Septic service in Saco
Part of Saco is on public sewer, generally the village center and main corridors. Step off those roads and most homes are on private septic. Nest and Sons has been pumping, repairing and installing septic systems in Saco and the rest of York County since 1969. We cover Camp Ellis, Ferry Beach, North Saco, the Route 112 corridor, and we are about 15 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 Saco
Near the coast the ground runs sandy with a high seasonal water table, and lots near the marshes and beaches sit close to groundwater. That is good for drainage and hard on drain fields when the water comes up in spring. Older cottages converted to year-round use often carry a tank sized for summer weekends, and the ones built before the 1970s can still be steel. Inland from Route 1 the soil turns to till and ledge, and the same street can have both.
