy who answered my call right at 8 am when they opened. She was so very pleasant and professional over the phone. She assured me that someone could come out the same day.
Liz BrownGoogle reviewI was in a very emergency situation with a crushed septic pipe at a fully occupied multi unit. Taylor and his team took my call, reshuffled their day and were onsite within a couple hours, excavator and all!! They were respectful.
