We are a locally owned cape cod business, owned and operated by native cape codder Sam Dunford. We have been in business since 2012 providing quality work at a competitive price. From septic systems and excavation, to landscape construction and hardscapes, S.H. Dunford is your one stop shop. Follow us on Facebook! Facebook.com/shdunford

"Sam was prompt, professional, detail oriented, very kind and quick. He was patient as we considered the scope of the project and drove me away from adding unnecessary scope (and cost, which would have been more money for him). He was extremely communicative, something I rarely see around the Cape and meticulous in his work and clean up. Believe me when I say I have high expectations that workers rarely meet - and Sam met them all."

Septic Tank Repair questions, answered by experts

While it’s possible to remove a cesspool and hook a home up to central city sewage systems, it’s more likely that the home is in a rural area, meaning a decentralized solution will make more sense. This means choosing from the many kinds of septic systems available, whether you choose one of the older types of septic systems, such as a chamber septic system, or a newer approach, like biofilters or aerobic treatment units. Each of these has its own pros, cons, and cost factors, so it’s a good idea to do plenty of research when making this decision.

To break down fat in a septic tank, you will need to hire a professional septic tank cleaner near you to either pump the septic tank or use a shock treatment to clear the clog. It’s important to not pour fat, oil, or grease (memorable with the helpful acronym FOG) down your drains because they can clog the septic system. Instead, you can dispose of them with regular trash, or if your household produces a lot of FOG waste, you may want to install a grease trap for your plumbing.

Septic distribution boxes, also called D-boxes, tend to last over 30 years if taken care of extremely well. In most cases, however, they tend to last anywhere from 15 years to 40 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as living in an area that doesn’t flood the tank or the system regularly, will all have an impact on the lifespan of the box.

A septic tank riser should extend to just above the ground level or slightly above it. The exact height can vary depending on local regulations and personal preferences, but a common guideline is to have the riser's top flush with or no more than a few inches above the surrounding ground. This height allows for easy access to the septic tank without creating a tripping hazard or obstructing mowing and landscaping activities. It's essential to ensure that the riser lid is easily visible and accessible for regular maintenance and inspection while being mindful of safety and aesthetics.

No, you cannot have a traditional septic tank without a leach field. Without a field, there would be nowhere for the wastewater to go after it leaves your septic tank. If you don’t have enough room for a full-size leach field, you could consider another type of septic system that doesn’t take up as much space, such as a mound or sand filter system.
