Frequently Asked Questions

Most septic tanks should be emptied at least once a year, although the frequency depends on the size of the tank, the number of people using it, and the amount of wastewater produced.

Signs that your septic tank may need replacing include frequent blockages, slow drains, unpleasant smells, sewage backing up, pooling water around the drainage area, or a system that no longer meets current regulations. An inspection by a septic tank specialist can determine whether repairs are possible or if replacement is the best option.

Homes without access to mains drainage need an alternative wastewater solution, such as a septic tank, sewage treatment plant, or cesspit. If your home is connected to the mains sewer, your toilet and wastewater will be managed through the public drainage system.

It is best to use toilet paper that is septic tank safe and designed to break down quickly. Avoid flushing thick, quilted, or excessive amounts of toilet paper. These can take longer to break down and may contribute to blockages or system issues.

A septic tank is cleaned by removing the accumulated sludge and wastewater using specialist vacuum equipment. Professional septic tank emptying involves safely pumping out the contents. Then, checking the tank for any issues, and disposing of waste in accordance with environmental regulations.

A septic tank treats wastewater by separating solids and allowing liquid effluent to drain away through a soakaway or drainage field. A cesspit, on the other hand, is a sealed underground storage tank that collects all wastewater and must be emptied regularly.
