Keep a Watch on Septic During Wet Weather

wt weatherWhile you can’t control the weather, it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on your septic system during extremely rainy weather.  Drainfields are designed to handle your wastewater but during extremely wet weather, excess water can puddle over the the septic tank and keep water from flowing out into the soil.  A boggy drainfield is natural after heavy rains, but keep an eye for water receding and drying out after the rain is over.  Consistent bogginess and odor may mean septic problems. This is especially true for older systems.

What can you do?  Divert the rainwater away from your septic tank and drainfield through your gutters and drainspouts.   Checking your home for leaky toilets and faucets can keep less water out of your septic system.  Also reducing your water usage inside the home can help.  Shorten your showers and space out your laundry loads or try to put off doing laundry during the extremely wet weather.

Septic maintenance can also help.  Regularly maintaining your septic system and pumping on your tank on a regular basis can be the key to keeping your system healthy and running properly through any weather.  Septic Preservation Services offers a great maintenance program.  Call them with any questions or to get on a maintenance schedule at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Septic Preservation Services Septic Preservation Services have Septic Repairs scheduled today in North Berwick, Berwick, Lebanon, Cape Neddick, Kittery, Wells, Kennebunk, Waterboro and Alfred, ME.  Septic repairs are occasionally necessary for a septic system however some repairs can be avoided if you are aware of what you introduce into your septic system and make some commonsense changes to your habits to ensure that you aren’t adding substances that can clog or damage your septic system. For example don’t pour cooking grease, fat or oil down your sink. Don’t flush baby wipes or ‘flushable’ wipes because they may clog your system. Simple changes such as these can help prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your septic system.

Have Your Septic System Pumped with Septic Preservation Services

Septic Preservation Services Septic Preservation Services have septic pumping scheduled for customers today in Wrentham, Foxboro, Sharon, Mansfield, Taunton, Swansea and North Attleboro, MA.  It is recommended that you have your septic tank regularly pumped to ensure it does not overfill which can lead to costly repairs. Most tanks need pumping approximately every 3 years but this varies depending on the size of your tank and the amount of usage it gets. For example a home with teenagers or young children is likely to have a higher water usage due to showers and the washing machine than one with just adults. If you are unsure, have questions or wish to arrange septic pumping please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Risers and Your Septic System

What are risers, and why should I have them on my septic system?

Enclosed septic system used by Septic Preservation Services

Risers on a septic system are the access points through which a person servicing your septic system can see inside the tank.  In the image below you see the three tubes rising from the top of the system.  Those are the risers.  The top is generally put at ground level for easiest access.  Some systems do not have risers built into them.  When there are no risers present, anyone trying service the system will have to resort to digging holes in the yard to find the access points to the tank. In some cases it is necessary to bring in excavation equipment if the ground proves too difficult to dig by hand.

If you are given the option to add risers to your system, it would be beneficial to anyone servicing the system in the future if you made sure they are put into place before the system is covered over.  Your servicemen will thank you, especially if you call Septic Preservation Services to inspect or service your tank!
