Septic Preservation Experienced with Cesspool Service

/in Bob Silva, cesspool, cesspool service, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, norton, Septic Preservation Services, septic repairs /by

Septic Preservation Services has extensive experience working with customers with cesspools on their properties. A cesspool is a pit which acts as both a settling chamber for solids and a leaching system for liquids. The use of cesspools may overload the capacity of the soil to remove bacteria, viruses, and phosphorus, and to nitrify ammonia and organic nitrogen compounds. Septic Inspections do not require cesspools to be replaced, however, they do need to be maintained. If they exhibit signs of hydraulic failure, are located extremely close to private or public water supplies, or otherwise fail to protect, or pose a threat to public health, safety or the environment, they will need to be upgraded. We provide cesspool services and repairs and have also done cesspool replacements when required. Today we have appointments for both cesspool repairs and services in Ayer, Boxborough, Acton, Stow, Hudson, Marlborough, and Berlin, MA. If you have a cesspool and need cesspool service, cesspool repairs, or have any questions, please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Rainy Weather and Your Septic System

Rain, Rain Go Away!

It’s been a long, strange winter. We’ve had some snow, a warm spell in February, and more snow, and now a cold and wet spring. Winter does not seem to want to let go. How does all this rain affect your septic system?

Heavy rains can cause septic issues. Significant rainfall can quickly flood the ground around the leach field or drainfield leaving it saturated and making it impossible for water to flow out of your septic system. When the water has nowhere to go, it can eventually travels backward through the plumbing system and back into drains and toilets and into your home. When the drainfield becomes flooded, it can also lead to untreated sewage flowing into the groundwater and local streams. This can lead to environmental contamination.

There are things you can do to help minimize any damage to the way your septic system functions and keep everything functioning smoothly.

Before it starts to rain:

Prevention is always the best bet. Make sure your septic system is properly maintained, and is regularly pumped. Septic problems can be worse if your tank needs to be pumped or the system has not been properly maintained.
Keeping water away from the home and the drain field is key. Rain gutters are important. Make sure all gutters drain away from the drainfield area so as not to saturate the area, and make sure you clean the gutters in the fall and spring to help the water drain properly.
Maintenance of your drain field is essential. Do not drive any heavy equipment or other vehicles that could compact the soil over the drainfield. This can compromise the soil absorption field’s ability to treat wastewater. Also, plant only grass above the drainfield or groundcover with shallow roots. Do not plant any trees or vegetation with deep roots which could harm the leach field.

During the rainstorm:

If you begin to notice that your drainfield is flooded, be alert to drains that are not draining quickly, toilets that flush slower or make strange sounds, or water that is backing up into your basement. To take pressure off your system and allow it to recoup, use it less. If possible, reduce or eliminate water going down the drains until the drainfield dries out. Hold off on laundry until the water recedes. Try to cut back on showers, and dishwashing and flush the toilet only when necessary. It should only be a day or two until the rain stops and the sun dries up some of the excess water.

After the Storm

If the water does not recede and you suspect that your septic system is still not working properly, it’s time to call in a professional. Septic Preservation is able to quickly come out and check your system and offer a solution. It may include pumping the system or repairs may be needed. Do not wait to have your system checked. This could greatly increase your chances of major septic repairs or septic system failure.
Septic Preservation also has a great septic maintenance program. Take the worry out of your septic system and call Septic Preservation at 877-378-4279 and let them put you on their maintenance program. This can help you extend the life of your system.
