January 27, 2017/in All Clear Septic, All Clear Septic & Wastewater service, Bob Silva, Down to Earth Construction, Maine, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, New Hampshire, norton, Septic Preservation Services, septic repairs, septic services, septic system repairs

Septic Preservation Services have septic repairs scheduled in Stratham NH, Bedford NH, Rochester NH, Acton ME, Limerick ME and Raymond, ME. If you suspect that your septic system requires repairs or maintenance it is always inadvisable to delay, because this could lead to more costly and involved repairs later on. Warning signs such as sewer smells in your home, slow running drains, back up in your toilets or a very green and lush leach field, are all signs that should be investigated, because it could mean that you have a septic problem, and left untreated you could have a total septic failure, which may have been avoided with a much less costly repair. If you have any questions or need to schedule an appointment please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Keep a Watch on Septic During Wet Weather

While 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

Risers and Your Septic System

January 18, 2017/in All Clear Septic, All Clear Septic & Wastewater service, Bob Silva, Down to Earth Construction, Maine, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, New Hampshire, norton, rhode island, Septic Preservation Services, septic services

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!

Winter and Your Septic System

January 12, 2017/in All Clear Septic, All Clear Septic & Wastewater service, Bob Silva, Maine, Massachusetts, Mattapoisett, New Hampshire, norton, preventative maintenance, Septic Preservation Services, septic services, winter

Winter is here to stay. Winter can cause some strain on your septic system. With winter, comes snow. Snow is actually a good insulator to keep your system from freezing. Make sure you don’t drive over your septic system. This is especially true in winter. Driving over your septic system can compact the snow and drive it deeper into the ground.

Normal use keeps your septic system from freezing. Beware if you own a vacation or summer house. With sporadic use or no use throughout the winter, there is a possibility of freezing. Sporadic use can help keep this from happening.

Regular use and common sense can keep your septic system running smoothly throughout the winter. Check for leaks in the plumbing so unnecessary water is not saturating the system. Be careful of food products going down the drain as well as bleach and toxic cleaners. Use single ply toilet paper and try not to overload the paper products in the toilets.

When spring thaw hits. try to limit your water usage not to overload the system. Space out your loads of wash and dishwasher cycles. Cut back on showers and long, hot tubs. This will help the melting snow not overload your system.

Septic Preservation Services has a great maintenance program to keep your septic system running smoothly. Call them with all your septic questions. They can find a solution to any of your problems and answer all your questions.
