Septic System Maintenance Is Necessary To Avoid Repairs and Failures

Septic Preservation Services know that even though it is only January 2nd it suddenly feels like the holidays were a long time ago and we are all getting back into the swing of things. This means that property maintenance that you have perhaps been putting off over the holiday period should now be looked at and not postponed anymore. Septic System Maintenance is really not something that should be put off for too long because if left it can lead to large and expensive repair being necessary or even a septic failure. The most important septic system maintenance is septic pumping. The average recommended pumping frequency is between 3 and 5 years, depending on the tank size and number of occupants. The longer you wait between pumping the greater the likelihood that you may have a septic problem and you will shorten the lifespan of your system and eventually it will fail. As wastewater enters your septic tank from your property, the solid matter will be held in the tank and break down into “sludge” over time, while the liquids continue on to the absorption area (leach field / drain field). Sludge is never meant to exit your septic tank, so it must be pumped out on a regular basis — you don’t want the sludge to accumulate to the point where it starts exiting the tank towards the absorption area or backing up into your property.

Once this happens pumping will not rectify the issue and you will be looking at additional costs to repair your system and if left too long you may have to replace your septic system or at least parts of it which is both expensive and disruptive. We have septic pumping scheduled today for customers who are choosing to keep on top of their septic system maintenance in Rowley, Boxford, Groveland, Peabody, Lynnfield and North Reading MA. If you require septic pumping or if you are not sure if it is time or if you have any questions please do contact our Norton office on 877 378 4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Septic Pumping Is Necessary For Your Septic System

Septic Preservation Services are available to provide your essential septic system maintenance. Septic pumping is necessary for every septic system and if left your septic system will eventually fail. A septic tank is designed to have the capacity for 3-5 years waste. Obviously the volume of waste entering your septic system will affect the regularity that your system needs septic pumping. If your own a small cottage but have a lot of people visiting your septic tank will fill up much quicker. Property owners need to be aware that all wastewater enters the septic system so it is not just toilets but also baths, showers, washing machine, dishwasher etc that will fill up your system. The septic system is designed to match the number of bedrooms in a property so if you have a two bedroom home but have extended family visiting you are potentially straining the ability of your septic system to process the extra demand. Not only will your septic system fill up faster but also the decomposition process can become strained if there is too much excess water in the system, resulting in a variety of problems. Ideally, septic owners should only be using a maximum of 50 gallons of water per day, per person, assuming the number of people using the system corresponds to the size of the septic system as determined by the number of bedrooms in the home. The following averages for common household activities can help you keep track:

· Dishwasher Cycle – 7 gallons
· Washing Machine – 40 gallons per load (less with front-loader machines)
· Toilet – 2 gallons per flush, 1.6 gallons for newer standard toilets
· Shower – 2.5 gallons per minute (a 10 minute shower = 25 gallons)

It can be difficult to stay on top of usage, particularly for large families, but laying down some basic guidelines can help everyone to work together. New environmentally-friendly appliances, toilets and shower heads can help reduce usage without a lot of extra effort. The government Energy Star Website  also has a lot of helpful ideas and tips for reducing water usage. It is also important, to be aware of when you need to schedule septic pumping. Today we have septic pumping scheduled for customers in New Bedford, Mattapoisett, Marion, Westport, Freetown and Fairhaven MA. If you are unsure if you need a septic pump out or if you need to schedule septic pumping or have other questions about your septic system please do contact our Norton office on 877 378 4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Septic Pumping Should Be Done Every 3 – 5 Years

septic system cleaning and pumpingSeptic Preservation Services provide perhaps the most important septic system maintenance service – septic pumping. Septic Systems will always need to be pumped but the frequency can vary depending on a variety of factors including the size of your septic system and the number of people that are using it. However as a general guide you should have your septic system pumped every 3-5 years or annually if you have a garbage disposal. This is because normally, properly designed tanks have enough space for up to three to five years’ safe accumulation of sludge. When the sludge level increases beyond this point, sewage has less time to settle properly before leaving the tank. As the sludge level increases, more solid wastes escape into the soil absorption system (SAS) or leach field/ drain field. If the SAS becomes so clogged that it cannot absorb liquid at the rate at which it enters the tank, the plumbing will “back up” or unsanitary wastewater will bubble to the surface. You really don’t want to wait until you have sewage ‘bubbling’ to the surface in your yard or backing up into your house so it is a good idea to keep up with your septic pumping schedule. Today we have septic pumping scheduled for customers in Plymouth, Carver, Halifax, Rochester, Sandwich and Bourne MA. If you need to schedule a septic pump out or if you have questions about pumping or your septic system please do contact our Norton office on 877 378 4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Septic Cleaning in Addition To Septic Pumping Helps Your Septic System Work Correctly

