Septic Preservation ServicesMeet another member of the Septic Preservation Family:  Roberta Murphy.
Roberta is currently celebrating her 5th anniversary at SPS.  Her job description is Office Manager but she wears many hats at SPS.  According to Roberta:
” There have been many challenges and successes since my hire in June of 2012.  We were operating out of the boss’s basement back then and we were a team of 5.  Since that time we have purchased a building, that now houses our offices,  and we have purchased three companies and are now a team of 13.”
 Roberta particularly enjoys the  awesome holiday and summer get togethers that Septic Preservation Services hosts.  She recalls many funny stories since starting at SPS and jokes, ” Being in the business of the “business end” you can imagine the stories and jokes.”
Roberta feels that the best part of her job is coming to work and spending time with her co-workers.  She feels they are great to work with.
Outside of work, she  enjoys cooking, entertaining, reading and gardening.

Elizabeth AlvesMeet Elizabeth Alves of Septic Preservation Services.  Liz started working at Septic Preservation Services in April of 2015.  She has been a member of the team for 2 years and is Division Manager of the All Clear Septic and Wastewater Services Division of SPS.  She is Title 5 licensed and is certified to perform inspections in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.  Her favorite part of her job is working with customers and helping them solve their septic issues.  Liz is fluent in Portuguese and this is extremely helpful with Portuguese speaking clients.  She is also a notary republic.

Personally, Liz resides in Attleboro with her husband and three children.  She is active in a  Portuguese Heritage Group in Stoughton and performs at Portuguese Carnival Dances where she sings and plays the guitar.  She really enjoys this in her leisure time and is also involved in an All Girl dancing and singing group in East Providence.

Liz started at SPS as a novice but has really enjoyed learning the ins and outs of the septic business to better help her clients.  Liz recalls jumping right into the training during her first days on the job.  She was excited to volunteer for the hands-on learning activities but was a little surprised when she came across her first activity with a odorous septic tank.  She was a little taken back by the smell but continued on, determined to complete the task.

Al Rivet

Meet Al Rivet of All Clear Septic and Wastewater Services

/in , , , , , , , , ,

Al RivetMeet Al Rivet of All Clear Septic and Wastewater Services.  Al plays many roles in the All Clear Septic and Septic Preservation Services Team.  He is the founder of All Clear Septic and Wastewater Services started in 2004.  He is a Title 5 educator, a member of the teaching team for Functional Inspections at University of Rhode Island, and  an integral part of realtor relations, and educating realtors on Title 5 issues.

Personally, Al is a lifelong resident of the Southcoast area.  He has a graduate degree from Salve Regina University and is a US Army Veteran as well as 25 years in law enforcement.   He has been married for 48 years to Elizabeth Rivet and is a father to nine children and a grandfather to 30.

His favorite part of his job is working with people and  his ability to help people with important septic issues.

Outside of work, Al enjoys spending time with his wife and children and grandchildren.  He likes spending time at the beach, walking, biking, and kayaking.

One of the memorable stories from his septic experience is a family in a fairly new, two-year old home.  The family consisted of a couple with two children.  The septic system had failed in a short amount of time.  Why?  The culprit was antibacterial soap.  The Dad was a doctor and used a large amount of antibacterial soap in the home and the Mom flushed a good deal of hair coloring chemicals down the drain.  Both contributed to the failure.

A funny story he remembers:

“Several years ago, Beth, one of my eight daughters was working with me digging up a septic tank for a title 5 inspection. This was her lucky summer of high school working with Dad.  I was digging up the d-box while she was digging up the tank.  She opened the cover to the tank and me, with my back to her, heard a noise.  She was gagging at the odor emanating from the tank.  We both had quite a laugh about that. She toughed it out and continued working on the other cover!  Many laughs over the years reminiscing about that odorous summer. ”

Al is pleased to be an integral part of the team.  Stay tuned to meet more members of the Septic Preservation team.
