Installing a septic tank requires careful planning, proper permits, and expert workmanship.

If you’re experiencing foul odors, slow drains, or pooling water around your drain field, your septic system may need repairs. Common issues include clogged pipes, broken baffles, and tree root intrusion. Our technicians diagnose the problem, provide a clear explanation, and execute the necessary repairs promptly. Ignoring septic issues can lead to system failure or contamination, so don’t wait—call us as soon as you notice any warning signs.
Routine septic pumping is crucial for preventing backups and extending the life of your system. Over time, solid waste accumulates in the tank, reducing its efficiency. We recommend pumping every 3 to 5 years, depending on usage. Delaying this service can result in costly repairs, unpleasant odors, and even groundwater contamination. Our team arrives promptly, removes waste efficiently, and ensures your system remains in top shape.
Beyond pumping, deep septic cleaning helps remove accumulated sludge, grease, and debris that regular pumping may not address. This service improves system efficiency and reduces the risk of blockages. If you notice frequent backups or slow drainage despite recent pumping, a thorough cleaning may be the solution. Call us to schedule an inspection and keep your septic system performing optimally.

The Lewiston area traces its roots to 1669 with the early presence of the Androscoggin tribe (the namesake of the county in which the city resides). In the late 18th century, in 1795, Lewiston was incorporated as Lewistown. The presence of the Androscoggin River and Lewistown Falls made the town an attractive area for manufacturing and hydro-power businesses. The rise of Boston rail and textile tycoon Benjamin Bates saw rapid economic growth rivaling that of Cambridge, Worcester, and Concord. Irish immigrants were recruited to build the railroad links and dig the canals for the textile mills. The Irish stayed, and worked the mills and established flourishing businesses, as evidenced by the McGillicuddy, Callahan, and other Blocks and the St.Joseph's and St.Patrick's churches. In the 1850 Census Lewiston was fully 23% Irish born. The increase in economic stimulus prompted thousands of Quebecers to migrate, causing a population boom; the populace rose from 1,801 in 1840 to 21,701 in 1890. In 1855, local preacher Oren Burbank Cheney founded the Maine State Seminary, the first coeducational university in New England and one of the first universities to admit black students before the Emancipation Proclamation. Lewistown quickly became associated with the liberal arts and was incorporated as "Lewiston" in 1864, a year before the college was chartered as Bates College.
