Septic System Services by Septic Preservation

/in , , , , , ,

septic system Septic Preservation Services has always taken responsibility for the uptake of septic systems that we have installed seriously.   We service septic systems for our installation customers in addition to clients who want to have the responsibility of taking care of a septic system taken away, so they can be confident that their system will continue to operate correctly and efficiently and they will not have unexpected and costly septic system failures . We service different septic systems including:

 

  • conventional septic systems
  • pressure distribution systems
  • innovative and alternative systems, such as FAST Systems, Eljen Systems, Presby Systems and Oakson Systems

 

The schedule of a septic system service depends on the system and the use that it has, for example, a small summer cottage that is only used seasonally will not need the same amount of servicing as a large family home or restaurant. We have septic system services scheduled for clients on a quarterly, biannual, or monthly basis, depending on the client.  The property owner does not even generally need to be present for the service so the hassle of septic system maintenance is truly removed from our client.  Today, we have septic service appointments in Raynham, East Bridgewater, Swansea, New Bedford, Westport, and Norton, MA  If you need to schedule a service appointment or are interested in learning more about the benefits of being on a service program please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Tips for Maintaining Your Leach Field

/in , , , , , , ,

Septic Preservation ServicesSeptic 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

Soil and Your Septic System

/in , , , , , , ,

drain fieldDrainfield Soil

 Soil plays a major part in the proper functioning of a septic system. Many people do not realize what an important role the type of soil can make in your drainfield. Soil failure can be  a major cause of septic system failure.

 Soil works as a fine filter, and is the home to trillions of microscopic organisms that feed on organic matter in the effluent from the drainfield.

Soil Types

The texture of the soil  determines how quickly wastewater will be absorbed in the drainfield.  Soil percolation is the ability of the soil to absorb water.  The best types of soil for drainage or percolation contain a balance of coarse and fine particles. 

Gravel, or soil with a coarse texture, or coarse sand may not be adequate.  They allow wastewater to pass too quickly to provide adequate treatment. These types of soils work only if they are deep. Soil may be brought in for septic systems and drainfields when the current soil is inadequate.

Clay Soil

Some soil mixtures may contain some particles of clay. Clay soil can be used in drainfields, but water moves through it much slower than in gravel or coarse textured soil. The problem with clay particles is that they can swell and block soil passages.  This slows the movement of wastewater even more.  If clay particles  electronically bond to sodium molecules contained in wastewater, hardpan can occur.  The passage of wastewater is totally blocked and this can lead to septic failure. Hardpan conditions in clay soil can be chemically treated.  There are some products on the market to treat this condition.

Since soil plays such a critical part in the life of your septic system, it’s best to leave it up to the experts.  Call Septic Preservation Services at 877-378-4279 for all your septic needs and questions.  Ask them about their septic system maintenance program.  Or visit  www.septicpreservation.com
