Septic repair in New Boston, NH

C.J. Burke Enterprises repairs septic systems in New Boston and nearby towns. Carson Burke is a New Hampshire licensed septic installer (NHDES permit #5889). If drains in the house are slow, the tank alarm is going off, the ground over the leach field is wet, or something was left unfinished on a recent job, get in touch. We can look at the system and tell you whether a repair is realistic or whether replacement is the better path.

Problems we get called about

Not every septic problem means the whole system is failed. Common repair calls include:

• Broken, settled, or poorly graded pipe between the house, the tank, and the field
• Tank baffles, lids, or risers that need to be repaired or brought to grade
• A tank that was set at the wrong elevation and has to be reset
• Connections that were never finished on a previous install
• Localized damage from a vehicle driving over the system, or from roots and frost
• Other construction defects that can be corrected without replacing the entire field

What we cannot honestly call a “repair” is a leach field that has already failed. If effluent is surfacing, or the field will no longer accept flow, the usual course is a designed replacement, not a shortcut.

We are not a septic pumping company. If the tank is due to be pumped, or you need the contents hauled, that work is done by a permitted septage hauler. If you are not sure which you need, call anyway. We can help you sort it out.

How a repair visit usually starts

Tell us the town, what you are seeing, and the age of the system if you know it. If you have a plot plan, an NHDES approval, pumping records, or photos, those help. On site, we will look at the accessible parts of the system and at the signs on the ground. Then we will tell you what we think is going on and what it would take to fix it.

Some repairs are still subject to NHDES rules, especially if the work changes the approved system. We will not do unpermitted work that should be going through the state.

When a repair becomes a replacement

It is better to hear that clearly up front than after a temporary fix. If the field has failed, if the tank is no longer sound, or if the system is the wrong size for the house, we will say so and talk with you about replacement. If you are in the middle of a real estate transaction, it is especially important to get that distinction right.
