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 Tanks questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth, but typically, septic tanks are buried between 4 inches and 4 feet underneath the earth’s surface. There are a few factors that will determine your tank’s depth, including the height of your bedrock, the distance between your home and the tank, and the depth of your main sewer line.

There are a lot of issues that can cause a septic tank to collapse. Those include failing to regularly pump or service it every three to five years, placing too much weight atop the system—by parking your car on top of it or because of a heavy snow buildup for instance—or because of structural damage done by overgrown tree roots.

With so much available information about the ecological effects of cesspools (and their general unpleasantness), it begs the question: Are cesspools legal? In short, sort of. Large-capacity cesspools that serve more than 20 people are completely illegal countrywide. Existing, smaller cesspools are generally allowed as long as they’re not actively polluting. However, new cesspools are illegal to build in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and many states offer programs to help homeowners with the costs of updating cesspools to modern septic systems.

Permits command adherence to health and environmental standards, with submission crucial for new system installations or extensive modifications.

Yes, you can replace a concrete septic tank lid with a plastic riser. A plastic riser will offer easier access to your tank when it’s time for pumping or repairs. However, since concrete is heavy and hard to handle, this is a job best left to the pros and not a DIYer.
