About Septic RI
Plain-language help with cesspool and septic questions for homeowners, buyers and sellers across South County, Rhode Island.
What this site is for
Rhode Island's cesspool law, the salt pond nitrogen rules and each town's inspection program are spread across statutes, state rules and town code. We pull them into one place and write them in plain language, so a homeowner in Wakefield, Westerly or on Block Island can see what applies to their property before they pick up the phone.
Every rule, deadline and dollar figure on the site links to the agency that publishes it, usually RIDEM, the Rhode Island General Laws or the town itself. Pages carry the date they were last checked. Start with Rhode Island's cesspool law or the town-by-town rules.
Free estimates
When you are ready for a price, call 401-535-7951 and describe the property and what is driving the work: a sale, a failed inspection, a backup or a planned renovation. We will set you up with a free estimate from a septic company that works in your town. There is no charge to you for the call or the estimate. See contact for details.
