"Troy did a great job! My sister and I discovered that our dad, who has Alzheimerâ s and has caretakers living with him, had an overflowing septic system. Each time we had it pumped, we were informed that something was either blocked or not functioning properly. As a result, we needed to look into either completely replacing his leach field and septic system or finding someone who could help us. Troy was extremely helpful in this stressful situation. From the time I talked to him & hired him it was done within a week. Very happy!"

"This is my second review for Brag's, and owner Tyler. My first review was about his responsiveness and help with diagnosis of our problem, and the process to resolve. Since we were at the start of our cold season, the remedy needed to wait until the frost had gone. We were able to have the inspection and plan made in the fall, and were ready to roll come spring of this year. Our need was for a new Leach Field for our 200 year old house. With the time that we had over the winter season, I asked a dozen service providers for a quotation for the project. Tyler was the first of only 3 to respond. This was in February, when I expected many to be lining up work for the springtime. Tyler's quote was as complete as any, and very competitive. In fact, his was the low bid. We made a plan and were off and running, as soon as the snow was gone and roads were clear for heavy traffic. The first day the excavator arrived and work commenced. Tyler and John worked long hours for 5 days, and with our town inspector's oversight completed our project 1 day early. They even helped with installing a filter in our Septic Tank, and installed a new Pump Station pump. Everything's fresh and new. Toilets flush. Mission accomplished! Brag's Sewer and Septic is my strong recommendation to anyone needing this kind of work. Tyler and his crew have an excellent work ethic, which is rare these days. They work hard and strive to do it right. And they're pleasant to be around. All in all it was a great experience here. Thanks Tyler. 5 Stars, plus an extra for good measure. You earned it! Pat"

"Tony, Tess , KP, and the rest of the crew did an outstanding job! I hired another contractor who took my money and ran. Tony and his crew saved the day! They were fast, efficient, and professional. I highly reccomend them and their work! They replaced thirty feet of basement foundation wall the other guy had left open for six months. These guys had it completed in three weeks! They are the best!!!"

"The price was a little expensive, but it was worth every penny. I chose the package with additional add on’s, because I wanted a comprehensive report. Tom was very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. They saved me a ton of money by finding an issue with the septic system, that wasn’t easy to find. Tom was there for close to 4 hours and went over every aspect of the home with me in a walk through. I would highly recommend Main Choice and will definitely use them again in the future. Bill the owner was a very pleasant guy as well, and wasn’t afraid to roll his sleeves up and get dirty. Couldn’t have been happier with their services."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Dresden, ME

Most septic system replacements require several days to complete, not including permitting and preparation time. The process begins with site assessment and testing, followed by excavation, component installation, and final inspection. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and inspection schedules can all affect your project timeline. Your contractor can provide a more specific estimate based on your property's unique characteristics.

Standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover septic system replacement due to age or normal deterioration. Coverage may apply if damage results from specific covered events, but routine maintenance and eventual replacement are generally considered homeowner responsibilities. Review your policy details or speak with your insurance agent to understand your specific coverage limitations.

Look for multiple indicators such as slow-draining fixtures, unusual gurgling sounds in plumbing, sewage odors inside or outside your home, or wet spots in your yard. Unusually lush grass over the drain field area, frequent backups, or recurring repair needs might signal system failure. Addressing these warning signs promptly can prevent property damage and health hazards.

DIY septic installation is not recommended and may violate local regulations. Professional installation ensures compliance with health codes, proper design for your specific site conditions, and appropriate safety measures. The specialized equipment, technical knowledge, and permitting requirements make this a job best left to licensed professionals who can guarantee the system's safety and effectiveness.

With proper maintenance, including regular pumping, a drain field lasts 20 years. Various factors influence system longevity, including household size, water usage patterns, and soil conditions. Regular professional inspections can help determine when replacement becomes necessary. If your system requires increasingly frequent repairs, replacement might be more economical than continuing to address individual problems.
