FAQ
Frequently Asked Question
How often does my septic tank or cesspit need emptying?
Septic tanks and cesspits generally need emptying every 1 to 3 years, depending on the size of the tank and the number of people using the system. Larger households or higher water usage may require more frequent emptying, while smaller households may be able to wait longer. Regular drain inspections can help determine the right schedule for your tank.
How can septic tank problems be prevented?
To prevent septic tank problems, schedule regular inspections and emptying, avoid flushing non-biodegradable items (e.g., wipes, feminine products), and limit the use of harsh chemicals that can disrupt the natural bacteria in the tank. Divert surface water away from the tank area and avoid parking heavy vehicles or placing structures on top of it. Proper maintenance and mindful usage are key to preventing drain blockages, overflows, and damage.
How do I know if there is a problem with my septic tank or cesspit?
Signs of septic tank problems include slow drains, gurgling noises from plumbing, unpleasant odours around the tank or drains, standing water in the yard, or sewage backups in sinks or toilets. If you notice any of these issues, it’s essential to have your system inspected immediately to prevent further damage or costly repairs.
How much does septic tank emptying cost?
The cost of septic tank emptying varies depending on the size of the tank, location, and the service provider. On average, it can range from £150 to £300 for a typical residential tank. Larger or more complex systems, such as those at commercial properties, may cost more. It’s always a good idea to get quotes from local service providers to compare prices.
