Common Questions
Your Go-To Source for Septic Tank Insights
How often should I empty my septic tank?
A septic tank should be emptied at least once per year to comply with the general binding rules. Delaying the emptying is like not servicing your car; if you don’t do it, it will cost you more in repairs and cause environmental damage. You also cannot tell when a tank needs emptying just by looking at it.
What are signs of a failing septic tank system?
If your septic tank has been left too long between emptying, you may notice signs such as slow drains, backups, foul smells, and wet, boggy areas in your Garden. During each empty, we conduct vital health checks to identify any brewing problems before they get out of control.
Can I flush anything down the toilet?
When you have a septic tank, it’s important to avoid flushing the following items down the toilet:
– Paper towels, wipes, and other non-biodegradable materials
– Food scraps and grease
– Feminine hygiene products
– Diapers and pet waste
– Chemicals, including bleach
Flushing these items can damage your septic system and lead to costly repairs.
How do I maintain my septic system?
As long as you only put products down the drain that are not harmful, your septic tank or treatment plant will be fine. The bacteria required for septic tanks and treatment plants is actually naturally occurring, so there’s no need to worry. Just make sure you get it booked in for an empty at the appropriate intervals.
What if my septic tank overflows?
This means there is usually a problem with your outlet, typically it’s the end of life for a drainage field at that stage. However, when you book in to get it emptied, we will be able to provide you with the next steps to get your drains flowing again.
What should I avoid pouring down the drain?
Pouring grease, harsh chemicals, or non-biodegradable items down the drain can cause serious blockages. Stick to water and biodegradable soaps to protect your septic system’s health.
How can I tell if my tank needs service?
Septic tanks don’t usually require servicing as the tank empty is all that’s required. For sewage treatment plants, it really depends on the model – typically air blower models don’t need a lot of maintenance, however belt and motor ones will need more. You should consult the installation manual if you’re unsure or just give us a call.
Is the installation of a new sewage treatment plant complex?
Installation can be complicated, but our team is here to help. We’ll guide you through every step, ensuring you understand the process and what to expect.
Can I use additives in my septic tank?
Additives are often unnecessary and can disrupt the natural bacteria in your tank. It’s usually best to stick with standard care methods recommended by professionals.
What happens during a septic tank inspection?
A septic tank survey is a highly detailed check for legal compliance with the general binding rules. It is a requirement for those moving homes with a septic tank or sewage treatment plant, and it assesses pollution and legal status. New tanks must also have this survey to ensure their compliant, this is entirely separate to building regulations. Around 30% of the tanks we install were installed less than 2 years ago, often by DIY enthusiasts, inexperienced builders, or unqualified installers. Even if your know your tank will fail a compliance survey it’s still best to have one carried out so that you can ensure that your new system will be fully compliant
