Septic Preservation Services is committed to providing septic services and education to our customers. A modern septic system leach field can last twenty years or more if you and your family:

 

• Minimize the use of the garbage disposal
• Do not put grease down your drains
• Spread loads of laundry out over time rather than doing multiple loads in a short period of time, and use liquid detergents rather than powdered detergents
• Avoid excessively long showers
• Avoid leaving tap water running when shaving, brushing teeth, or doing other personal or household tasks
• Do not flush medications, harmful chemicals, excessive amounts of bleach, harsh drain cleaners or degreasers
• Have the septic tank pumped at least every three years
• Do not add any septic systems cleaners, enzymes or additives
• Remove water conditioning backwash discharges from the septic system
• Do not plant trees and shrubs over leach fields
• Do not flush personal products, paper towels, wipes, or diapers
• Do not clean or rinse paint brushes in the sinks
• Equip all hot tubs, spas, whirlpool baths, etcetera, with drain limiting valves that will only allow five gallons per minute to drain from fixture
• Do not drive vehicles over leach fields

 

Not adhering to these guidelines can dramatically reduce the life of the leach field and will probably cause it to fail prematurely.  If you do find that your septic system or leach field is not operating correctly, Septic Preservation Services are here to repair your system and rectify any problems that you may have.  Today, we have septic repairs scheduled in Norton, Attleboro, Rehoboth, Seekonk, and Westport, MA.  If you have questions about your septic system, or if you need to schedule a septic repair, please do contact our office where our helpful office staff are happy to answer any questions you may have and schedule an appointment if necessary.  You can reach us at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com
