What can be done to reduce the risk of septic tank failure?

To reduce the risk of septic tank failure, it is important to manage your water usage. The more you use the toilet, especially for "number two", the more often you will need to pump your septic tank. Try not to flush too many wipes or other items that clog pipes and cause a reduction in water flow. Our team will analyse your tank for any issues. Get in touch to learn more!

Who needs their septic tanks pumped out more—people who live in rural areas or city dwellers?

It's not necessarily true that people in rural areas need their septic tanks pumped more often than city dwellers. One of the main factors in the frequency of pumping your septic tank is the size of the tank. A tank outside of a city might have a capacity of 40,000 litres while one in the city may only have 12,000 litres. In this case, the urban tank would need to be pumped more often than the rural one. Another factor would be the number of occupants using the tank at each location. The more people using the tank, the faster it will fill up and require pumping.

How Often Should I Clean My Liquid Waste Tanks?

Each liquid waste tank needs to be pumped at a different rate. This is due to the size of the tanks and the frequency at which they are used.

Hire a professional to pump your family’s household septic tank every three years. If you’re a single or couple household, clear your tank every five years. We recommend pumping treatment plants every three-to-five years as well. Ask our team for tips on how to look after your treatment plant between pumps!

Sludge builds up in grey water tanks over time, which can block the drain and cause it to malfunction. That’s why you should clear grey water tanks every six-to-twelve months.

If your grease trap is in a busy restaurant, we suggest clearing it every four weeks or you’ll be putting your staff and customers at risk of health problems from grease exposure. You can clear smaller traps less frequently, from up to twelve weeks.

Internal components of your liquid waste systems may also require maintenance in between each scheduled pumping service.
