When Jason Turcotte gets an idea, he goes all in. In 2006, he and his uncle, Bob Tupper (now retired), started a septic division called A Plus Septic Service to add onto his existing excavating company in Durham, Maine.
“There was a need for it,” says Turcotte, adding that while doing his excavating, he noticed customers weren’t maintaining their septic systems.
Still, it was a big risk jumping in headfirst. “We put $10,000 in an account to get going,” Turcotte says. “And it didn’t go anywhere at first; we were wondering if it was going to fly.”