Septic Preservation Services understand that part of any good septic system preventative maintenance program is to ensure that it is properly cleaned and pumped on a regular basis However it is also important to know the facts about septic cleaning and pumping to avoid making costly mistakes. Inside your septic tank solid waste matter sinks to the bottom and grease and oils float to the top. Treated liquid waste flows through pipes into a drain field or leach field. If too much solid waste accumulates it clogs the drain pipes, prevents liquids from escaping, and leads to sewage backups into your home and a health hazard because waste is not treated before exiting your septic system. A properly maintained septic system should only have a septic pump out every 2-5 years, as needed, to avoid removing the “good” bacteria and keep the system running smoothly. Septic pumping will ensure that your septic system does not ‘fill up’ with waste. Getting your tanks cleaned on a regular basis will help to improve the efficiency of your septic system and keep it running smoothly. Septic Preservation Services takes pride in the work that we do, utilizing specialized miniature equipment to locate specific areas of your system, such as a sewer cam that is used to investigate the inside of your sewer lines, and jetting equipment to clean the pipes within the leach field. It is important to understand that septic pumping does not always mean that your system will also be cleaned and leaving solid buildup in the septic tank or not having your leach field pipes jetted can mean that even if your system is pumped blockages can still occur which can result in septic system failures and potentially unpleasant, expensive and harmful repercussions. Today we have septic cleaning appointments in Berlin, Clinton, Bolton, Marlborough, Sterling and Grafton MA.

Rhode Island Septic Inspections

Septic Preservation Services has been working in the septic industry in Rhode Island for many years and can provide many septic services including septic pumping, septic repairs, septic design, septic cleaning and perhaps most often septic inspections. We provide inspections most regularly for people who are selling a home and need an inspection to provide buyers with information pertaining to their septic system. This is called a septic functional inspection. The functional inspection is especially intended for use during a property transfer as a means to protect the consumer and identify systems in need of upgrade or repair. Other inspections that we carryout include the periodic ISDS (Individual Sewage Disposal System) Inspections that some Rhode Island towns require. The town will notify you, usually by mail, that it’s time for an inspection. We also provide inspections for homeowners who want to know the condition of their septic system so they can be sure that it is working correctly and catch any issues before they become large septic problems or breakdowns. A First Maintenance Septic Inspection is to establish what type of septic system you have, if the system poses any risk to public health, if there is any risk to the environment, and determine if any immediate corrective actions should be taken. We have septic inspections scheduled today in Barrington, Tiverton, Little Compton, Middletown and Portsmouth Rhode Island. If you require a septic inspection, for any reason or if you require any other septic services or if you have any questions about septic systems please do contact our office on 877-378-4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Be Aware Of Your Septic System’s Capacity And Get A Septic Pumping When Necessary

Septic Preservation Services has septic pumping scheduled in Barnstable, Eastham, Dennis, Brewster, Orleans and Mashpee MA. It is important to have your septic system pumped every 3-5 years but this can vary dramatically depending on the size of your septic system and the water usage. We have one customer who has a small property on Cape Cod, with a correspondingly small septic system, which gets much heavier usage during the summer, especially when they host large family gatherings. These events puts a huge strain on their septic system. They have found that it is more cost effective to hire portable toilets for their events than to have their septic system pumped much more regularly due to the excessive use it gets periodically and risk failures due to the large increase in usage it gets at these times. If you wish to schedule septic pumping or if you have any questions regarding pump outs or septic systems please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit

Septic Cleaning Will Improve The Efficiency Of Your Septic System And Keep It Running Smoothly

Septic Preservation Services know that when you are thinking about your septic system (if you are ever thinking about your septic system) one word that is unlikely to be the first or even the tenth is ‘clean’. However Septic Preservation Services can provide septic cleaning for your septic system and for a very good reason. If you have a septic system it must be pumped regularly, generally every 2-5 years. There is no getting around it, if a septic system is used it will eventually fill up and must be pumped to work correctly. However when you have your septic system pumped you are not necessarily having it ‘cleaned’ and a thorough septic cleaning can make a big difference to your system. Getting your tanks cleaned on a regular basis will help to improve the efficiency of your septic system and keep it running smoothly. Quick service pumping companies may seem cheaper but will actually cost property owners down the road because they are not cleaning while they pump. Septic Preservation Services takes pride in the work that we do, utilizing specialized miniature equipment to locate specific areas of your system, such as a sewer cam that is used to investigate the inside of your sewer lines, and jetting equipment to clean the pipes within the leach field. Today we have septic cleaning scheduled in Hudson, Stow, Maynard, Acton, Boxborough, Carlisle and Wayland MA.
