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.
