Frequently Asked Septic Tank Questions

What is a septic tank?

A septic tank is an underground wastewater treatment system that is commonly used in areas where there is no access to a centralized sewer system. It is typically made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic and is designed to collect and treat household wastewater on-site.

How does a septic tank work?

A septic tank separates solids from liquids in wastewater. Upon entering the tank, wastewater undergoes natural decomposition and separation. Solids settle as sludge, while oils and grease rise as scum. Clarified liquid (effluent) exits the tank and enters the drainfield for further treatment and soil dispersal.

How often should a septic tank be pumped?

Pumping frequency depends on factors such as tank size and household occupancy. It is generally recommended to pump your septic tank once every 2 to 4 years. Contact Maintain Drains for personalised advice on your pumping schedule.

What are the signs that a septic tank needs maintenance?

Look out for signs like slow drains, foul odours, dampness, gurgling sounds, or overly green grass around the drainfield. These indicate the need for maintenance. Prompt action by a professional is essential.

How much does septic tank maintenance cost?

The cost of septic tank maintenance varies based on factors like tank size and location. For accurate pricing tailored to your needs, get in touch with Maintain Drains.
