Founded in 1965 by Harold S. Colby in Concord, NH, Best Septic Service has been a pioneer in the septic maintenance industry, advocating for preventative care and education. Initially focusing on pumping services, the company quickly expanded, including a notable portable toilet service that catered to various regions in New Hampshire, even providing facilities on Mt. Washington for the new Observatory/Museum in 1973. Under Mr. Colby’s leadership, Best Septic Service became a key player in local efforts to establish industry regulations and educational programs through his involvement in the NH Association of Septage Haulers.
After Mr. Colby retired in 1990, the company was taken over by his employee Paul Johnson and his wife Darlene, who have upheld the commitment to customer satisfaction and proactive septic system maintenance. Today, Best Septic Service is a family-run business with a fleet of five trucks, emphasizing its local roots and dedication to its community. Under Paul and Darlene's stewardship, the company has not only provided top-notch septic services but has also taken an active role in supporting local youth and drug awareness programs.
The next generation, represented by their son Eric, ensures that the company remains deeply embedded within the community, while also remaining committed to proper ground water protections and industry best practices. Best Septic Service continues to provide comprehensive services across central New Hampshire and the Lakes Region, cementing its reputation as a trusted and reliable septic service provider for both residential and commercial customers.
