It’s recommended that you have your builders toilets pumped out every six months to a year, depending on how often they are being used. If they sit unused for prolonged periods of time this will reduce the frequency of required pumping. You can also check how full your tanks are by looking at the waste level indicators inside—if there are waterlines above them, it’s time to get your tank pumped out. 

If left unchecked, the waste will accumulate and start leaking into the surrounding soil and contaminating groundwater supplies. This contamination could have serious health and environmental impacts—which is why regular servicing is so important.

There are many ways in which septic waste can be repurposed or recycled. The waste can be composted and used as fertiliser for gardens or lawns. Alternatively, some of the components in this waste may be separated out so that they can be reused as fuel for heating or power generation.

Septic tank wastewater can contain harmful chemicals or bacteria and should only ever be handled by experienced waste management teams. Professional septic tank cleaners have the equipment, knowledge and experience needed to safely remove and process potentially hazardous substances from your septic system—without causing any damage or disruption to your home or property. They are also better at identifying problems with your septic tank and assessing the condition of other parts of your plumbing network, allowing them to provide you with a more thorough service.

In addition, professional cleaners can help you plan for future issues or improvements to your septic tank system, ensuring it remains in good working order for years to come.

A septic tank is an underground chamber where wastewater from your home collects. Once in the tank, the solid waste settles to the bottom while the liquids rise. Bacteria in the tank break down the waste, and the liquids are eventually absorbed into the ground. 

A professional will remove the solid waste during a pump-out by connecting a suction line to the tank. The technician will then transport and dispose of it properly. They may also clean the interior of your tank and inspect it for any damage.
