Septic Repairs in Norton, MA

Septic Preservation Services were called out for a septic repair to a septic system for a private home in Norton MA. The home owner had been noticing sewage smells coming from their plumbing and slow running drains so called us to discuss their concerns. Luckily they did not procrastinate for long and we were able to provide a simple septic repair for them which may not have been possible if they had waited for much longer. Small septic issues can become large septic problems and even total septic failures if they are left unattended for too long. We also have septic repairs today in Rehoboth, Attleboro, Seekonk, Mansfield and Taunton MA. If you need a septic repair or if you have questions or concerns about your septic system please do contact us at our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit https://www.septicpreservation.com where we would be happy to help you.

Septic Inspections Often Lead To Referrals and Repeat Business

Septic Preservation Services have spent many years in this region providing septic services to property owners. Often the first contact we will have with a client is when they request a septic inspection because they are selling a property or sometimes buying a property with a septic system. This is because in Massachusetts a system inspection is required:

“Within 2 years before a sale. If weather conditions prevent inspection at the time of a sale, the inspection must take place within 6 months afterward.” For more information see https://www.mass.gov/guides/buying-or-selling-property-with-a-septic-system

Today we have septic inspections in Mattapoisett, Marion, New Bedford, Westport, Freetown, Fall River and Swansea MA. We provide thorough, professional and convenient inspections so much of our business comes from referrals or repeat business. Once we have performed a septic inspection we are then contacted by that customer or by people they have referred to us for septic services, septic repairs, septic improvements, septic upgrades, septic designs, septic installations, septic pumping or additional septic inspections. If you require a septic inspection or any other septic service or if you have any questions about your septic system please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit https://www.septicpreservation.com where we will be happy to help you.

Septic Repairs Carried Out And Sometimes Confined Space Entry Is Required

Septic Preservation Services has extensive experience working with septic systems and can use this experience to locate the source of your septic problem and fix it. When we are called out to your property for a septic repair we will assess the condition of your septic system and will then present you with a range of options designed to correct any identified issues. Sometimes a septic repair will require that we use specialised equipment or enter a confined space to repair your system. We ensure that technicians who are required to do this have the specific confined space training. To ensure that our technicians are safe at least two trained employees must be present to enter a confined space, air sampling is conducted and documented and specific equipment including a tripod, harness and retrieval line are used. This way we can ensure that your septic system is repaired in the most efficient and safe way possible. Today we have septic repairs scheduled in Uxbridge, Bellingham, Blackstone, Wrentham, Franklin, Millis and Holliston MA.

Our Monthly Safety Meeting Ensures That In Our Busiest Season Safety Is Not Compromised

Septic Preservation Services takes the safety of its employees and customers extremely seriously. Our May monthly safety meeting was designed to prepare our workforce for the coming busy season and to review common hazardous exposures, discuss safety controls and review dig-safe importance. We had employees attend the safety meeting in person and remotely from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maine. Traditionally we are always busier in the months from Spring – Fall with septic service contracts, septic repairs resulting from those services, work delayed due to weather, increased real estate movement and with the usual new customers and referrals. However this increased workload should not mean that safety is at all compromised and our monthly meetings are there to ensure that does not happen. The meeting specifically addressed topics including driving safety, infectious disease controls, ergonomics, preventing falls and confined space entry controls. We have an excellent reputation in New England and want to maintain that by ensuring that our staff receive the best possible training. If you have questions about septic systems or wish to make an appointment please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit https://www.septicpreservation.com

Septic Repairs Can Sometimes Be Avoided Following Simple Steps

Septic Preservation Services provide advice to their customers to ensure that they use their septic systems correctly and are therefore less likely to have septic system problems. Very importantly to take good care of your septic systems you should know which items should never be flushed down the drain or toilet. This is because these things can overtax or destroy the biological digestion taking place within the system or clog pumps and pipes.

Take care not to flush the following:

  • hair combings, dental floss, disposable diapers, condoms, gauze bandages, sanitary napkins, tampons
  • coffee grounds, kitty litter, fat, grease, oil, cigarette butts, paper towels
  • chemicals that could contaminate surface and groundwater, such as paints, varnishes, thinners, waste oils, photographic solutions, or pesticides.

Unfortunately we have attended many septic repairs that could have been avoided if this advice had been followed. Today we have septic repairs scheduled in Rochester, Rehoboth, Berkley, Lakeville and Middleboro MA. If you require a septic repair or if you have any questions please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit https://www.septicpreservation.com

DO get your septic tank pumped regularly and have it checked for any cracks or leaks.
DO have an effluent filter installed to prevent debris from entering your drainfield.
DO add a laundry filter to your washing machine.

Another septic upgrade we can provide to customers is the addition of an effluent filter. Engineers, scientists and educators in the septic industry suggest that property owners install an effluent filter in the outlet tee of their septic tank to extend the life of their system. Due to the high cost associated with replacing a septic system, these seemingly small upgrades to your system can pay off in a big way.
