Septic System Repair Appointments Today

Septic Preservation Services Septic Preservation Services has septic repair appointments for customers today in Bellingham, Franklin, Foxboro, Blackstone, Uxbridge, Wrentham, and Millis, MA.  Customers contact us for many reasons for septic repairs.  Often customers need our technicians to first diagnose the problem and then make suggestions on ways to fix the issue. One of our septic repairs today is for a property whose septic system had a conditional pass after its Title 5 Inspection was carried out.  As specified on the Massachusetts Official website of the executive office of energy and environmental affairs:

 

“A system with specific components that need repair or replacement would qualify for a conditional pass. Examples of system components eligible for a conditional pass include a metal or cracked septic tank, a broken or obstructed pipe, or an uneven distribution box.

When the system component has been repaired or replaced, the Board of Health must issue a Certificate of Compliance confirming that the corrective work has been done.”
We are repairing an uneven distribution box and broken pipe in this instance.  If you need a septic repair, whether it is a small repair or large replacement job, please do contact our office.  Our knowledgeable staff will be able to answer any questions you may have and schedule an appointment if required.  You can reach us at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com

septic inspection and assessments

SEPTIC SYSTEMS INSPECTIONS & ASSESSMENTS

SEPTIC SYSTEMS INSPECTIONS & ASSESSMENTS

Proper septic system inspection is the best way to prevent property owners from having to face unexpected and costly repairs. An inspector can determine whether you are disposing of sewage and gray wastewater in a safe and legal manner.

MASSACHUSETTS TITLE 5 INSPECTION

Since 1995, the State of Massachusetts has required residential and commercial property owners to pass a Title 5 Inspection of their on-site sewage treatment systems before they can sell the property. Specific guidelines were set to prevent the contamination of local drinking water supplies and groundwater as a result of outdated or ineffective septic systems or cesspools. Septic Preservation offers Massachusetts Title 5 Inspections, using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, giving you a thorough inspection at a price you can afford.

RHODE ISLAND TOWN INSPECTIONS

In addition to the Massachusetts Title 5 Inspection, Septic Preservation is also licensed to perform Rhode Island Town Inspections. These inspections are required by many towns throughout Rhode Island, including Charlestown, Jamestown, North Kingstown and South Kingstown. Because it is a part of the local town ordinance, residential and commercial property owners living in these areas are required to submit to these regular inspections of their septic systems. SPS uses state-of-the-art tools to provide these services to our customers at an affordable rate.

CONFIDENTIAL VOLUNTARY ASSESSMENTS

Many property owners are unaware that they have the ability to hire a licensed inspector, such as SPS, to perform Confidential Voluntary Assessments of their septic systems. These inspections are completed just as they would be according to the Title 5 Inspections required by the State of Massachusetts, but the findings are NOT reported to any other person, municipality or office outside of the homeowner.

Once the inspection is complete, the homeowner will receive a thorough report from Septic Preservation along with an assessment of the findings and some recommendations on how to properly maintain or repair their septic system. The recommendations provided by SPS are designed to increase longevity and prevent future issues, such as property damage, high cost repairs or system replacement.

Commercial Property Title 5 Inspection

Septic Preservation ServicesSeptic Preservation Services has Title 5 Inspections scheduled today in West Bridgewater, Berkley, Lakeville, Freetown, Rochester, Acushnet, Mattapoisett, and Fairhaven, MA.  Most of the inspections are required because properties that are being sold have a septic system,  but one of the Title 5 Inspections we are conducting is for a commercial property.  This restaurant is expanding and adding seating so the owners need a new septic inspection to be carried out.  As stated by the The Official Website of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs for Massachusetts:

 

“A system must be inspected upon any change of use or increase in design flow, BUT ONLY IF the change or expansion also requires a building permit or occupancy permit from the local building inspector . Examples include adding a bedroom to a house, adding seats to a restaurant, or changing the type of business operating at a commercial location.  Check with the Building Department and/or Board of Health to find out if your situation requires a building or occupancy permit which will trigger a system inspection.

 

Any change in the footprint of a building also requires an inspection to determine the location of the system, to ensure that construction will not be located on top of any system components or on the reserve area. If official records are available to determine the location of the system components, this requirement may be waived.  Check with your local Board of Health.”
If you are unsure whether you need a Title 5 Inspection either check with the Building Department and/or Board of Health or contact our office. If you need to schedule a Title 5 Inspection please do contact our office at 877-378-4279 or visit www.septicpreservation.com
