Septic Pumping
Regular septic tank pumping preserves system longevity and prevents failures. Our commercial and residential services handle tanks from 1000 to 2000+ gallons, including tough to reach installations. Licensed technicians use specialized equipment to safely remove solids and liquids while following environmental regulations.
Title 5 Inspections
Comprehensive Title 5 assessments identify system functionality and code compliance. Our 3,000+ inspections ensure accurate findings through soil analysis and system diagnostics. Engineers document findings with precise measurements and provide actionable recommendations for system improvements or upgrades.
Perc Tests
Percolation testing determines soil absorption rates for septic design. Our experts dig test holes to measure drainage speeds in minutes per inch. This data informs leach field sizing and system elevation requirements. Results help create code-compliant installations that account for groundwater levels and soil composition.
Septic Repairs
From tank replacement to leaching field restoration, our certified team handles all repairs. Services include installing baffles, pipe replacement, distribution box maintenance, and riser installations. We bring systems up to code while maintaining separation distances from water sources and structures.
System Installations
Full septic system installations from design through permitting and construction. Our in-house engineering team creates custom layouts that meet local regulations. Services include excavation, tank placement, leaching field construction, and final as-built documentation for town record-keeping and future maintenance.
Questions
What is a perc test?
A perc test measures soil absorption rates to determine septic system design. Water is poured into test holes, and the drainage speed (minutes per inch) determines field sizing requirements.
How often should I pump my septic tank?
Annual pumping is recommended to prevent solids buildup. Regular maintenance extends system life and prevents costly failures. Commercial systems may require more frequent service.
What are as-built plans?
As-builts document exact system measurements after installation. Required by Massachusetts towns, they show actual layout differences from original designs for future repairs or replacements.
Do you serve both residential and commercial clients?
We serve all property types with tanks ranging from 1000 to 2000+ gallons. Our services include residential repairs, commercial maintenance contracts, and new construction projects.
How do I find my septic system records?
Local Board of Health or DPW offices maintain as-built plans. If uncertain, we can help locate system components and create updated documentation for property improvements.
Can you handle emergency septic issues?
Emergency service is available 7 days a week. Call 508-660-1300 immediately for system failures, backups, or suspected leaks to prevent property damage and contamination.
