Company History

Founded in 1966, the business began as a small septic service working with local coastal families and fishing communities. Over the decades it expanded equipment and staff while keeping hands-on involvement from long-term employees. The company adapted to changing state regulations and developed the hauling and disposal practices required by Maine law.

Throughout the years the team learned to work around ledge and tight coastal lots. That local experience matters when dealing with tide-influenced soils, cold winters and seasonal homes that sit idle through winter months.

Leadership

Leadership grew from the original owner to a small local management team with deep roots in the Midcoast. Managers are active in regional trade groups and attend trainings on septic code and inspection standards. They keep a visible presence in town meetings and often help homeowners understand system permits and setback rules.
