Septic Repairs Can Often Be Avoided By Using Your System Correctly
/in Bob Silva, Cape Cod, marion, Massachusetts, norton, rochester, Septic Preservation Services, septic repairs, septic system education, septic system repairsSeptic Preservation Services know that septic systems have to be used correctly for them to continue to work efficiently and function as they should. A large part of this is is just knowing what is being introduced to your septic system and making sure that anything that goes into it is appropriate and wont adversely affect your system. All wastewater makes its way to your septic system and everything that goes into your sink, toilet, washing machine and shower/bath will also get introduced into your septic system. Keep the following items out of your septic system to prevent problems:
It is important to note, however, that each system is unique. Check with your septic system installer or manufacturer for a complete list of items that should not make their way into your system for maximum efficiency. There are also many other things that should stay out of your system and there is no way that we can list all of the items. We have found toys, dead fish, clothing and jewelry in septic systems and all of these items were causing a problem that led to us investigating the cause. Simply put if you are not sure do not put it in your wastewater. We have septic repairs scheduled today in Carver, Middleboro, Bourne, Marion and Rochester today. One of these repairs is necessary because the homeowner was unaware of the large volume of sand that was being introduced to their septic system via the washing machine and shower by their teenage children.

Summer Storms Are Not A Problem For Title 5 Septic Inspections
/in Bob Silva, Massachusetts, norton, septic inspection, septic inspections, Septic Preservation Services, title 5, title 5 inspectionsSeptic Preservation Services are enjoying the summer and sunshine. However in New England summer storms are as much a part of the season as sun and sand. It is something that we are all used to and potentially stormy days like today do not stop us working. Today we have Title 5 Septic Inspections in Canton, Sharon, Stoughton, Foxboro, Millis and Franklin MA. However should a septic inspection not be able to take place the state of Massachusetts makes allowances:
“If weather conditions prevent an inspection before a sale, Title 5 allows the inspection to be done up to 6 months afterwards, provided that the seller notifies the buyer in writing of the need to complete the inspection.”
If we do find that we have to rearrange an inspection we will endeavour to find a time and date that is convenient to your timeline and schedule.
If you need to have a Title 5 Septic Inspection or if you have any questions about septic systems or septic inspections please do contact our Norton Office on 877-378-4279 or visit the Septic Preservation website.

We also have a septic inspection today scheduled in Sharon MA because their property has had an increase in flow so an inspection was required. As stated on the Mas Gov Website :
“Changes of Use and Increases in Flow
These situations require a system inspection only if the modification requires a building permit or occupancy permit. For example:
adding a bedroom to a house
adding seats to a restaurant
changing the type of business operating at a commercial location.
Check with your Building Department or Board of Health to find out if your modification meets these requirements.
Any change in the footprint of a building also requires an inspection to determine the location of the system, to ensure that construction will not be located on top of any system components or on the reserve area. Check with your local Board of Health.”

Septic Cleaning and Septic Pumping In Lakeville MA
/in Bob Silva, garbage disposals, lakeville, Massachusetts, norton, septic cleaning, Septic Preservation Services, septic pumping, septic system cleaning and pumping, septic system pumpingSeptic Preservation Services have been called out to a customer property in Lakeville MA to provide septic cleaning and pumping. Septic pumping will remove all of the sludge from the property’s septic tank which can not be processed like the liquid waste is. However septic cleaning takes the pumping one step further and ensures that their septic system is not just pumped but it is also cleaned. We utilize specialized miniature equipment to locate specific areas of their system, such as a sewer cam which is used to investigate the inside of the sewer lines, and jetting equipment to clean the pipes within the leach field. When you have your septic system cleaned and pumped you are improving the efficiency of your system and making sure that it will keep running smoothly until your next pump out is due. Septic pumping is usually required every 3-5 years but this can vary depending on a variety of factors such as the size of the tank and the amount of wastewater that is being processed. If you have a garbage disposal you will need a septic pump out annually. Today we have additional septic cleaning and septic pumping appointments in Mansfield, Sharon, Stoughton, Canton and West Bridgewater MA.
