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.

Importance of Septic Tank Pumping

/in Bob Silva, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, norton, Septic Preservation Services, septic pumping /by

Septic Preservation Services is often called on by property owners who have septic problems created when they don’t carry out the basic maintenance necessary when you own a property with a septic system. A septic tank should be pumped every 3 – 5 years depending on various factors, including water usage and tank size. If the tank fills up with an excess of solids, the wastewater will not have enough time to settle in the tank. These excess solids will then pass on to the leach field, where they will clog the drain lines and soil. We have septic pumping scheduled today in Berlin, Hudson, Clinton, Northborough, Stow, Maynard, and Bolton, MA. It is unwise to put off septic pumping, so if you need to schedule an appointment or have questions about septic pump outs please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Septic System Usage Tips by Septic Preservation

/in Bob Silva, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, Septic Preservation Services, septic services, septic system maintenance, usage tiips /by

Septic Preservation Services provides services and maintenance for septic system owners, however, we also provide information to septic system owners. We want to help ensure that septic system owners are using their septic system correctly, which will often mean that they will not need as many unscheduled maintenance and repairs. Conventional septic systems can function very well with minimal care. In fact, most septic tanks will only require an inspection and pumping out every three to five years if they are used properly. A few good things to remember are:

Have your septic system inspected and pumped every 3 to 5 years. If the tank fills up with an excess of solids, the wastewater will not have enough time to settle in the tank. These excess solids will then pass on to the leach field, where they will clog the drain lines and soil.
Know the location of your septic system and drain field, and keep a record of all inspections, pumpings, repairs, contract or engineering work for future references. Keep a sketch of it handy for service visits.
Take leftover hazardous chemicals to your approved hazardous waste collection center for disposal. Use bleach, disinfectants, and drain and toilet bowl cleaners sparingly and in accordance with product labels.
Your toilet or sink is not a trash can so don’t dump non-biodegradables (cigarette butts, diapers, feminine products, etc.) or grease down your sink or toilet. Non-biodegradables can clog the pipes, while grease can thicken and clog the pipes. Store cooking oils, fats, and grease in a can for disposal in the garbage.
Do not put paint thinner, polyurethane, anti-freeze, pesticides, some dyes, disinfectants, water softeners, and other strong chemicals into the system. These can cause major upsets in the septic tank by killing the biological part of your septic system and polluting the groundwater. Small amounts of standard household cleaners, drain cleansers, detergents, etc. will be diluted in the tank and should cause no damage to the system.
Excessive laundry loads with your washing machine does not allow your septic tank time to adequately treat wastes and overwhelms the entire system with excess wastewater.
Do not use chemical solvents to clean the plumbing or septic system. “Miracle” chemicals will kill microorganisms that consume harmful wastes. These products can also cause groundwater contamination

Tips for Septic System Maintenance

Tips for Your Septic System

It’s important to keep your septic system running smoothly. There are many things you can change in your household habits to prolong the life of your septic system and keep repairs at bay.

Conserve water whenever possible as a means of reducing the volume of wastewater that will need to be treated and disposed. Take shorter showers and turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth and doing dishes. Turn it back on to rinse.

Make repairs to any faucets or toilets that are leaking. That is simply wasting water and putting extra water into the septic tank and leachfield.

Make sure that you are only discharging biodegradable wastes into your system. Avoid using cleaners with bleach and harsh chemicals. Choose natural ingredients or make your own homemade cleaners with household ingredients.

Use 1 ply toilet paper and avoid using too much. Do not flush, diapers, feminine hygiene products, tissues, wipes or paper towels.

Restrict or avoid use of your garbage disposal. They can wreak havoc with septic systems.

Avoid putting grease, oils, fats, paint or excess food down your drains. Throw them away or wash outside.

Take the time to ensure that any down spouts or other surface water is diverted away from your drainfield.

It’s a good idea to keep the cover to your septic tank accessible by installing covers and risers for easier inspections and pumping.

Get your septic tank pumped regularly and have it checked for any cracks or leaks.

You can also have an effluent filter installed to prevent debris from entering your drainfield.

You can also add a laundry filter to your washing machine. Space out your loads of laundry and dishwashing loads to keep your leachfield from getting flooded.

Call Septic Preservation Services for a Voluntary Assessment of your septic system. You can also inquire about becoming part of a preventative maintenance service plan to take all the guess work out of maintaining your septic system and can help you prevent problems before they even occur!

Septic System Odors

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

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.
