Septic service in Wells
Part of Wells 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 Wells and the rest of York County since 1969. We cover Wells Beach, Moody, Wells Branch, High Pine, and we are about 5 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 Wells
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.
