The septic tank experts
Septic tanks vary in size and material, including brick, concrete, and fibreglass. They function as settlement tanks, where sewage solids are separated from liquid waste and partially treated by microbes. The solids are periodically removed by a vacuum tanker, while the liquid effluent drains into a soakaway system, where it is slowly absorbed underground. Septic tanks and cesspits are loosely categorised based on this drainage process.
How often should a septic tank be emptied?
The effectiveness of your soakaway system can be compromised if too much sewage sludge accumulates in your septic tank, potentially leading to costly issues. The average household uses around 35,000 gallons of water annually, much of which enters the soakaway. At Ashfield Effluent Services Ltd, we recommend regular septic tank emptying to avoid future issues. Our team is available 24/7 across Sutton-in-Ashfield and the East Midlands, offering fast service within a 100-mile radius of Junction 28 of the M1.
