Services & Process

Peixoto Construction handles full septic system installations, including site evaluation, tank placement, and leach field construction from the ground up. Their excavation services cover everything from breaking ground on a new system to exposing and repairing an existing one. Demolition work comes into play when an outdated cesspool or failed concrete tank needs to be removed before a new system goes in. This integrated approach means a single crew can demo the old system, excavate, and install the replacement without handing the job off between contractors.

Service Area

Peixoto Construction serves Berkley and the surrounding Bristol County region, including Taunton, Dighton, Somerset, and Raynham. Their equipment and crew are well-suited to the rural residential properties common throughout southeastern Massachusetts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a cesspool and a septic tank?
A cesspool is an older system that collects waste in a pit where liquids leach directly into the surrounding soil without any treatment. A modern septic tank separates solids from liquid and allows treated effluent to flow to a proper drain field, which is far more effective and required by Massachusetts code for most properties.
How long does a full septic system installation take in Berkley?
From permit approval to final inspection, a new installation typically takes one to two weeks, though the actual digging and construction usually wraps up in a few days. Permit processing time through the local Board of Health is often the longest part of the timeline.
Can Peixoto handle demolition of an old cesspool before installing a new system?
Yes, removing an old cesspool or failed tank is part of the process when upgrading a system. The old structure is demolished, excavated, and properly filled before the new septic installation begins.
Does Berkley have specific septic system requirements?
Berkley follows Massachusetts Title 5 regulations, which set standards for system sizing, setbacks from water bodies, and soil testing. The town's rural character and proximity to the Taunton River means setback requirements are taken seriously during any new installation or repair.
What soil conditions affect septic system design in southeastern Massachusetts?
Soil percolation rates determine how well a drain field can absorb effluent. Some parts of Bristol County have clay-heavy or high-water-table soils that require engineered systems or raised bed designs rather than a standard leach field.
Do I need to be home during septic work?
You don't necessarily need to be on-site the entire time, but it's helpful to be available at the start of the job to walk through the plan and answer any questions. For multi-day projects, regular check-ins with the contractor keep everything on track.
