Septic System 101

March 8, 2017/in Maine, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, New Hampshire, norton, Septic Preservation Services, septic services

How does your septic system actually work? If you live in a rural area which does not have a centralized sewer system, you most likely have a private septic system. Basically nature and technology combines to treat the wastewater from your household plumbing system including bathroom, kitchen, laundry and any other drains your home possesses.

A typical septic system includes a septic tank and a drainfield which can also be referred to as a leach field or soil absorption field.

The wastewater from your home is sent to the septic tank through one main drainage pipe. The septic tank is a buried water-tight container usually made of concrete, fiberglass or polyethylene. It holds the wastewater and allows the solids to settle to the bottom, forming sludge, and the oils and grease float to the top and form scum. Natural organisms in the septic tank will digest the organic matter. The idea is not to let the sludge and scum leave the tank and enter the leachfield. Compartments and a t-shaped outlet help make that happen.

The liquid wastewater, called effluent, leaves the septic tank and enters the leachfield. The leachfield is a shallow, covered excavation created in unsaturated soil. Engineering plans are required for the best placement of the septic tank and leachfield on the property. The pretreated effluent is discharged through piping onto the porous surface of the leachfield and filtered through the soil. The soil treats the wastewater as it percolates through the soil and eventually joins the groundwater. If the drainfield is overloaded with too much wastewater, it could flood, causing the sewage to flow to the surface or backup into the house. The wastewater percolates into the soil, naturally removing coliform bacteria, viruses and nutrients.

Maintenance is a key component to keeping your septic system functioning properly. Pumping your septic tank, generally every 3 years, depending on your household size and habits, is essential.

Call Septic Preservation Services to schedule a pumping or join their septic maintenance program. They can answer all your questions. You can reach them at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Septic System Odors

March 1, 2017/in Bob Silva, emergency services, Maine, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, New Hampshire, norton, preventative maintenance, septic cleaning, Septic Preservation Services, septic repairs, septic system maintenance

Septic system odors can have many causes. Some can be minor, others more serious. In cold weather, the causes can vary. Pinpointing the source of the smell is usually the first step. Downdrafts from the vent pipe on the roof may cause odor, but would vary with weather conditions and wind and subside as the day warms.

There could be a problem with a frozen drainfield, blocked tank inlet or outlet, or other blocked pipes. Backup may occur in the home if this is the case. Check the lowest drain in the system first. Call a professional right away if you suspect this is the problem.

Long, persistent odors and wet spots over the tank and drainfield could mean septic system failure. Check for effluent outside and wet spots where the grass may be particularly lush.

Does it smell right near the house? Broken pipes or leaky pipes could account for this. Effluent could be leaking out of the pipe and running along the pipe trench rather than through the pipe itself. Blocked pipes could also be the problem forcing the sewage back toward the home.

The best course of action is to call a professional right away. Septic Preservation Services have 24 hour emergency services as well as trained septic professionals to evaluate the problem and make any necessary repairs, which could save money down the road and prevent septic failure.
