Importance of Septic Tank Pumping
Septic Preservation Services is often called on by property owners who have septic problems created when they don’t carry out the basic maintenance necessary when you own a property with a septic system. A septic tank should be pumped every 3 – 5 years depending on various factors, including water usage and tank size. If the tank fills up with an excess of solids, the wastewater will not have enough time to settle in the tank. These excess solids will then pass on to the leach field, where they will clog the drain lines and soil. We have septic pumping scheduled today in Berlin, Hudson, Clinton, Northborough, Stow, Maynard, and Bolton, MA. It is unwise to put off septic pumping, so if you need to schedule an appointment or have questions about septic pump outs please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com
Flushable Wipes! Wipes are everywhere and are the ultimate convenience. There are baby wipes for changing diapers and general cleanups, kitchen wipes, make-up wipes, wipes with bleach, floor wipes, pet wipes, bathroom wipes and even flushable wipes. They make our life easier especially on the go, but should we be flushing any of these down the toilet, even the ones that claim to be flushable?
While you can’t control the weather, it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on your septic system during extremely rainy weather. Drainfields are designed to handle your wastewater but during extremely wet weather, excess water can puddle over the the septic tank and keep water from flowing out into the soil. A boggy drainfield is natural after heavy rains, but keep an eye for water receding and drying out after the rain is over. Consistent bogginess and odor may mean septic problems. This is especially true for older systems.
