Septic Repairs Should Not Be Put Off

/in , , , , , ,

Septic Preservation Services hopes everyone got what they wanted from Santa Claus this year and had a wonderful holiday with their friends and family. We are certain that septic repairs were not at the top of anyone’s Christmas list but sometimes they have to be done and putting them off until they become a bigger problem is never a good idea. A small concern of septic smells coming from your plumbing if addressed quickly can sometimes be easily, quickly and inexpensively fixed. However if you ignore signs of a septic problem your small issue could become a large septic failure which could be an expensive and disruptive repair. If you have questions about your septic system please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

The Facts About Cesspools

/in , , , , , , , ,

Septic Preservation Services Septic Preservation Services has extensive experience with both septic systems and cesspools. A cesspool is a pit which acts as both a settling chamber for solids and a leaching system for liquids. The use of cesspools may overload the capacity of the soil to remove bacteria, viruses, and phosphorus, and to nitrify ammonia and organic nitrogen compounds.

A conventional septic system has a tank where solids can settle and begin to degrade, a distribution box, and a soil absorption system (SAS) that further treats the effluent by removing some of the bacteria, viruses, phosphorus, and nitrogen.  Conventional septic systems are now more common, but there are many homes and properties that still have cesspools which are not required to be replaced.  However, cesspools that exhibit signs of hydraulic failure, are located extremely close to private or public water supplies, or otherwise fail to protect or pose a threat to public health, safety or the environment will need to be upgraded.

We are replacing a cesspool for a customer in Stoughton, MA today because they have added 2 bedrooms to their home and cesspools must be upgraded prior to an increase in design flow. We also have cesspool services in Southborough, Marlborough, Grafton, Holliston, Millbury, and Uxbridge, MA.

If you have a cesspool that needs servicing or replacing please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

Septic Repairs Are Priority at Septic Preservation

/in , , , , , , , ,

All Clear Septic & Wastewater Services Septic Preservation Services wishes all Mothers a belated happy Mother’s Day for yesterday. We all want to ensure that our mothers are looked after and sometimes practicalities are more essential than flowers or chocolates.  If a septic system needs a repair, it is always inadvisable to wait.

 

“If a septic system is properly sited, is working properly, and has been maintained regularly, it will effectively and efficiently remove disease-causing bacteria. With one-third of the U.S. population using septic systems, over 1 trillion gallons of waste per year is disposed of below the ground’s surface from individual septic systems. Nutrients from failing septic systems can also cause serious health problems. For example, nitrate poses a significant threat to the health of human infants. When ingested, nitrate can interfere with the blood’s ability to carry oxygen, causing methemoglobinemia or “blue baby” syndrome. Inadequately treated sewage from failing septic systems poses a significant threat to drinking water and human health because diseases and infections may be transferred to people and animals directly and immediately. Dysentery, hepatitis, typhoid fever, and acute gastrointestinal illness are some of the more serious examples. Inadequately treated sewage from failing septic systems is the most frequently reported cause of groundwater contamination.” – The Official Website of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Massachusetts.
It is unlikely that your septic problem will have such severe repercussions unless it is ignored, but if left too long, a minor repair can become a septic failure, which can lead to unpleasant and unhealthy results. We have septic repairs scheduled today in Attleboro, Mansfield, Sharon, Franklin, Foxboro, Stoughton, and Canton, MA.  If you need to schedule a septic repair or if you have any questions please do contact us at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com
