Septic Tank & Cesspit Emptying

Septic Tank Services

Septic tanks and Cesspits are both responsible for collecting waste water and sewage from domestic and commercial properties that are not connected to the main sewer system.

Compliant septic tanks and dispersion fields provide an affordable, efficient and environmentally friendly way to deal with waste water. That being said, in the UK it is important to adhere to regulations that ensure that septic tanks and cesspits are well maintained.  In the UK, the regulations you must follow are the General Binding Rules. The general binding rules regulate small sewage discharges and apply to operators of septic tanks or small sewage treatment plants.

Common Cesspit and Septic Tank Problems

When managing your cesspit or septic tank on your property, it is vital that you follow the General Binding Guidelines (read more in our Complete Guide to Cesspits and Septic Tanks). Some common problems which occur and symptoms to look out for include:

• Slower running drains than usual
• A foul smell coming from your septic tank
• Excess water in the surrounding ground or marshy land around the tank

In such cases, these problems could indicate a wider septic tank or cesspit issue and it is recommended that you call an expert. You can call us direct on: 0800 66 88 00

Cesspit Emptying and Maintenance Services

Cesspits provide a similar solution to septic tanks, collecting your waste and sewage. Cesspits, unlike septic tanks, do not have an outlet and do not treat the waste in any way. Due to their nature, cesspits are typically used when the ground is unsuitable for the waste to be treated, this can include areas in close proximity to water courses.

Cesspits fill up at a faster rate and require emptying more frequently as all solids and liquids are retained in the tank. Read all about cesspits and how to manage them in our comprehensive Cesspit and Septic Tank Guide.

At Metro Rod, we understand the intricacies of both cesspits and septic tanks. It is for this reason that, as well as offering septic tank emptying and maintenance, we offer the same services for cesspits as well. If you have a specific cesspit need, you can contact us today by calling us direct on 0800 66 88 00.
