Andrew J Foss has everything I need as an excavation contractor. Their service is prompt and their prices are very competitive.
I called them to buy a septic tank and distribution box and they were very helpful and reasonably priced. I would buy from them again!!!!!!
I have had the opportunity to cross paths with AJ Foss many times over the past 10 years, and I have been consistently impressed with the quality of this organization. The number of contractors that trust AJ Foss for their precast concrete needs tells the story. Contractors don't want to insecurity, and the trust they put in AJ Foss speaks volumns.

1,000 Gallon Concrete Septic Tank Overview

Our 1000 gallon septic tank, made of quality precast concrete, is designed to hold 1000 gallons of liquid. A plumbing team can extend pipes from home drains to either the side or center inlets of this mid-seam style concrete septic tank.

Plumbers in the New England area appreciate that this same option is available on the tank outlet.  Pipes can carry waste water effluent from the tank to the leach field from either of the tank’s well-placed side or center outlets.

Closed-end Polylok IV plumbing boots are used for the job of installing the tank’s penetrations.  This provides flexible, water tight connection for pipes as they enter and exit the precast tank structure.

Our team produces and services this commonly-used style of tank to meet all best-practice requirements of ASTM C 1227 & NPCA.   A.J. Foss serves home and business waste water service needs by partnering with area septic system designers, plumbers, and excavation professionals throughout New Hampshire, Maine, and Northern Massachusetts.
