Septic service in Acton

Acton has no public sewer. Every property manages its own wastewater with a private septic system. Nest and Sons has been pumping, repairing and installing septic systems in Acton and the rest of York County since 1969. We cover Wilson Lake, Great East Lake, Mousam Lake shore, Acton Fairgrounds, and we are about 30 minutes from our shop at 2 Boulder Drive in Kennebunk, so a routine pump-out is an easy schedule and an emergency is a short drive.

What we see underground in Acton

The lakes region is camp country: small lots, seasonal cottages, holding tanks where a full field will not fit, and systems that have been converted from summer to year-round use without being resized. Setbacks from the water govern what can be built, and shoreland zoning applies to any replacement. Pump-outs before the season opens and before the camp is closed keep a small tank out of trouble.

I 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.

Taylor and his crew were exceptional! On a Saturday, our septic system's transfer pump malfunctioned. Taylor got back to me within an hour, scheduling a crew and ensuring everything was ready and operational by Monday.

A big thank you to Nest & Sons Inc and Tom for a great service! We just had our first time new septic pumped and it was a breeze. On time, very knowledgeable, good prices and most importantly a family business.

Acton septic questions

Frequently asked in Acton

How often should a septic tank be pumped in Acton?
Most Acton households are on a 2 to 3 year cycle. A 1,000 gallon tank with four people and no disposal is about three years. Camps and seasonal properties should be pumped before the season and before close-up. Call with the tank size and we will quote it on the phone.
Do you offer emergency septic service in Acton?
Yes. Acton is about 30 minutes from our shop at 2 Boulder Drive in Kennebunk. Office hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 to 4:00, and after-hours emergency calls are available for backups, overflows and frozen lines. Additional fees apply after hours.
Who issues septic permits in Acton?
New systems and replacements in Acton are permitted through the town's Local Plumbing Inspector at the town office, based on a design (HHE-200) from a Maine-licensed site evaluator. We coordinate the design, the permit and the inspections as part of an installation.
