Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a septic tank and sewage/water treatment unit?

Put simply, septic tanks separate wastewater and solids, whereas sewage treatment units offer some level of waste treatment. Hence, the water that leaves a sewage treatment unit/ plant is cleaner compared to the water that exists a septic tank. Septic tanks are not compliant if they discharge directly into a ditch, stream, river, lake, or pond for this reason.

How often does a septic tank or sewage treatment plant need emptying?

This depends on the volume of the tank and the solids going into it. There is no set time, however on average this is typically every 6-12 months.

What are the signs that a septic tank/ sewage treatment plant needs emptying?

There are several signs including pooling water, bad smells and issues with drainage/ flushing a toilet. We offer repair services but highly recommend that you have the septic tank/ sewage treatment unit serviced regularly to prevent issues.

Can I empty my own septic tank/ sewage treatment plant?

You should not empty, repair or service your own sewage installation solution. This needs to be handled by a professional.

Do you have any tips to keep my septic tank/ sewage treatment plant in good condition?

– Avoid putting fat/ grease or solvents down your drains
– Do not put nappies or sanitary items into the system
– Get the system regularly serviced (at least annually) by a professional
– Try spreading your laundry out over a week (rather than doing it all on one day)
– Make sure soakaways/ drainage fields are protected from damage
– Use bleach and disinfectants sparingly (these can kill the helpful bacterial in the tank/ plant)
