If you are selling a property and you need to have a Title 5 Inspection to be carried out because your property has a septic system, you may be concerned about the impact of the inspection on your property. In actuality there is not often the need for extensive excavation. As specified on the Massachusetts Official Website of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs

“The location and condition of cesspools, septic tanks and distribution boxes must be determined. Often, this will not require extensive excavation. Generally, leaching areas are not required to be dug up.”

With the use of plans and reading the landscape, our technicians are usually able to locate septic tanks and the distribution box with minimal digging, and once they have taken the required information they can leave the area as they found it.
If you need to schedule a Title 5 Septic Inspection or if you have any questions about the process please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Septic Pumping is Essential

April 25, 2017/in Bob Silva, lakeville, Maine, marion, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, New Hampshire, norton, rochester, septic cleaning, Septic Preservation Services, septic pumping, septic services, septic system pumping

Septic Preservation Services can help you ensure that your septic system continues to operate correctly by having your septic tank pumped. Septic pumping is essential every 3 – 5 years to ensure that your tank does not overflow . As you can imagine, it is not advisable to leave pumping too late because the results can be unpleasant and expensive to fix. The regularity that your tank needs to be pumped will vary slightly from various factors, including water usage and the size of your tank. For example, a family with 5 members, including teenagers, will typically use more water, and therefore, need their tank pumped sooner than a home with a retired couple. However, this too can vary dramatically if that couple have extended family visiting for a prolonged period. Essentially, if you are unsure, please do call our office, where we will be happy to answer any questions. Today we are pumping septic systems for customers in Mansfield, Norton, Lakeville, Rochester, Marion, Middleboro, and Carver, MA.

Septic Cleaning and Pumping

SEPTIC CLEANING & PUMPING

Part of any good Preventative Maintenance Program is to ensure that your septic system is properly cleaned and is pumped on a regular basis. It is important to know the facts about septic cleaning and pumping to avoid making costly mistakes.

SEPTIC CLEANING

Getting your tanks cleaned on a regular basis will help to improve the efficiency of your septic system and keep it running smooth. It is important to select your service provider carefully to ensure that you get quality work. Be sure that when comparing prices that you compare apples to apples. Some differences that may effect cost are the size of the tank, how deep the covers are buried, and if there is a filter to clean.

Septic Preservation takes pride in the work that we do, utilizing specialized equipment to locate specific areas of your system, such as a sewer camera that is used to investigate the inside of your sewer lines, and jetting equipment to clean the pipes within the leach field.

SEPTIC PUMPING

pumping Some pumping services will tell you that you need to get your septic system pumped every 6 months or on an annual basis. The truth is that a properly maintained septic system should only be pumped based on the accumulation of sludge and scum, which is typically every 2-5 years. Pumping too frequently is costly and usually not necessary.

If you would like a system evaluation and to know how often you should be pumping, give Septic Preservation a call for an evaluation and to set up quick and easy pumping arrangements.

Camouflaging Septic Tank Risers

April 12, 2017/in Bob Silva, Maine, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, New Hampshire, norton

How do you keep your septic tank risers out of sight?

If you have had your septic system outfitted with the proper septic tank risers, you most likely have a cover sitting in the middle of your garden, lawn or somewhere unsightly. Keeping these covers easily accessible is important, but that doesn’t mean you have to put a sign on them! Hiding these risers is very simple and easy, and can be done without getting in the way of someone servicing your system.

The simplest way is to just put a light fake stone or decorative item on the cover. The key here is to keep it light, you don’t want to damage your system and the service company can pump the system as needed. A lighthouse, light birdbath or other decorative lawn ornament is an easy way to keep that riser out of sight!

Another way is to plant small plants around it. This will effectively camouflage the cover from most people. Keep in mind that should anyone need to access the tank, the plants may get in the way so be sure to leave space somewhere so the septic crew can get to the tank unhindered.

Rock features or stepping stones are another great way to keep the cover out of sight. Placing these around the cover with some light decorative item over the cover itself is a great way to hide the riser. It also may be a way to ad a nice decorative piece to your lawn!

If you need an inspection, have questions or need septic services, please call Septic Preservation Services at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Rainy Weather and Your Septic System

April 5, 2017/in All Clear Septic, All Clear Septic & Wastewater service, Bob Silva, Maine, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, New Hampshire, norton, rain, rhode island, Septic Preservation Services, septic repairs, septic services, septic system maintenance, septic system repairs

Rain, Rain Go Away!

It’s been a long, strange winter. We’ve had some snow, a warm spell in February, and more snow, and now a cold and wet spring. Winter does not seem to want to let go. How does all this rain affect your septic system?

Heavy rains can cause septic issues. Significant rainfall can quickly flood the ground around the leach field or drainfield leaving it saturated and making it impossible for water to flow out of your septic system. When the water has nowhere to go, it can eventually travels backward through the plumbing system and back into drains and toilets and into your home. When the drainfield becomes flooded, it can also lead to untreated sewage flowing into the groundwater and local streams. This can lead to environmental contamination.

There are things you can do to help minimize any damage to the way your septic system functions and keep everything functioning smoothly.

Before it starts to rain:

Prevention is always the best bet. Make sure your septic system is properly maintained, and is regularly pumped. Septic problems can be worse if your tank needs to be pumped or the system has not been properly maintained.
Keeping water away from the home and the drain field is key. Rain gutters are important. Make sure all gutters drain away from the drainfield area so as not to saturate the area, and make sure you clean the gutters in the fall and spring to help the water drain properly.
Maintenance of your drain field is essential. Do not drive any heavy equipment or other vehicles that could compact the soil over the drainfield. This can compromise the soil absorption field’s ability to treat wastewater. Also, plant only grass above the drainfield or groundcover with shallow roots. Do not plant any trees or vegetation with deep roots which could harm the leach field.

During the rainstorm:

If you begin to notice that your drainfield is flooded, be alert to drains that are not draining quickly, toilets that flush slower or make strange sounds, or water that is backing up into your basement. To take pressure off your system and allow it to recoup, use it less. If possible, reduce or eliminate water going down the drains until the drainfield dries out. Hold off on laundry until the water recedes. Try to cut back on showers, and dishwashing and flush the toilet only when necessary. It should only be a day or two until the rain stops and the sun dries up some of the excess water.

After the Storm

If the water does not recede and you suspect that your septic system is still not working properly, it’s time to call in a professional. Septic Preservation is able to quickly come out and check your system and offer a solution. It may include pumping the system or repairs may be needed. Do not wait to have your system checked. This could greatly increase your chances of major septic repairs or septic system failure.
Septic Preservation also has a great septic maintenance program. Take the worry out of your septic system and call Septic Preservation at 877-378-4279 and let them put you on their maintenance program. This can help you extend the life of your system.
