Septic Tank and Sewerage Waste Disposal
A well-maintained septic tank disposal system will allow your sewage system to run at its optimal and avoid any un-necessary problems. Regular septic maintenance can help prevent sewage drain blockages, eliminate bad odours and avoid any raw sewage discharge, whilst allowing any potential issues to be spotted and dealt with.
Septic systems require a pump out and de-sludge approximately every 3 years to ensure that they are functioning at their peak thus avoiding;
• Damage to pumps
• Clogged sand filters
• Slow draining showers and sinks
• Toilets that won’t flush
• Disease causing parasites and micro-organisms
Regular maintenance can help avoid overflows of waste and eliminate septic tank emergencies. To prevent smaller problems escalating into major ones, make sure you dispose of waste properly and implement the following tips:
• Do not allow harsh chemicals or substances to be washed down the drain
• Avoid planting trees with deep roots near or around your septic tank system
• Always use a trained technician to pump the system
• Don’t flush items other than toilet tissue down the toilet
