About Charbonneau Septic & Excavating Srvc

Charbonneau Septic & Excavating Srvc operates out of Pelham, New Hampshire, a town on the Massachusetts border that's grown significantly as people move north from the Greater Lowell area seeking more land and lower costs. More land means more septic systems, and Pelham's mix of newer subdivisions and older rural parcels creates a wide variety of service needs. What sets Charbonneau apart is the excavating side of the business. Septic work and excavation go hand in hand for installations, drain field replacement, and site prep.

Services & Process

Combining septic services with excavation gives Charbonneau a distinct advantage on jobs that require more than just pumping. New system installations, drain field replacements, and tank replacements all require heavy equipment and site knowledge that a pumping-only company can't provide. They handle the full scope: tank pumping, system inspections, excavation for new installs, leach field construction, and site grading after the work is done. For Pelham homeowners facing a failing system that needs more than a pump-out, having one contractor handle everything simplifies the process considerably.

Service Area

Charbonneau Septic & Excavating serves Pelham and the surrounding southern New Hampshire communities. Given their location near the MA border, they're well-positioned to serve towns like Windham, Salem, Atkinson, and Hudson. Call (603) 635-1896 to discuss your location and schedule service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need excavation work along with my septic system replacement in Pelham?
Almost always, yes. Replacing a tank or installing a new drain field requires digging, which means heavy equipment on your property. Using a company that handles both the septic and the excavation work means fewer contractors and a cleaner finished site.
How long does a new septic system installation take in NH?
From permit approval to project completion, most installations in Pelham take between one and three days of actual work, though the permitting process can take several weeks depending on NH DES workload and design complexity.
What soil testing is required before installing a new septic system in Pelham?
New Hampshire requires a soil scientist to evaluate the site and conduct percolation and soil profile tests before a design can be approved. Your septic contractor typically coordinates this testing as part of the installation process.
Can I build an addition on my Pelham home if my septic system is already at capacity?
Adding bedrooms or increasing the home's occupancy load typically requires demonstrating that your existing system can handle the additional flow, or upgrading it. NH DES has specific rules about design flow calculations, so check with your contractor before starting a project.
What's the difference between a septic system repair and a full replacement?
A repair addresses a specific component, like a damaged distribution box, a cracked pipe, or a single failing section of leach field. A replacement involves installing an entirely new system when the existing one is too far gone to fix cost-effectively.
How close to the MA border does Charbonneau Septic serve?
Based in Pelham, which sits right on the Massachusetts state line, Charbonneau is well-positioned to serve the southernmost NH communities. For properties just over the border, it's worth calling to ask, but their primary focus is New Hampshire work regulated under NH DES rules.
