Septic installation and repair in Goffstown, NH

At C.J. Burke Enterprises we install new septic systems in Goffstown, replace failed ones, and repair the ones that can be saved. Goffstown is about 7 miles east of our base in New Boston along Route 13. Goffstown is a mix: parts of town are on municipal sewer, and other parts are on septic.

Call or text 603-303-1543 if you need a new system, a replacement, or a repair.

Sewer in some places, septic in the rest

Goffstown has a town Sewer Department that collects wastewater from about 2,100 homes and businesses and sends it to the Manchester Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. Pinardville has long been part of that system. The town’s sewer ordinance defines the sewer service area as the area within 150 feet of a public sewer, so the first question on any Goffstown property is whether it is inside that area. If it is, the conversation is about a sewer connection rather than a septic system.

Outside the sewered areas, homes are on private septic. Goffstown is a bigger and busier town than most of our service area, with a compact center on the Piscataquog River, more developed stretches along Routes 13 and 114, and quieter back roads toward New Boston and Weare. The Uncanoonuc Mountains rise in the southwest part of town, with the north peak at about 1,324 feet, so some lots are on real slope.

Glen Lake and the Piscataquog

Glen Lake is about 137 acres, which is well over the 10-acre line that puts a lake into the state’s protected shoreland. Lots within 250 feet of the lake’s reference line have extra rules. Since September 1, 2024, when a property with a septic system in the protected shoreland changes hands, state law requires the buyer to have the system evaluated by a licensed evaluator before the transfer. New septic systems in the protected shoreland also have to meet at least a 75-foot setback from the reference line, and replacements have to meet the setback requirements as far as practicable.

If you are near Glen Lake or the river, tell us when you call. It changes where a new or replacement field can go.

Permits in Goffstown

NHDES approves every septic system in the state. You will need a design from a permitted designer and NHDES approval before construction. We are installers, not designers. We build from the approved plan and work through the inspections.

Wooded lots and access

On a wooded or sloped lot, tell us about tree cover, slope, and how the work area is reached when you call, so the installation or repair can be planned around it.
