Wet waste removal solutions

Septic tanks are used where this is no public sewer available. They work on the principle of breaking down solids by anaerobic bacteria in an enclosed chamber. The final purification of the liquid is in a filter bed. The effluent is sometimes discharged into a humus chamber, which allows the unstable material from the filter to settle. The water resulting from the process then passes into a soakaway. Water from a septic tank should not be discharged into a ditch, stream, river or pond.

Cesspools are used where there is no public sewer available and where the sub soil cannot soak away the liquid from a septic tank, or if there is no suitable stream or river to take the final effluent from a processing plant. They are simply a large enclosed chamber to collect the effluent, which is then removed on a regular basis and taken to a sewerage treatment works. Cesspools are considered to be a last resort for dealing with sewerage.

This depends on the capacity of the septic tank or cesspool. Please contact us on 01252 717 550 to receive a personalised quotation. Please note for domestic waste removal, VAT is not chargeable.

This depends on usage; glass fibre bottle type septic tanks should be emptied at least annually or as recommended by the manufacturer.

This depends on usage and the capacity of the cesspool and the number of occupants within the premises.

As with septic tanks this again depends on usage, however they are generally serviced every six months or as recommended by the manufacturer. Lifting pump chambers are generally serviced annually or as recommended by the manufacturer.
