New Septic System Installation

New Septic System Installation in Bangor

A new onsite wastewater treatment system is the heart of any home not tied to a municipal sewer, and it has to be sized right the first time. Paulineachen designs and installs complete conventional systems for Bangor homes, including the tank, the distribution box, and the drainfield. A three bedroom house usually calls for a 1,000 to 1,250 gallon concrete tank, and we confirm the exact size against how your household actually uses water.

Why the Design Matters

• It follows the soil. The perc test and soil profile set the drainfield size the Penobscot County health department will permit, so the numbers come before the shovel.
• It has to clear the water table. We keep at least four feet of vertical separation between the drainfield and the seasonal high water table, which protects both your yard and nearby groundwater.
• It is built to last. Watertight concrete tanks, effluent filters, and gasketed riser lids at grade mean the system runs clean and stays easy to service.

Our Process

We start with a perc test and site evaluation, then design a system that fits your lot and clears review. You get a written estimate before any digging begins. Once the permit is in hand, most conventional gravity systems go from excavation to backfill in a few days, and we file the as built record when the job is done.
