Why is septic tank and biocycle cleaning important?
- Regular cleaning prevents blockages, bad odours, and costly repairs.
- It ensures your system operates efficiently and protects your home and environment from potential contaminants.
How often should I schedule a septic tank or biocycle clean?
- It’s recommended to clean your tank every 1-2 years.
- Factors like tank size, household usage, and what goes into the tank can influence this.
- Our team offers maintenance reminders to keep you on track!
What should I do before booking a cleaning service?
Here’s a quick checklist:
- Hosing Length: Estimate the distance from where our lorry will park to your tank. For distances over 50 metres (165 feet), additional hosing may be needed.
- Driveway Width: Measure your driveway width. We need about 9 feet (2.7 metres) for our lorries to enter safely.
- Manhole Covers: Ensure all manhole covers are exposed. Dig around them if necessary, as we cannot service through the ventilation pipes.
How can I tell if my Septic Tank needs cleaning?
Watch for signs like:
- Weak flushing
- Slow drainage
- Bad odours
- Drain blockages
- Wastewater backup
If you notice any of these signs, it might be time for a cleaning!
What should I look out for during Autumn/Winter?
- In the colder months, when you’re less likely to be in your garden, keep an eye on your tank and soakaway.
- Look for boggy patches near or above your system, as these can indicate potential problems.
- If you spot any signs of trouble, don’t hesitate to contact us.
