Select Excavation

Select Excavation is a Sandown, New Hampshire company built primarily around septic systems — pumping tanks, installing new systems, replacing failing ones, and putting in leach fields — work that shows up across the overwhelming majority of its 126 reviews collected between 2021 and 2026, every one of them five stars. Several 2026 reviewers mention that their previous, long-time septic company (in one case a single technician's business run for over 30 years) was sold to or merged with Select Excavation, and describe the transition going smoothly, down to keeping familiar faces like a former owner's old pump technician on staff. What people consistently point to is how the office and crews handle the logistics: fast scheduling (same-day emergency service more than once, an appointment confirmed within minutes of a request), clear digital communication (texts, emails, and a digital checklist after the job), and technicians — Sean and Erica among the names that recur most — described as courteous, thorough, and quick to track down a buried access cover. On the bigger jobs, reviewers describe full septic system replacements completed in as little as 2.5 days or under 8 hours, and a leach field installation praised for a clean, well-communicated process at the best of three quotes. The one thing worth knowing before booking: one reviewer who had a septic system installed a couple of years back mentioned the price came in slightly higher than other estimates, though they were satisfied with the result. With 126 reviews averaging five stars across six platforms — Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack among them — and a steady pace of reviews through 2026, Select Excavation looks like a default call in its area for septic pumping and installation, plus general excavation work for existing customers. For anyone weighing a septic system replacement or a routine pump-out, the pattern in the reviews is speed, clear communication, and a crew that treats a homeowner's yard carefully while doing it.
