Septic Tank Emptying

We have been established for over twenty years and have over fifty years’ combined experience, and we will be happy to help with all of your septic tank needs, whether in a commercial or domestic setting.

Septic tanks make use of natural biological processes to break down waste matter. They can be made from concrete, plastic or fibreglass.

There are two main types of septic tank; one is a holding tank and the other has a soakaway attached.

A septic tank allows waste to separate into three layers: solids, effluent and crust. The solid matter falls to the bottom of the tank, where it is decomposed by bacteria. This leaves the effluent and a crust which floats on top.

Both the effluent and the crust need to be removed from the tank on a regular basis using specialist equipment.

A septic tank with a soakaway allows the liquid to soak out, leaving only solids. This type of tank only needs to be emptied once the solids are at a high level.
