Tank Emptying, Gulley and Chamber Clearance and Wet Waste Removal Services
Septic Tank Emptying
If your sewage tank is not maintained or emptied regularly (usually each year), the tank may fill, overflow and spill waste over the surrounding area.
This can cause foul smells and pose a potential health risk to not only people, but the surrounding wildlife and watercourses.
You may notice issues with toilets or sinks backing-up, or taking longer to drain than normal.
If your tank is under grass, you may notice additional growth around the opening into the tank compared to other areas.
If the tank fills, solids may pass into the soakaway, causing it to block and potentially fail, meaning it may need to be replaced.
The Environment Agency are now actively investigating non-compliant systems, so it is important to have your system checked regularly and emptied when necessary.
The Environment Agency and British Water both recommend that septic tanks are emptied annually to prevent spilling incidents and expensive repairs.
