Septic System Installation In Hingham MA

/in , , , , , ,

Septic Preservation Services give you a pinch and a punch for the first of the month! It’s October already and Fall is in full swing with the leaves all turning and pumpkins and Halloween decorations starting to be put up. Although the season is changing we are still doing septic system installations because the ground is not yet totally frozen solid so we are still able to do the excavating and groundwork that is required. Today we have a septic system installation for a customer in Hingham MA. The owner has built a new home themselves but has chosen to have a professional come in to provide the septic design and installation for their new septic. We have an excellent reputation in this region and have been providing septic services for over 25 years so they are confident entrusting their septic system installation to us. We have recently installed other septic systems in Norton, Acushnet and Ware MA. If you require a septic system installation or if you have any questions about septic systems please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Septic Inspections Can Prevent A Septic Failure

/in , , , , ,

Septic Preservation Services know that for many homes in Maine that are remote and therefore not on town sewer their property wastewater purification necessarily requires a septic system. All Septic Systems are designed specifically for their own site and have variances which make them unique but most systems are based on the same principles. A conventional septic system consists of a septic tank, a distribution box and a drainfield. Your septic system treats your household wastewater by temporarily holding it in the septic tank where heavy solids and lighter scum are allowed to separate from the wastewater. The solids stored in the tank are decomposed by bacteria and later pumped out. After partially treated wastewater leaves the tank, it flows into a distribution box, which separates this flow evenly into a network of drainfield trenches. Drainage holes at the bottom of each line allow the wastewater to drain into gravel trenches for temporary storage. This effluent then slowly seeps into the subsurface soil where it is further treated and purified. Your system must be maintained and used correctly to ensure that it is doing its job correctly. A failing septic system can create many unpleasant conditions such as:

  • Hazardous sewage surfacing in yard
  • Health hazards to children and pets
  • Noxious orders over large areas
  • Polluted streams and ponds
  • Sewage back-up in buildings
  • Contaminated wells
  • Breeding areas for mosquitoes

Therefore if you are considering buying a property with a septic system, selling a property with a septic system or own a property with a septic system it is often a very good idea to have septic inspection so you can be confident in the current efficiency and condition of that system. Today we have septic inspections in North Yarmouth, Portland, Falmouth, Windham, Westbrook amd Raymond ME.

Fall Planting Can Result in a Leach Field Repair Being Necessary

/in , , , , , , ,

Septic Preservation Services know that in the fall many people are out raking leaves, pruning and generally getting their yards ready for winter. What most non gardeners do not realize is that for many tree varieties late August, September and October are also the best months to plant them. In fall, the tree can make new roots without having to feed the leaves. Water requirements are much lower without the leaves on the tree. To us it feels cool in fall, but that is actually the best temperature for root growth. Roots grow best in cool soil. A fall planting allows the tree to grow roots in fall and again early spring before leaves develop. This gives the tree a good chance to lay down a good set of roots before they need to collect water and nutrients for the leaves. Unfortunately when you are planting large shrubs or trees in your yard if you do so on your leach field you can unknowingly create a septic problem. The roots and sometimes weight of plants can actually damage your drain field which means that your septic system is no longer working correctly and you may need a leach field repair. Septic systems do an amazing job of returning liquids to the soil for purification but the whole system needs to be functioning correctly for this to happen. When septic system failure occurs, the conditions they create are dangerous. These can include:

Hazardous sewage surfacing in yard
Health hazards to children and pets
Noxious odors over large areas
Polluted streams and ponds
Sewage back-up in buildings
Contaminated wells
Breeding areas for mosquitoes

Today we are at a customer’s home in Portsmouth RI proving a leach field repair which has been damaged when they planed an orchard over it last year. The roots combined with heavy machinery being parked on to of the drainfield during construction have both lead to structural collapse of the leach field piping. A strong sewage odor and dampness over their yard was luckily a sign of a septic problem that the homeowners did not ignore. We can repair the damage so they do not have to worry about the consequences of an inoperative septic system. We also have other septic repairs scheduled today in North Kingstown, Jamestown, Narragansett, Exeter and Richmond RI.

history of the septic system

Septic System Upgrade Starting In Attleboro MA

/in , , , , , , ,

Septic Preservation Services know that septic systems are rated according to their bedroom capacity. When someone says the septic system is “rated” for four bedrooms, it means that the system will handle the waste generated by the people who are expected to sleep in those four bedrooms. It has nothing to do with a number of bathrooms in a home. When you stop to think about it this does make sense because a septic system gets used by people in the property which is better determined by the number of bedrooms and not the number of bathrooms. However property owners must be aware that their system can be overextended either when you have many more people either visiting your home or living in it for an extended period of time. Likewise if many appliances are used at one time – dishwasher, washing machine, shower this can also overload a septic system. The decomposition process can become strained if there is too much excess water in the system, resulting in a variety of problems. If you add a bedroom to your home or your septic system is not supporting the volume of wastewater produced you will need a septic system upgrade to a larger septic system. We have extensive experience with septic system installations and can ensure that you will get a septic system that will be appropriate to your requirements. We have recently provided septic system installations for properties in Orange, Chelmsford and Millbury MA.Today we are starting a septic system upgrade in Attleboro MA.
