Septic System Odors

/in Bob Silva, emergency services, Maine, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, New Hampshire, norton, preventative maintenance, septic cleaning, Septic Preservation Services, septic repairs, septic system maintenance /by

Septic system odors can have many causes. Some can be minor, others more serious. In cold weather, the causes can vary. Pinpointing the source of the smell is usually the first step. Downdrafts from the vent pipe on the roof may cause odor, but would vary with weather conditions and wind and subside as the day warms.

There could be a problem with a frozen drainfield, blocked tank inlet or outlet, or other blocked pipes. Backup may occur in the home if this is the case. Check the lowest drain in the system first. Call a professional right away if you suspect this is the problem.

Long, persistent odors and wet spots over the tank and drainfield could mean septic system failure. Check for effluent outside and wet spots where the grass may be particularly lush.

Does it smell right near the house? Broken pipes or leaky pipes could account for this. Effluent could be leaking out of the pipe and running along the pipe trench rather than through the pipe itself. Blocked pipes could also be the problem forcing the sewage back toward the home.

The best course of action is to call a professional right away. Septic Preservation Services have 24 hour emergency services as well as trained septic professionals to evaluate the problem and make any necessary repairs, which could save money down the road and prevent septic failure.

Protecting Your Septic System During the Winter Months

/in All Clear Septic, All Clear Septic & Wastewater service, Bob Silva, Maine, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, New Hampshire, norton, preventative maintenance, rhode island, Septic Preservation Services, septic repairs, septic system repairs /by

How can you protect your septic system during the winter months? Freezing can become an issue when the temperatures start to drop. The most vulnerable components are the pipes leading from the house into the septic tank. Leaky fixtures such as faucets and toilets can keep a steady drip through the pipes which could freeze, blocking the pipes. Other components which can potentially freeze are the tank, pipes leading to the drainfield and the drainfield itself.

Snow itself is a great insulator over your septic tank and leachfield. Make sure you do not drive over your tank and leachfield. Compacted snow can drive down the frost and increase your chances of freezing. Driving over your leachfield and septic system is never a good idea in any season. It can lead to damage to your system. Grass is always a good choice for over your septic system or mulch if grass is not available. It is a great insulator without deep roots to interfere with or damage your system.

Systems which are in use have a lesser possibility of freezing since liquid is always flowing through the system. Homes which are used seasonally or sporadically have a greater risk for freezing since the system is dormant much of the time.

Fixing leaky faucets and toilets before winter sets in can greatly lessen your chances of freezing occurring and also conserve water. This can save you from costly repairs down the road.

If you suspect you have a problem, call a professional right away. Septic Preservation Services has 24 emergency services for help with any septic emergency. They can evaluate your system and make repairs if needed. They also offer a great maintenance program to keep your septic system running smoothly year round.
