Services & Process

Piedmont handles both the digging and the septic system work, which makes them a strong choice for new construction or complete system replacements. On the excavation side, they can grade sites, dig tank and drain field trenches, and address any grading issues that affect drainage. For septic work, expect full installations, tank replacements, and repair services covering distribution boxes, outlet filters, and failed drain field sections. They can also conduct site evaluations and perc tests for properties being developed or subdivided.

Service Area

Piedmont Excavation & Septic serves Epsom and surrounding Merrimack County communities, including Pembroke, Chichester, and Pittsfield. Given their proximity to Concord, they're also accessible to homeowners on the edges of the capital city who are outside municipal sewer reach. Central NH is their home turf.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a perc test and do I need one for a new septic system in NH?
A percolation test measures how quickly water drains through your soil, which determines what type of septic system will work on your property. In New Hampshire, site evaluations including soil testing are required before a system design can be approved.
Can I build a new home in Epsom without access to town sewer?
Yes, many homes in Epsom and surrounding Merrimack County towns use private septic systems. You'll need a site evaluation and system design approved by the NH DES before a building permit is issued.
How much does a new septic system installation cost in New Hampshire?
Costs vary widely based on lot conditions, system type, and excavation requirements, but most residential installations run between $10,000 and $30,000 or more. Complex sites with ledge, high water tables, or limited space cost more.
What's involved in a drain field repair?
Drain field repairs typically involve excavating the failed area, removing saturated or clogged soil, and installing new distribution pipes and gravel or a chamber system. In some cases, a new field area must be designated if the original zone can't recover.
How long does a septic system last in central New Hampshire?
A well-maintained system in good soil can last 25 to 40 years. Regular pumping, avoiding system abuse, and keeping heavy vehicles off the drain field all extend that lifespan considerably.
Does heavy rain affect my septic system?
Yes. Saturated soil from heavy rain reduces your drain field's ability to absorb effluent, which can cause backups or surface ponding. Extended wet periods, like NH spring thaws, are common stress points for septic systems in the region.
