Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my septic tank emptied?
Most septic tanks should be emptied every 12–18 months, depending on tank size and household usage. Regular septic tank emptying prevents blockages, foul odours and costly drainage issues. We can advise you on the ideal schedule based on your system.
How do I know when my septic tank needs emptying?
Common signs include slow drains, gurgling pipes, strong smells near the tank, or wastewater backing up. If you notice any of these, book a septic tank emptying service as soon as possible to avoid damage.
What happens during a septic tank emptying service?
Our team arrives with a professional vacuum tanker to safely remove all waste from your septic tank. We check access, open the tank, empty it thoroughly and ensure everything is functioning correctly. Waste is transported to a licensed disposal facility in line with environmental regulations.
