Site Visit
We’ll meet you at your Gorham property to review your property and address septic locations. 

Soils Testing
Our Licensed Site Evaluators perform on-site soil evaluations to determine drainage capacity and identify the layout for your disposal field.

System Planning
We establish an Elevation Reference Point, place grade stakes, and begin planning your system layout based on setbacks, slope, and site conditions.

After the site visit, we complete your custom septic design and prepare the HHE-200 form required for local approval. Most designs are completed within a matter of days.

After receiving your HHE-200:

– Submit it to the Gorham Local Plumbing Inspector for approval
