What is a septic tank?
Septic tanks are systems installed underground that collect and treat wastewater where a property is not connected to the mains sewer system. They are designed to settle and store the waste solids produced from a property. Each tank usually consists of two or more chambers.
How do they work?
Septic tanks use a simple treatment process that allows the treated wastewater to drain away to a soakaway or stream. A soakaway is a hole dug in the ground and filled with rubble and coarse stones, designed to disperse water back into the surrounding ground without flooding.
A septic tank has two chambers and is buried underground in the same way as a cesspit. As wastewater enters the first tank, solids settle at the bottom and begin to decompose, while liquid flows through to the second chamber. This allows any smaller suspended solids to settle and the water to exit the tank through the soakaway.
Emptying your septic tank
It’s advisable to have sludge removed from the septic tank regularly, ideally every six to twelve months. Bacteria in the tank is vital to the biological decomposition process. Therefore, we do not recommend overusing biological cleaning products and bleach. It is crucial that you avoid pouring hazardous waste down your drains or toilets. This can also cause potential threats to the environment and to your septic tank. Emptying your septic tank when necessary helps to prevent overflowing, blockage, costly damage to your system and damage to the environment.
