Excavation & Septic Work in Gorham

Gorham blends small-town charm with steady residential growth, and that growth means a steady stream of new home construction, septic installations, and driveway work throughout town. AR Cail's crew handles the groundwork behind all of it — grading, drainage planning, and foundation prep — so construction moves forward without surprises.

Septic systems are a particular strength. AR Cail designs and installs systems tailored to each Gorham property, whether it's new construction or a replacement for an aging system, ensuring full compliance with Maine regulations from the first shovel to final inspection.



On the commercial side, AR Cail's team works with homeowners and builders throughout the Gorham area, with scheduling built around each project's timeline and budget.
