Septic Pumping Is Essential Septic System Maintenance

/in /by

Septic Preservation Services not only installs septic systems and repairs septic systems but also provides essential septic system maintenance – perhaps most importantly septic pumping. Septic Systems must be pumped periodically to remain operating correctly. Even if your system seems to be working correctly you do not want to wait it until it shows evidence of septic problems before you choose to pump your system. By then you could have a large septic problem which may require an expensive septic repair whereas staying on top of your septic pumping schedule will ensure that you are doing the most important part of maintaining your septic system. Septic systems do not need to be pumped that often, if fact if you pump too often you can harm your septic system by removing the beneficial bacteria that is required to process your waste. A properly maintained septic system should only be pumped every 2-5 years, as needed, to avoid removing the “good” bacteria and keep the system running smoothly. You only need to have your system pumped annually if you have a garbage disposal. Today we have septic pumping appointments in Bridgewater, Carver, Plymouth, Marshfield, Hingham and Scituate MA. If it has been over three years since you had your septic tank pumped, give Septic Preservation Services a call at our Norton office on 877-378-4279 for an evaluation and to set up quick and easy pumping arrangements.

Title 5 Septic Inspections Carried Out in Massachusetts

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

Septic Preservation Services are pleased that the majority of snow finally melted over the weekend. Although we can still carry out septic services in winter some tasks can’t be done when the ground is frozen and covered in over a foot of snow. However we know that while winter can slow a lot of things down people still need to move house and if they have a septic system in Massachusetts they are required to have a Title 5 Septic Inspection done. Thankfully the regulations acknowledge that living in New England sometimes means that the weather will play a factor in planning so it is stated on the Massachusetts Government Website that”

“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.”

For more information see: https://www.mass.gov/guides/buying-or-selling-property-with-a-septic-system

Today we have Title 5 Septic Inspections scheduled for customers in Norwell, Scituate, Hanover, Hingham, Canton and Stoughton MA. These inspections include ones that had to be rescheduled due to the severe snow we recieved a week ago.

If you require a septic inspection or have questions about septic systems please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or or visit https://www.septicpreservation.com
