Meet Elizabeth Alves of Septic Preservation Services. Liz started working at Septic Preservation Services in April of 2015. She has been a member of the team for 2 years and is Division Manager of the All Clear Septic and Wastewater Services Division of SPS. She is Title 5 licensed and is certified to perform inspections in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Her favorite part of her job is working with customers and helping them solve their septic issues. Liz is fluent in Portuguese and this is extremely helpful with Portuguese speaking clients. She is also a notary republic.

Personally, Liz resides in Attleboro with her husband and three children. She is active in a Portuguese Heritage Group in Stoughton and performs at Portuguese Carnival Dances where she sings and plays the guitar. She really enjoys this in her leisure time and is also involved in an All Girl dancing and singing group in East Providence.

Liz started at SPS as a novice but has really enjoyed learning the ins and outs of the septic business to better help her clients. Liz recalls jumping right into the training during her first days on the job. She was excited to volunteer for the hands-on learning activities but was a little surprised when she came across her first activity with a odorous septic tank. She was a little taken back by the smell but continued on, determined to complete the task.

Experts at Septic System Installation

June 9, 2017/in Bob Silva, installations, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, norton, septic design and installation, Septic Preservation Services, septic system installation

Septic Preservation Services has a septic system installation starting today in Hopkinton, RI. We are installing a septic system for a property owner who previously had a cesspool which had to be replaced as per the Rhode Island Cesspool Act 2007. For more information see:

http://www.dem.ri.gov/programs/benviron/water/permits/isds/pdfs/cessfaqs.pdf

They had to replace their cesspool because they were selling their property and it was part of their sale agreement to have it replaced prior to closing. As specified in the above document:

“ Under the Cesspool Act, any cesspool serving a property subject to sale or transfer with a closing date on or after January 1, 2016, must be removed from service within one year of the closing date. The cesspool must be replaced with a septic system or the building connected to a sewer line if one is available. The upgrade requirement is triggered by the actual closing date. If your property transaction closes prior to January 1, 2016, the upgrade requirement does not apply until the next time the property is transferred.

The law does not specify which party, buyer or seller, is responsible for upgrading the cesspool, only that the upgrade must happen within one year of the closing for the transaction. This means the upgrade is subject to negotiation between the buyer and seller and that either party can take responsibility. If the cesspool is not upgraded within one year, the owner of the property at that time (one year after closing, i.e. the new owner) will be subject to enforcement action.”

If you require a septic system installation for any reason, or have any questions about septic system installations or cesspools please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Septic Preservation Services Experts on Septic Pumping

June 8, 2017/in Bob Silva, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, norton, Septic Preservation Services, septic pumping, septic system pumping

Septic Preservation Services has septic pumping scheduled in Berlin, Clinton, Hudson, Marlborough, Bolton, Boxborough, and Sterling, MA. It is important to have your septic system pumped every 3-5 years but this can vary dramatically depending on the size of your septic system and the water usage. We have one customer who has a small property with a correspondingly small septic system. However, they regularly host large gatherings of friends and family which puts a huge strain on their septic system. They have found that it is more cost effective to hire portable toilets for their events than to have their septic system pumped much more regularly due to the excessive use it gets periodically and risk failures due to the large increase in usage it gets at these times. If you wish to schedule septic pumping or if you have any questions regarding pump outs please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com
