Septic service in Shapleigh
Shapleigh 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 Shapleigh and the rest of York County since 1969. We cover Mousam Lake, Square Pond, Shapleigh Corner, Ross Corner, 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 Shapleigh
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.
