BES has designed and installed septic systems from the Seacoast to the White Mtns. specializing in lakefront and island properties as protecting the lakes is very important. The lakes have become very crowded over the years with more people moving to our beautiful state. "Camps", becoming year round houses, require updated septic systems to accommodate the increased demands and increased environmental requirements. Many of these lots are tight on space requiring alternative disposal and pre-treatment technologies to treat the waste. BES enjoys the challenges associated with these lots and takes pride in working with the customers wishes, lot constraints and environmental regulations to provide a solution that works best for all.

Why It Makes Sense to Have Your Septic Designer Also Handle the Installation

A septic system is not just something that looks good on paper—it has to work in the real world. When the person designing the system is also responsible for installing it, there is a greater level of understanding, accountability, and attention to detail from the initial site evaluation through final installation.

Having one professional involved from start to finish helps eliminate the disconnect that can sometimes occur when a design is handed off to a separate installer. The designer understands the reasoning behind every aspect of the plan, including site conditions, elevations, drainage, soil conditions, setbacks, material requirements, and the intended function of the system. If unexpected conditions are discovered during excavation, the person who understands the design firsthand is already on site and better positioned to evaluate the situation and make appropriate adjustments.

​

This can also create a more efficient process for the homeowner. Instead of coordinating between a designer, installer, excavator, and other contractors, you have one knowledgeable professional overseeing the project and taking responsibility for how the design translates from paper to the ground.

Perhaps most importantly, when the designer is also the installer, there is a higher level of accountability. There is no passing responsibility from one party to another if questions or challenges arise. The same person who designed the system understands how it was installed and has a direct interest in making sure every detail is completed correctly.

​

From design to installation, having one experienced professional involved throughout the entire process can provide better communication, greater efficiency, fewer opportunities for misinterpretation, and the confidence that the system was designed with the realities of the actual site and installation in mind.
