Septic Preservation Services Septic Preservation Services has septic repair appointments for customers today in Bellingham, Franklin, Foxboro, Blackstone, Uxbridge, Wrentham, and Millis, MA.  Customers contact us for many reasons for septic repairs.  Often customers need our technicians to first diagnose the problem and then make suggestions on ways to fix the issue. One of our septic repairs today is for a property whose septic system had a conditional pass after its Title 5 Inspection was carried out.  As specified on the Massachusetts Official website of the executive office of energy and environmental affairs:

 

“A system with specific components that need repair or replacement would qualify for a conditional pass. Examples of system components eligible for a conditional pass include a metal or cracked septic tank, a broken or obstructed pipe, or an uneven distribution box.

When the system component has been repaired or replaced, the Board of Health must issue a Certificate of Compliance confirming that the corrective work has been done.”
We are repairing an uneven distribution box and broken pipe in this instance.  If you need a septic repair, whether it is a small repair or large replacement job, please do contact our office.  Our knowledgeable staff will be able to answer any questions you may have and schedule an appointment if required.  You can reach us at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Do You Need a Title 5 Inspection by Septic Preservation Services?

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Septic Preservation Services Septic Preservation Services have Title 5 Septic Inspections scheduled today for customers in Acushnet, Attleboro, Berkley, Dighton, Norton, Seekonk, and Rehoboth, MA.  One of these Title 5 Inspections is for a newer home that was built within the last 4 years.  Newly constructed homes do not need to have a Title 5 Inspection carried out.  The Certificate of Compliance issued upon completion of a new system or system upgrade by the Board of Health, or MassDEP for state and federal facilities and large systems, excludes the system from inspection requirements for any transfer of title within the next two years.  However once that initial 2 year period is completed, a Title 5 Inspection will need to be done before title transfer.  Therefore, this home is having its first Title 5 Inspection prior to sale.  If you need to schedule a Title 5 Inspection or have any questions regards septic inspections please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com
