How to verify a Maine septic contractor
Before booking any company from this list — or any contractor you find elsewhere — take these steps:
- Look up the license at the Maine CDC licensed site evaluator and installer lists. The license must be current, not lapsed.
- Confirm the company's trucks are licensed by the Maine DEP to transport septage. Licensed trucks display a DEP decal.
- Get a written, itemized quote — pump-out fee, lid access if applicable, inspection fee, and what's explicitly excluded.
- Ask about waste disposal — a legitimate operator names the licensed disposal facility they use.
- Check Google and BBB reviews for recent service quality and complaint history.
