Our Septic Preventative Maintenance Program Makes Septic System Ownership Easy

/in , , , , , , /by

Septic Preservation Services know that many people when they hear the word ‘sewer’ either think of old, large, dank, dark and smelly sewer systems under some city in Europe or adolescent turtles with unlikely names fighting bad guys through the sewer tunnel system. Neither image is particularly accurate for sewer systems in Massachusetts which service many homes across the state. However homes and properties that are not on the town sewer system still need to process their wastewater and the solution is an individual septic system. If you buy a property with a septic system and have never had one before this can be a daunting prospect. However Septic Preservation Services’ Preventative Maintenance Program is designed to give homeowners peace of mind because you then know that your system is being properly checked, maintained and monitored and owning a septic system is no longer the concern that it may have been. This means that you do not have to worry about unexpected repairs or maintenance because we will take care of your septic system so septic repairs are much less likely to be necessary and problems will be located before they become a big concern. We schedule septic services for our customers on maintenance contracts on a quarterly, biannual or annual basis depending on their septic system and the use that it gets. Today we have septic service appointments in Norton, Berkley, Dighton, East Bridgewater and Taunton MA. If you would be interested in our preventative maintenance program or if you have questions about septic services please do contact our Norton office on 877 378 4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Title 5 Septic Inspections In Sharon and Surrounding Towns

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Septic Preservation Services provide Title 5 Septic Inspections to many customers in Massachusetts and most are either selling a property or buying a property. This is because a Title 5 Inspection has to take place within 2 years before a sale. However there are other times that a Title 5 Septic Inspection is required. We are providing Title 5 Septic Inspections today in Sharon, West Bridgewater, Halifax, Middleboro, Taunton and Mansfield MA for private properties and one condominium. As specified on the Mass Gov website:

“Condominiums with 5 or more units – all systems must be inspected every 3 years.
Condominiums with fewer units must either inspect all systems every 3 years, or the system serving the unit being transferred must be inspected within 2 years prior to transfer.

This condominium building has over 5 units so we are conducting the Title 5 Inspection which needs to be carried out because its last inspection was over 3 years ago. If you require a Title 5 Septic Inspection or if you have any questions about septic inspections please do contact our Norton office on 877-378-4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Septic Repair in Acushnet MA

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Septic Preservation Services have a septic repair scheduled today for a customer in Acushnet MA. We are replacing their distribution Box (D-Box). A D-Box is exactly as it sounds it’s a box that moves, or distributes treated wastewater from your septic tank into your leach field or drain field. It must be level and installed correctly or your watewater will not distribute evenly across your leach field and this can lead to over saturation and clogging which is not desirable. The d-box we are replacing was damaged when heavy equipment was mistakenly parked on top of it which broke and moved it. We have found that many property owners with septic systems while they know they have a septic tank sometimes forget that the leachfield and d-box are also essential parts of their septic system and must also be maintained. Here are a few simple tips to help you look after all parts of your septic system:

  • Minimize the use of the garbage disposal
  • Do not put grease down your drains
  • Spread loads of laundry out over time rather than doing multiple loads in a short period of time, and use liquid detergents rather than powdered detergents
  • Avoid excessively long showers
  • Avoid leaving tap water running when shaving, brushing teeth or doing other personal or household tasks
  • Do not flush medications, harmful chemicals, excessive amounts of bleach, harsh drain cleaners or degreasers
  • Have the septic tank pumped at least every three years
  • Do not add any septic systems cleaners, enzymes or additives
  • Remove water conditioning backwash discharges from the septic system
  • Do not plant trees and shrubs over leach fields
  • Do not flush personal products, paper towels, wipes or diapers
  • Do not clean or rinse paint brushes in the sinks
  • Equip all hot tubs, spas, whirlpool baths, etcetera with drain limiting valves that will only allow five gallons per minute to drain from fixture
  • Do not drive vehicles over leach fields

We also have septic repairs scheduled in Norton, Stoughton, Canton and Taunton MA and some of these repairs could have been avoided by following the above advice. If you have any questions about your septic system or if you need a septic repair please do contact our Norton office on 877 378 4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Septic Repair To Replace Septic Tank Baffles In Foxboro MA

/in , , , , , , /by

Septic Preservation Services have been contacted by a a property owner in Foxboro MA who needs a septic repair which entails having their septic tank baffles replaced. Broken septic tank baffles result from sulfuric acid eating away at concrete baffles or rust eating away at steel baffles. A septic tank has an inlet and outlet baffle. Usually these baffles are made from concrete and are part of the tank construction. The inlet baffle slows the flow of liquid entering the tank and decreases the turbulence allowing the solids to settle in the bottom of the tank. The outlet baffle helps to retain the solids and prevent them from leaving the tank and travelling to your absorption area. A tank without an outlet baffle can compromise the longevity of your septic system and cause premature failure. We are experienced working with all parts and types of septic system so can quickly and with minimum disruption replace our client’s damaged baffles. We also have other septic repair appointments scheduled today in Carver, Bridgewater, Taunton, Raynham and Norton MA. If you require a septic repair or have questions about your septic system please do contact our Norton office on 877 378 4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services

Septic Preservation Services has Septic Services scheduled for customers today in West Bridgewater, Taunton, Lakeville, Middleboro, Norton and Raynham MA. We service both residential and commercial septic systems for our customers so they do not need to concern themselves with their septic system. This is especially important for our commercial customers who will often lose revenue if their septic system is down. We maintain and monitor our customers’ septic systems so we can help prevent septic problems from occurring by identifying issues and rectifying them before they become a large expensive repair or by preventing them from happening them first place. We also provide septic education to our customers, when necessary, because if we notice there is a potential problem building up we can educate our customers to change their behavior which can sometimes prevent a septic problem. For example if a customer is using a lot of non septic safe detergent that can adversely affect the balance of bacteria that is necessary in your septic tank to break down your waste. If we notice that this imbalance is happening early enough a change in detergent can fix this issue and, if necessary, we can introduce an additive to repair any damage that has been done. If you would be interested in taking the hassle away from septic system ownership or want the security of knowing that your septic is being taken care of please do contact our Norton Office on 877-378-4279 or visit Septic Preservation Services
