What do I need to do to sell my house or build an addition on my home?If you own a home that has a private sewage treatment system in the State of Massachusetts, you are required to have a State-Certified Title 5 Inspector perform an official Title 5 Inspection on your system prior to selling your home or building an addition.
Since 1995, the State of Massachusetts has required homeowners to have their private sewage treatment system check thoroughly by a State-Certified Title 5 Inspector. Here is what you can expect from an official Title 5 Inspection – the inspector will:
Yes, this type of inspection is called a Voluntary Assessment. All of the same steps in the above inspection detail will be taken, however the 17-page document will NOT be sent to your local approving authority – it is for your information only. A Voluntary Assessment is a great way to find out more about your own septic system. Septic Preservation Services highly recommends this to our clients as a means of properly maintaining, upgrading and repairing your system to prolong its life. Ask us about additional services we can provide to ensure the proper working of your septic system.
Yes, Septic Preservation Services is also certified to perform inspections in the State of Rhode Island.
Absolutely not. The State of Massachusetts requires that your system be inspected under “normal use conditions” for a minimum of 2 weeks or more. If your system needs pumping during this period, we can arrange to have it done for you while the components of your system are exposed.
Will my landscaping be affected by the inspection?The SPS team is very respectful to the landscaping of your home or property. In order to minimize the amount of physical work required to perform your inspection, we use state-of-the-art locating equipment that helps us to locate your system components within a 4-inch radius. We also use a specialized “sewer cam” to let us inspect your pipes without having to dig them up. Any sod that needs to be removed is cut carefully and laid on tarps so it can be neatly replaced when your inspection is complete.

ashers are high water usage appliances second to your toilet. Choosing a high efficiency washer can make a big difference in water usage and fuel bills. Both top-loading and front loading high efficiency washers use less water and cost less to operate, and reduce drying time by extracting more water during the spin cycle. This is good news for your septic system and energy bills. Front-loaders have usually received a better efficiency score since they generally use less water than top-loading washers but high efficiency top loaders score high also.Lint from the washer into the septic system can also be a problem. Lint is non-biodegradable since it is made up of polyester and nylon which is synthetic. Over time this can clog up the soil treatment system(leach field) and reduce the life of the system costing the homeowner thousands of dollars. A laundry filter can be added to the washing machine discharge hose to which will remove most lint and some detergent scum from laundry wastewater. The laundry filter is a good investment toward the longevity of your septic system. Call All Clear for a price quote on laundry filter installation
Laundry detergents also can have an effect on your septic system. Powered detergents and liquid detergents contain basically the same ingredients. Liquid forms and pre-packaged packets have become popular recently. They all perform pretty much the same but packets do not allow you to use less for each load. Some detergents still contain phosphorous but it has been banned in most places. A high amount of suds is never a good idea for your septic system. Try using about half of the recommended amount and see if your clothes are clean. You can always add a little more to get the desired cleanliness.
Most commercial brands of laundry soap leave a chemical residue on your clothes. Vegetable-based laundry soap is a better choice. Powders usually contain fewer chemicals than liquids. Try pure soap flakes instead of detergent — add 1/2 cup of borax or vinegar to the rinse cycle to remove soapy residue. Enzyme-based detergents can be irritating to the skin and are a cause of allergic reactions. You can also try being creative and making your own detergent. There are many recipes online.
